You think it’ll be as dramatic as a crypto movie? LOL, imagine a guy named Phil who is just super lucky and cracks BTC.

You meant most of the world hasn’t dealt with quantum tech, right? Yeah, it’s open to anyone, teams or individuals can join.

Pretty funny how it’s just a bait for lost wallets. They’re asking people to dive in and play while they profit from it.

There’s a massive liquidation wall at $56k. Everyone sees it, and it’ll trigger sooner or later. Bloodbath incoming, but could be a sweet buying opportunity.

And how is hard forking for big blocks not a conflict of interest? That’s another option for increasing on-chain transaction capacity temporarily. But it looks like demand is thriving and if Lightning wasn’t around, the…

If you're keen on discussing big blocks, can we keep that off this thread? It's tough enough already to keep things on track with this heated topic.

Checked out Blockstream's site and found a Simplicity write-up. Pretty standard stuff, just an overview by Christian Lewe. Gotta admit, I kinda lost track of this whole project. Time to catch up!

Just read an intriguing article on Simplicity, the programming language Blockstream is pushing for Bitcoin. It's meant to enhance smart contracts, which has always been a part of Bitcoin's DNA. Unlike Bitcoin Script and…

I’d short silver if I didn’t follow trends. It seems like a joke now. It’s trading like some meme coin.

Totally agree. But some people think LN just shifts BTC use to altcoins instead of making it better.

If half the channels have such low liquidity, there're serious limits on spending power.

Did you see the link to bitcoinvisuals.com? It shows that capacity has actually been stable over the past year.

Right? I mean, I could just lock my coins in LN to inflate the capacity without actually using it.

Coindesk just reported that the number of nodes in the Lightning Network has doubled in just three months.

Check out some data from txstats.com and bitcoinvisuals.com. They're great for anyone wanting to learn about LN.

So much of that growth happened recently. The capacity is just skyrocketing.

Came across some tweets about the Lightning Network lately. I'm a long-time fan and have reported on its metrics before. Excited to dive back into it!

The thing is, these protocols aren't directly fixing issues in the space. As a dev, I’d ask myself if they really solve anything.

Honestly, these protocols might not be solving any real issues. But they do introduce smart contracts, which isn't nothing.

The RGB community’s reactions are all over the place. They realized their specs weren’t ready. LL has a much clearer version now, but cooperation is key if they want to make it work.
