Doesn't lightning fix this? A coin joined UTXO opens a channel and the sats can move freely. Maybe not in larger amounts.

I like that acinq won't close the channel if you haven't used it for a while. Also that its easy to restore a channel on another device.

Some of us didn't think we'd see fees this low ever again.
That's what it is for now. Everything has tradeoffs. People who want to put in $50 will have to start with custodial LN, liquid or an ecash/fedimint IOU. If they don't continue to stack, then they will stay there. Hopefully they'll learn the benefits of bitcoin and continue to stack towards selfsovereignty by either transferring that onchain in a larger UTXO, or into a self custodies LN channel for spending.
The stuff you argue about for Bitcoin is the same stuff your other block chains will need to deal with once they get significant adoption. Which is unlikely ever to happen.

2024-09-08 21:36:34

- reply

That example isn't unique to bitcoin alone. It applies to all KYC'd "crypto" including monero.
I mean, thats one of the reasons bitcoiners have this HODL culture. In most countries there IS a capital gains tax from spending bitcoin. So why would one spend it when they could spend their worse money first.
There's an argument that this kind of thing might be good as it shows why noKYC often comes at a premium but its worth it.

2024-09-08 12:44:39

- reply

Custodial LN is like leaving your bitcoin on an exchange. If someone is selling on darknet markets AND using custodial LN then they kinda have a death wish.
Onchain fees are 2-3 sats/vb at the moment. Anyone can open a self custodial channel and turn on MPP so that small denominations are getting routed around.
I think it would be naive to think they didn't have LN nodes up and running, but like I said, they're a black box. They make sh$t up like with the bitcoin fog guy and get away with it. Who knows what they really can or can't derive from the LN network.

2024-09-03 01:04:22

Is that LN? It would need to be settled in LN as we don't know what onchain fees are going to be at the time.

IDK about kycing the whole chain. My example is that you need everyone using Bitcoin to know the difference between address types. Like imagine I swap bitcoin for cash, wait a few days before reversing the transaction cause my trade partner doesn't know the difference between bc1q and bc1x.

This chart says otherwise.
How would they track the LN payments happening between opening and closing the channel? You could have channels open for years too.

Maybe as a classification. But there's a big difference between bitcoin and crypto. Thats what people mean when they say it.

2024-08-07 05:14:56

- reply

I see monero bugs talk about it. And I do believe that AI will make tracing users on the base layer easier for authorities, but also easier for users. This should simply drive more lightning adoption for everyday transactions and hopefully encourage more ordinary users to buy noKYC sats and conjoin.

I think lightning for everyday payments gives us "enough" privacy. If you are buying something illegal it might be better to trade some BTC for XMR for that trade at this point in time. I don't think it will work out well for monero in the long run. As Bitcoin adopts more privacy tools it won't make sense to hold anything else.
Just because BTC has become mainstream and there are a bunch of influencoor moon boiz, doesn't mean that bitcoin can't have cypher punks. Kinda like how fiat money has bank accounts yielding interest, it also has cash that you can transact privately p2p.
