 Ironic Zeus and this dropped the same day… the two paths forward 🛣️ 
 Wait, what, Zeus dropped?! Where have I been!

Thanks 
 Hilarious.  They’re training Karen’s. 
 😂 
 🤢 
 Hahaha fuck this shit. Nobody is going to use that 
 And so it begins. 
 The closed eco-system standard? 
 what i don't understand is, why can't we just use the existing LNURL spec @davidmarcus ? we're using it every day here on Nostr. it works quite well. there's no need to confuse people with a new standard.

 And even less if it's "compliant"  
 Because this is a spec for currency and KYC, LNURL doesn’t have that

 Or drop lnurl and switch to bolt12 (when we have an implementation that has it) 
 🥲 shitcoins on lightning are a bad idea. Change my mind. 
 Marcus was always a compliance cuck. Once a yuppie elite, always a yuppie elite. 
 David should know that open systems beat closed systems.

 
 It's all so tiresome 
 Lnurl is a mess. It enables great things but it's not worth it.  
 🤮 
 Get David on the pod  
 Nice I hate it. 
 Booooo 
 It was the obvious next-step for LNURL. 
 That's why real cypherpunks already moved onto Monero. Bitcoin is infested by KYC lovers, AML appologists and compliance guys.

If you value your freedom and privacy you have a choice. Either get rid of those type of false Bitcoiners or move over to the dark side. 
 Trojan horse this dude is 
 Take away their power! 
 Full government name may I add  
 privacy is a crime 
 you will own nothing and be happy 
 you are hiding unregistered ln addresses under the floorboards, aren't you?  
 David, did you get a new nsec?
