I’m excited to be hosting a Guided Tour at OMR this year on May 7th at 3:45 PM on the topic:
💸 Digital Cash – The Future of Payments
How will digital currencies and blockchain technology reshape the way we pay and get paid?
From Bitcoin Lightning payments to tokenized company shares and assets on the blockchain — we’ll dive into the tech that's redefining value transfer.
🎟️ Spots are almost fully booked — but you are welcome to drop by and visit us at booth B6 B07.
Looking forward to some great conversations!

Intellectual property is a scam. Of course everyone is free to create their own version of a fictional world somebody else thought up.
You’d have to violate their basic rights to prevent them from doing so.

New Year, New Merchants! Meet Manuel, the owner of Otto-Lotto-Tabak & Presse in Ottobrunn near Munich. He took over the shop 2 years ago, conveniently located right next to Ottobrunn train station. This kiosk has been a local staple for over 50 years.
As of yesterday, Manuel has embraced innovation by accepting Bitcoin through OPAGO PAY. Manuel values staying ahead in the game and is always on the lookout for new products to offer his customers. In addition to magazines and tobacco, there's also a big selection of international sweets.
📍 Ottostraße 69a, 85521 Ottobrunn, Germany

Why do you keep talking like a FUDster 💩coiner?
Many people will chose custodial no matter the transaction fee for opening a channel.
But spreading this FUD while operating your own node is still orders of magnitude cheaper than using a credit card is just ridiculous.
We don’t need no enemies of Bitcoiners argue this badly.

2023-05-07 13:15:30

- reply

This is ok. We always knew that high fees would come, which is why we built Lightning.
Most people don’t need to open/close channels more than once a year, the stabler Lightning implementations become the less you’ll need to close channels.
If you think this is a problem you are deluded. If you use a credit card you have more fees per month than a node costs in a year. Just because you don’t see it on your credit card statement doesn’t mean you don’t pay it.

That’s not true. Most European countries either do or have such extensive regulations to force you to Switzerland who do.
On top of that several tools that have nothing to do with KYC use signed messages, Amboss, nostr.directory…
You cannot make incompatible code to take a feature out unless you want to split the chain.
The only way to get rid of it os by creating something better. Teleporting Bitcoin for example will make KYC by signing irrelevant.

2023-04-22 04:55:46

- reply

It‘s that simple. A feature is in Bitcoin and is being used. There is no taking it out again. All you could do is split the versions of code used and long run risk another network split.

I hear his point, but it’s again a point where the software dev in Matt has blinded him for the reality of Bitcoin.

-EVs that are better than any gas car

So yea, he is great at marketing and a lot he does never works out. Yet he achieved more than any single person in history, maybe except Tesla himself.

Nice, we are at the point where discussion always ends, with Monero heads making up stuff.
No, range proofs insure you not against an inflation bug.
And a layer 2 in this case is the opposite of compromise. You don’t compromise the main layer, thus using a layer 2.
And no, the supply is not twindling. Lost coins are dormant, this doesn’t hurt monetary function at all. It would only be the case if coins were actively taken out of wallets or added in.

2023-04-06 12:01:53

- reply

No, you imply he was an idiot, because he explained exactly why ledger needs to be public.
If supply isn’t stable, it’s not a viable money. Monero doesn’t solve this issue. For all we know Monero already has an inflation bug.
Everything monero tries to solve can be built on lightning without compromising the money.

2023-04-06 05:27:59

Stable coins are way too risky for me.

2023-04-06 05:19:54

- reply

No, Monero is not cash at all. It doesn’t solve the problems that a cash needs to solve, Monero is unauditable, Inflation bugs are undetectable.
This is why Satoshi built Bitcoin the way he built it. If you think Monero is cash, you say satoshi was an idiot, since he was very much aware of the options Monero choose, but purposely didn’t use because he knew why previous eCash systems failed.
If you understood how great the breakthrough of Bitcoin is, you’d be working on Lightning and not Monero.
So it is an IQ test indeed, but the results are the opposite of what you think. You advocating for Monero shows that you never understood Bitcoin’s innovation to begin with.

2023-04-05 13:43:23

- reply

No true Bitcoiner gets along with Monero Bros and every Monero advocate must argue that Satoshi was at least some part idiot.
Monero is a coin that ignores the innovation Satoshi made and thinks it can do a better money without actually solving the problems satoshi solved.

Nope. The Maxwell equations predict exactly that light gets refracted by boundaries between mediums.
So from these equations the picture is absolutely what’s expected.
