"I think the biggest advantage when we talk about privacy and Bitcoin is your ability to own your software, to run your own nodes. Because once you start outsourcing it, then you always compromise trust, sovereignty, and privacy implications. Don't think because you're using Lightning you're protected, or because you're using Bitcoin you're protected, or because even you're using Monero, you're protected. If you care about privacy, you need to understand what you're doing." ~ Roy Sheinfeld Listen to It's Time to Walk the Walk with @Roy on Bitcoin Audible, available on all major platforms: 🔗 Fountain: 🔗 Rumble: https://rumble.com/v74dx4s-chat-157-its-time-to-walk-the-walk-with-roy-sheinfeld.html 🔗 YouTube: #bitcoin #lightning #privacy

It has been nearly three years since Roy was on the show, and the landscape of Bitcoin scaling has completely transformed. We dive deep into the evolution of Lightning - not just as a network of nodes, but as a "common language" that ties together entirely new sub-networks. I honestly had my mind blown when Roy explained that Spark is actually based on state chains, and how this architecture finally solves the massive headache of receiving payments offline without the usual custodial trade-offs. We also get into the reality of vibe coding with AI and the necessity of stablecoins as a transition layer to hyperbitcoinization. Is the era of orange pilling effectively over? Are we finally entering the phase where we stop talking about utility and start manifesting it through seamless apps? This conversation is packed with technical revelations that made me rethink exactly how we win.

"Dy definition, inscriptions are an exploit. It's akin to SQL injection, in that you're doing something that it wasn't designed to do. ...I don't understand how people don't think it's obviously an exploit." ~ Praveen Listen to Simplifying Sovereignty with @Praveen Perera on Bitcoin Audible, available on all major platforms: 🔗 Fountain: 🔗 YouTube: 🔗 Rumble: https://rumble.com/v741eg0-chat-156-simplifying-sovereignty-with-praveen.html?e9s=src_v1_cbl%2Csrc_v1_ucp_a
“Your biggest enemy is yourself… your backup… your failure to follow your ritual. You ‘test’ a wallet, forget, and suddenly there’s $10,000 on it. For new people, solving 99% of the problem, even if 1% remains, is a huge leap forward.” - Guy Swann Listen to Simplifying Sovereignty with Praveen Perera on Bitcoin Audible, available on all major platforms: 🔗Fountain: 🔗YouTube: 🔗Rumble: https://rumble.com/v741eg0-chat-156-simplifying-sovereignty-with-praveen.html

“It’s scary to be a privacy developer these days… the legal risk is insane. Unless you live somewhere remote or protect your anonymity, it’s risky.
