There is no singular evil cabal. Only a Conspiracy of Self-Interest playing out repeatedly ad nauseam throughout time. Perhaps Bitcoin can realign incentives in such a way that this law of human nature will serve society rather than degrade it.

Invisible Forces

The Conspiracy of Self-Interest

Is anybody doing the nostr over ham radio?

The @Wallet of Satoshi team found a way to give Lightning users the features and experience we desired. In order to provide that experience they had to make technical tradeoffs which introduced counter party and regulatory risks. But they set the bar for UX nonetheless. The Lightning protocol needs to evolve to a point where such tradeoffs aren’t necessary, and some really smart people are working hard to make that a reality. I’m a fan of this team. When things get sorted, I’ll gladly return. 🤜🤛

Coin Stories (a Bitcoin only podcast) is one of the best in the space imo. @nat brunell consistently brings it. Interesting guests. Thoughtful conversations and questions. I’m always happy to see a new episode drop.
