There’s absolutely no way I could ever go back. Thank you #bitcoin for showing me the truth. Undoing the last 40 years, for the next 40 years.

As long as MSM controls the narrative, it's going to be hard for most to make the switch. They want free speech but in a centralized system.

Something is going on with my #nostr #npub. All those who I follow were deleted from my account on primal. I checked using other relays and the same. Accounts not synced. Anybody else have this problem?

It would be great if artist had a place to showcase their work receive zaps for their work and even better if artist had a place to crowdfund to do bigger projects or even sell their work for fractional shares. Another good idea would be collaborations, artist love to be able to collaborate and share ideas.

Thanks for helping clarify. So if you don’t really fund L2 , does that mean you have to continuously open additional payment channels to add more funds to L2?

Well, like I said, I am in the process of trying to understand the lightning network. I started with phoenix wallet that was pretty easy set up. We know what happened with phoenix in the US.
Now I have downloaded Mutiny Wallet and ZEUS . So now I’m understanding that these wallets all have different features . I’m also learning that having a wallet doesn’t mean you have a lightning address . This is where the confusion starts.
The next confusing thing is funding layer 2 from layer 1. I thought with the wallets having on chain and layer 2, I would be able to send the on chained to layer 2, but that is not how it work. I understand that I need a second channel. But that in itself is confusing as well because if I’m trying to send on chain Bitcoin to the lightning network, I don’t understand what the second channel role is.
From the tutorials I’ve been watching everybody funds their lightning wallet from another lightning wallet, so the question is how do you fund the initial lightning wallet? I was able to fund my wallet because I had already been able to set up a Phoenix wallet .
Now I’m confused on how to add funds to layer 2. In addition, it seems that I’m only being allowed to add so much funding to my lightning wallets. Which means there is a limit on what I’m able to purchase using lightning simply because I can only fund my account up to a certain amount which I don’t even understand what that is.
I understand there is inbound liquidity and outbound liquidity, but I do not understand how you adjust those liquidities and how those liquidities affect my transactions. So on one hand, I understand the necessity and need for lightning network, on the other hand the lightning network is not easy to navigate.

As a non-Bitcoin developer who fully appreciates everything #bitcoin has to offer. I must say after spending the last month on #nostr, I have to say the lingo is not very user friendly.
For me personally, I have been spending quite a bit of time trying to understand and figure out how to use the lightning network. I can see the development process happening with some of the apps, but I have to say if we want Bitcoin to reach mass adoption we have got to spend more time making these apps, user-friendly. I think one issue with Bitcoin adoption is not just understanding the technology but being intimidated by the interfaces of a lot of these programs and apps. If you’re not a developer or a highly motivated individual it’s very easy to become discouraged in the Bitcoin space, simple because it’s not easy to navigate. Thankfully, they are so many awesome helpful people in the Bitcoin community that I have been able to stay afloat, but for many people who are just simply afraid to ask questions this is going to be a challenge.
So thank you for all of your contributions and your continued contributions, but please please keep in mind easy user friendly is the way to mass adoption.

Your Paper has some good pointers, you are definitely on the right track and any contributions to spreading bitcoin education is highly needed and useful. You are a bitcoin contributor!
If it's directed toward newbies I would suggest trying to make the language as simple as possible.
"How inflation is calculated by gov," definitely needs a few pointers . I would also suggest looking at Lyn Alden's documentary for a clear explanation.

It looks like #bitcoin has found its stride.

The hamster wheel of life keeps the brain on the same loop and it’s extremely hard to jump off. One, you are afraid to stop and two, you don’t believe you can survive without it. Those two factor may keep majority of people from ever learning about #bitcoin. In order to reach mass adoption it would also require majority to understand the fiat system. That point alone is an extremely hard task to accomplish.
So this brings me to the conclusion that #bitcoin will only reach mass adoption when the GP has no choice and are force to use #bitcoin. We need to support our Devs to whatever extent it takes to create the “ Bitcoin or Else” narrative.
This world is literally snatching the spirit out of human beings. People are becoming hopeless and lost . We need #bitcoin for so much more than a SoV or MoE. We need #bitcoin to reinvigorate ones passion for life.

I'm trying to setup my own bitcoin node, but I am not a tech guy. I've downloaded bitcoin core (3X), I've installed Tor , I've downloaded Sparrow but I'm struggling with the configuration. I'm a true bitcoin believer but it's discouraging not being able to fully participate because I don't have the tech skills. If we want mass adoption, user friendly is a must. I've watched a few tutorials but I can't find any for this latest version of bitcoin core. #introductions #nostr #bitcoin

You could make an argument that both have different use cases that would support one over the other. I think if you are going to have frequent unrelated transactions Cashu is good and if you have a targeted plan or collaboration fedimint may be more ideal
