If you don’t understand these 3 points about the Lightning Network, you probably don’t understand Bitcoin at all 🧵⚡ 1. Using Lightning non-custodially means you control your private keys. 👉 "Not your keys, not your coins." But here’s the nuance: in Lightning, holding your keys also means holding an on-chain UTXO, the purest form of Bitcoin. Owning your own channel = owning your own UTXO. That means your funds cannot be censored or seized. For a deeper dive into Bitcoin’s fundamentals, here’s a great read:

What is the Lightning Network of Bitcoin?

Often misunderstood, the Lightning Network is a decentralized network built on top of the Bitcoin (BTC) protocol, enabling peer-to-peer payments th...

2. Lightning is more than a Bitcoin L2, it’s a universal language for apps and protocols using BTC. Since you can’t split one UTXO among millions, many users will rely on other tech (Liquid, Spark, Ark). But Lightning will still connect them all, allowing interoperability across the Bitcoin ecosystem. 3. Lightning isn’t just fast and cheap, it’s also private. When you pay over Lightning: - The sender of a tx is hidden - Their wallet balance stays unknown It’s one of the best ways to spend BTC privately while staying plugged into the network.

Michael Saylor says: "Trading Bitcoin is a sign of lesser intellect." We cannot agree less. Not because we don't believe in Bitcoin. But because we do, and we want to see it win. Saylor’s mindset = digital gold. Safe, secure, uncensurable. That works if your only goal is number-go-up (NGU). But here’s the problem ❌ If no one spends Bitcoin, it’s not money. And if it’s not money, it can’t change the world 🌐 The truth is: BTC adoption requires circulation. What can become money if it never moves? A Bitcoin economy needs liquidity, velocity, and real-world use 🔄 But maybe you don’t want to part with your precious stack of sats... That's where enters: Spend and Replace 🧠

BITCOIN IS FAILING BECAUSE IT HASN’T SUCCEEDED YET People on X have probably forgotten that Bitcoin is actual cash, mostly because many of us live in Western countries where currency stability is not that bad. Once the euro and the dollar start eroding faster, Bitcoin as an Electronic Cash System will come back. In the meantime, people will adopt BTC as a store of value (SoV) until they realise they are actually saving in the best currency.

If you live on Bitcoin, you become the stronger hands

Bitcoin gets value from 1 thing, and it’s not HODLing. Because if we only store it forever, it stops being a store of value 📉 Here’s an explanation why spending and selling Bitcoin is the key to make Bitcoin a store of value (SoV) AND a medium of exchange (MoE). Hodling Bitcoin builds conviction. It shows you believe in the long-term value of the asset. But if nobody spends it or sells it, nobody receives it ❌ And if nobody receives it, Bitcoin stops being a store of value. Circulation, not storage, is what proves Bitcoin works and keeps value. That’s why we broke down in detail why the “never sell” mantra can hurt both you and Bitcoin’s adoption, and how a simple strategy can fix it. You can read the full breakdown here: https://bringin.xyz/blog/learn/sell-spend-and-replace-bitcoin/ The strategy is called Spend and Replace 💱 - Spend Bitcoin on something you need. - Instantly rebuy the same amount with fiat. You keep your stack, but you also make Bitcoin circulate and help it get stronger 🦾 Every time you sell or spend Bitcoin, you prove its utility. Every time you replace what you spent, you keep your exposure and increase its demand. It’s how Bitcoin grows from cold storage 🥶 to real-world adoption 🌍 And with Bringin, you can do it without friction: - Swap BTC to euros via SEPA. - Pay with your sats using a virtual debit card. No custodians. No friction. Live on Bitcoin without losing your stack. Sign up here:
