Oddbean new post about login | logout Wow. Elon Musk just said that he's only recently heard of the Lightning network and he's never used it.
Where did he say that? Hard to believe.
He's live in a Twitter Space with a bunch of Bitcoiners at the moment.
Nice I am actually listening to a different Twitter Spaces https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKrjQaMyAKX?s=20 I am surprised that Elon never heard of lightning from Michael Saylor or Cathy Woods.
Or bitcoin magazine.... https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/tesla-submits-disclosure-to-btcpay-server-leading-to-new-security-release
To be fair, I'm pretty sure Tesla didn't use lightning, but BTCpayServer is the OG Lightning wallet for me.
I think I heard him talk about LN a couple of times.
He removed it from Twitter, so he's had to have heard of it, but using it, maybe not?
Lol, jinx @nostr:nevent1qqswten3d0rwypeprn5k6mcyx240g9uj5puyrmdstj80u8dgcm0scqgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzqhyflt84tg0zk3x5d9lqnze56e3jlanxm84cr89gkfdv977twnwmqvzqqqqqqy9p0pf3
I call bullshit. Willful ignorance.
He also needs to learn about Bitcoin's clean energy usage.
Jinx! 🫂💜🤙🏻
Huh
progress, I guess?
Who’s Elon Musk?
A high profile shitcoiner.
Is he on shrooms again? No way he hasn’t heard of it.
Possible.
We need to fix that….demo time 🤙🏻
@jack could help out with that demo.
Shocking...
As someone that seems to be highly interested in payment systems, it is a bit shocking.
Seems clear he still can’t distinguish “crypto” from bitcoin.
He did mention that he still owns Dogecoin.
Preston weighs in on X and took the higher ground. Pysh is still the nicest guy in the space. “Be thoughtful and constructive. Go try running 7 ground breaking technology companies and also be an expert on something as insanely complex as the technical underpinnings of #Bitcoin . Let's embrace him and not punch him!”
Maybe he's just lying 🤷♀️
Well, he is running like five companies.
Lol nostr:nevent1qqstqjxqp9ad9p4jl908kx9d5z0hv9pzpdl7nr5mshp4l3d7znx8f7qpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyqlhwrt96wnkf2w9edgr4cfruchvwkv26q6asdhz4qg08pm6w3djgqcyqqqqqqgvde6r7
I think he’ll be getting one soon 💯
And Jack from @strike is on the call.
I was hoping Mallers would have spoken up a bit when this was mentioned 🥹
Elon is a psy-op
LOL Wait till someone tells him about Nostr. Hes gonna shit 😂
he knows already about it
I’m old enough to remember when Xwitter tried to ban nostr.
Sames.
my storage device is having issues source?
He tried to ban linking to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Nostr profiles in December 2023. Most of us are here because of that ban. He essentially said Nostr with 1,000 users is on the same playing field as FB with 2 billion users.
🤣🤣🤣🍿
What's that?
Wait until he finds out about fedimints 👀
He'll ask if you need a money transmitter license.
He’s full of shit. https://i.nostr.build/BVol.jpg
I don't believe him.. it's too sarcastic! 🎩 🧡 ⚡ 💜
The funniest thing about this? Dude paid $44 billion dollars for Twitter, and hasn't fully used every feature of the app he bought. nostr:nevent1qqstqjxqp9ad9p4jl908kx9d5z0hv9pzpdl7nr5mshp4l3d7znx8f7qpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzq0mhp4ja8fmy48zuk5p6uy37vtk8tx9dqdwcxm32sy8nsaa8gkeyqvzqqqqqqyjjns07
Bullshit. He knows about nostr and zaps.
They were actively banning people trying to poach Xers to Nostr
It’s funny how these tech CEOs act like the smartest people in the room until it doesn’t benefit them, then they turn dumb as rocks.
Just in case anyone still on twitter needs this... https://m.primal.net/HXTm.jpg
Your post is being talked about. Added to the https://nostraco.in/hot feed
He lied cos Elon is a slghtly indirect part of the power structure of our time, ie US govt, and Bitcoin cant be controlled. And Elon likes control. To admit to telling everyone about lightning would mean less control for him and his friends.
It's for sure not used much. I remember setting up my casa node for it years ago!
Did you get the dogelonmars drop? Elons space token? Elon is the biggest fucking scammer in the space.
"I am truly amazed time and time again by how little people understand Bitcoin and how little they care about it."
"Layer count depends on projected bandwidth & compute, both rising rapidly, which means single layer network [e.g. Bitcoin alone] can carry all human transactions in future imo," Musk said. That was from 2021. https://blockchain.news/news/elon-musk-lightning-network-needed-to-fix-scalability-problem-in-bitcoin-network
Wait 'til he finds out there are planets beyond Mars.
same. shill me the best wallet #LN nostr:note1kpyvqzt662rt97270vv2mgylwc2zyzmlax8fhpwrtlzmu9xvwnuqn7nhg9
