“This technology is a huge enabler for properly priced liquidity on Layer 2 which leads to a new "risk free rate" in global capital markets.” is a quote from a tweet by Preston Pysh.
Yesterday I wrote a new Lightning Focus article for @BitcoinFocus including:
- A compelling proposal to make transactions more deterministic by making off-chain sending and receiving payments no longer dependent on fluctuating on-chain costs.
- A study by Anita Posch on how the various Lightning wallets perform under difficult internet conditions.
- DLC Markets (what Preston's quote is about), a new standard in derivatives trading with Bitcoin as the underlying infrastructure.

⚡️ For @BitcoinFocus I wrote a new #LightningFocus article!
Privacy problems with lightning addresses? Bastien Teinturier's from Acinq recent proposals offer solutions! And more about better lightning native invoice options with #BOLT12!
And learn more how a bitcoiner Hugo Ramos lost about 4 BTC due to a security problem in a plugin on his lightning node and about what Stable Channels are and how software developer Tony Klaus opened the first Stable Channel on bitcoin mainnet!
Lastly I will discuss a number of highlights from the #nostr world that are more than worth to try yourself! 😉

"There's nothing at the protocol level that prevents people to build apps just as good as Twitter or as Instagram." - William Casarin
@StefCTW and I talked to @jb55 about the Nostr, the Damus app and everyting decentralised!
We talked about:
🔸 The journey of William from a 10-year-old programming enthusiast to challenging the status quo with Nostr and Damus.
🔸 In-depth insights on how Nostr ensures censorship resistance and user sovereignty, standing in stark contrast to traditional social media.
🔸 The future of Nostr and how it could revolutionize not just social media but a plethora of online applications.
🔸 William's perspective on the growth and adoption of the Lightning Network, particularly through the integration of "Zaps" in Nostr.
Why This Matters:
🔥 Understand the critical role of technologies like Nostr in safeguarding free speech and user autonomy online.
🔥 Explore the synergies between Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, and Nostr, and how they're shaping a new digital landscape.

“I consider LN a done deal.” said the developer of the Small Bitcoin Wallet.
For @BitcoinFocus I wrote a new #LightningFocus including an interesting discussion between @ZEUS and @Mutiny Wallet about #hodl invoices and their impact on Lightning payments.
You can also read more about Universal Money Address, a service from David Marcus (Lightspark) and Bakkt, to receive and hold fiat money, while using the bitcoin lightning network as a payment rail. This also has the potential to spark discussion 😉
And why the #Bitcoin derivatives exchange Kollider stopped its activities.

Thanks man! 🙏🏻 And glad to hear!
There’s so much development still needed, but a lot of people with their heart on the right place, are working their ass of with lots of passion to make it work!

🎙️ In the latest Connect the World episode, together with @StefCTW, we talked again with Johns Beharry from BOLT.FUN, this time discussing #Nostr, zaps, a #decentralized future and the challanges of the internet!
🔍The push for decentralized alternatives like Nostr is evident. Nostr is emerging as a solution against undue censorship. #NostrRise
🚫The episode doesn't hold back criticisms. A lot of platforms, due to regulations, often suppress users, betraying the promise of an open web. #Nostr stands as a beacon against this. #WebFreedom
🗺️Johns emphasizes the value of exploration. With protocols like #Nostr on the rise, joining and exploring these pathways could be not just beneficial but also enjoyable! #ExploreDecentralization
⚙️We need more experimentation, more apps, more open solutions to gain traction. Johns also touches on the significance of conversing outside the #Bitcoin bubble. Engaging outside our comfort zone can lead to fruitful collaborations and a broader understanding.
💡It's a beautiful era of global connections and we're just at the beginning. The most important now is continued exploration! Join those @boltfun_btc
#Nostrasia #LegendsofLightning tournaments!🚀
And watch this episode!❤️
