 Did I blow some minds? Do people not understand that Cashu (the way it's used on Nostr) is just custodial lightning with some more privacy? Lol 
 Lmao 
 Isn't that what the whole Bitcoin is a shooting for more privacy? You make no sense hating on this. Stop hating on things you don't know about just for clout. 
 It’s privacy without self custody though. Perhaps some people didn’t know this 
 But everyone should know we dont hold no more than $4 on lightning hahaha they just need to do more reading  
 If it’s just for play around money, like a few thousand sats in a wallet for zaps, sure. I just hope some people don’t keep too much sats in this 
 Yeah, those people talking Yang yang. They think we keep a $100 in there.  no, it's a tool you get in. You paid a $100 privately and the other person should get right out. 
 Sure. I think some will still get rugged. Everyone keeps saying “not your keys” yet many still keep it on the exchanges. 
 It’s privacy without self custody though 
 Oops first one did work after all 
 Stop hating on things you don't understand just for clout. Isn't the issue with Bitcoin privacy from what I understand this is kinda solving it. But you're hating on it that doesn't mate sent, stop doing that for clout.

 some people are just clowns, bitcoin doesnt fix that. they are just minions of the author of confusion. 
 I see it as no different than changing fiat for Chuck-E-Cheese tokens.. there's definite use cases, but all of them rely on reputation and trust. In order to get to the "Don't trust, verify" paradigm, there's likely some sort of trustworthiness metric that will need to be developed.
