“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

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.

"There's nothing at the protocol level that prevents people to build apps just as good as Twitter or as Instagram." - William Casarin

and I talked to

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.
