6 sats \ 0 replies \ @theKOMOTION 18 Dec 2022 \ on: Tell me something cool you did this week using LN bitcoin
donated sats to young underprivileged kids in my neighborhood
the whitepaper mentions micropayments in the Introduction:
"The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions"
but now we have lightning network⚡️, so we good… we doing great.
in the nearest future, the best experiences will be built using LN.
for some it’s easy, just a constructive conversation goes a long way.
for some it takes gifting sats (everyone likes free money… so imagine giving out what you explained as “real money” to them)
at the gym my partner goes, I introduced a few people there to “Smiles” app so they use fitness to earn portions of bitcoin and from there they get to understand on their own seeing the legitimacy and ease in moving sats.
I also started a podcast-type voice note I send on instant messaging apps to friends trying to teach what I know.
the most important project I am on is introducing lightning to a friends barbecue business, he still doesn’t believe in bitcoin but I accept all the sats he sells and give him fiat in return… some day he’ll figure out why I chose real money.
For a while there has been restrictions placed on bitcoin in my country (🇳🇬) by the government… it hasn’t reduced adoption. Bitcoin is still operating as usual with newer ways in acquiring and transacting with bitcoin even at grassroot level.
Where I’m from, (🇳🇬), the government outrightly has tried to villianise bitcoin… so many people remain misinformed & uneducated on what bitcoin really is and until there’s a real understanding adoption out here would be slow.
Because state controlled money doesn’t make sense to what freedom & democracy means to me. Being a Bitcoin maxi is real human rights advocacy.
I’d recommend https://tallyco.in/ , it helps with crowdfunding using lightning payments.
