Now Gold Diggers can have Sugar Daddy paying receipts remotely

It started from a joke that "let nostr pay for drinks"...

it simply allow you to scan a fiat receipt or upload a photo of it, to be read and transformed in a lighting invoice, payable by multiple partied via LN or cashu tokens



One can scan a receipt and get it paid by someone else. an example link at the bottom of the note that can be (over)paid with lightning or cashu https://sugardaddy.cash/receipt/9b0b4a2d49f349fffc1f906541cfbe1482dbe3a594e46476c6f37d783565b8a8/1dbfe851e98d5c16bf07766f0735b58bbc8c490604559184d324cad9947f70d8

Lyn Alden and Andy Constan go deep on Bitcoin treasury companies like Strategy, debating whether they’re outright Ponzi schemes or legitimate vehicles for leveraged Bitcoin exposure.

We dig into how these companies actually generate returns, why premiums to NAV exist, and the conditions that could cause the model to unravel. Lyn lays out her cautiously bullish case for well-run treasuries, while Andy argues the structure depends on new capital in ways that can’t last forever.

In this episode:
- What makes a Bitcoin treasury company different from an ETF
- Why premiums to NAV exist
- How Strategy’s capital structure works
- Whether treasury companies can generate income without selling Bitcoin
- The “Ponzi-adjacent” problem

Lyn Alden & Andy Constan: is MSTR a Ponzi?

🇸🇻 EL SALVADOR JUST ANNOUNCED TO LAUNCH A #BITCOIN BANK 👀

> Bitcoin’s layer-2 scaling platform, Lightning Network, could see a surge in stablecoin volume over the next couple of years, driven by increased retail and institutional adoption, according to industry experts. 

![](https://m.stacker.news/103942)

> Speaking to Cointelegraph, Graham Krizek, founder and CEO of Lightning Network payments provider Voltage, said increased adoption of the layer-2 network will see it handle 5% of the global stablecoin volume as early as 2028. Krizek said that LN adoption will be driven by retail and developers who are “leading the wave.”
> 
> “Edge cases are being built by developers, and retail is always using, testing and exploring ways in which Lightning is becoming a staple to these new edge cases.”
> 
> Additionally, retail customers are demanding Lightning from the businesses, “which is why we’re seeing an increase in businesses like exchanges adding Lightning support,” he said,  adding that institutional interest is also growing. 
> 
> Exchanges have been quick to adopt the LN for cost savings and the benefits of much faster transactions, he said, noting that firms such as Cash App are already using it, with 25% of their BTC payments on the LN. 
> 
> “Any business that uses Bitcoin will have Lightning integrations. Instant settlement will be standard, like we expect from any payment option.”

Just lurking around on what news say about lighting these days. Feels like that after @jack announced bring Bitcoin to Square https://stacker.news/items/990477/r/supratic, (some) media have changed opinion.

Lightning Network could nab 5% of stablecoin flows by 2028

# Bitcoin's Lightning Network capacity declined 20% in 2025 but it's NOT as bad as it sounds

![](https://m.stacker.news/103938)

> Bitcoin’s Lightning Network capacity has declined from over 5,400 BTC in late 2023 to around 4,200 BTC by August 2025, a roughly 20% drop, per mempool.space data. While the raw figures imply a contraction, analysts and developers suggest the shift reflects structural evolution in routing and protocol design rather than a retreat in adoption.

> The decline in public capacity accompanies a longer-term drop in public node and channel counts, which have been in steady decline since 2022, according to data from mempool.space.

Latest drop in recent days maybe caused by latest LND 0.19.2 update as mentioned here https://stacker.news/items/1069842/r/supratic by @02321d1dfd 


Bitcoin withdrawals via Lightning hit +15% despite -20% network decline

## A tip card system based on LNbits and the lightning network

Lightning TipCards are a tip (or gift) card system, where you can fund tip cards via the lightning network
and the gifted person can redeem the funded cards. The gifted person gets a short introduction to bitcoin and a lightning
app recommendation to start their journey into the bitcoin rabbit hole.

It is an open-source project developed and operated for the benefit of the Bitcoin community,
with a focus on "How to gentle orange pill nocoiners" - and without warranty of any kind.

[LNbits](https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits) is used for the wallet and lightning payments in the background.
