LNMarkets

had set the standard for Bitcoin trading. LN login, no KYC, simple UX... many good things.

Unfortunately they have just announced that they are becoming regulated and requiring ID.

"To keep building, LN Markets is becoming a regulated platform, so account verification is coming in early 2027."

Of course we all know that this is a very slippery slope. They will start asking for ID and selfie, but eventually they will be required to track and report all tx.

Money Printer go brrrr...

Saif is right, of course.

No matter how much we would like to see MoE taking off sooner, it will not happen until SoV is at least 30%.

However, that does not make circular economies, zaps and other MoE experiments worthless. The future is never evenly distributed and there are always communities of early adopters for every new tech.

Sure, the local café won't accept Bitcoin in person payments until at least 25% of its local clients want it... but if you are an online shop that can ship worldwide, you can get away with accepting Bitcoin payments even at 1% adoption and make it worth it. If your market niche has a higher than average Bitcoin penetration, it makes sense.

If the local Bitcoin meetup meets at your bar every week... it makes sense.

If you sell bitcoin related products, it makes sense.

If you live in a country with hyperinflation, it might make sense.

If you are the catering company at a Bitcoin conference, it makes sense.

If you are a streamer and 10% of your audience has Bitcoin, making it easy for them to zap you is a no brainer.

If you are in the tourism industry and you are dealing with international clients and currency conversions daily, it make sense.

If you are twitter/X and are trying to get your users to sign up to money services, but can only offer this product to 10% of your userbase because of local regulations, then zaps make sense.

I can think of 20 other examples of businesses that should be accepting Bitcoin as payment early.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) & Vaccines

Guillain-Barré syndrome, or GBS, was recently described as a rare side effect following receipt of adenovirus-based COVID-19 vaccines, such as the J&J/Janssen version. GBS has also been found to be a rare consequence of influenza vaccination.

Nasdaq

October was the peak. Confirmed.

AI stocks will not make new highs in the short term with legislative uncertainty.

Now the question is if it's just a temporary dip in the bubble, with a potential recovery in a few months... or if the bubble is popping.

I'm inclined to believe the latter, considering oil, interest rates and the leverage accumulated.

It began...

This seems to be already happening.

Otra vez.

Block Inc. owns Cash App with 57 million users. It owns Square with 4 million merchants.

Square merchants accept Bitcoin. Cash App users can buy, send and receive Bitcoin.

...and yet

does not know how to connect the two of them. How to make Cash App users spend sats at Square merchants.

Surely this type of marketing problem has been solved before...

I guess today's tweet from Spiral asking for ideas answers this question.

4 million merchants not seeing any spending.

I will zap all comments to this poll detailing how you spend bitcoin.

The bottleneck for Bitcoin payments is NOT in merchant acceptance. Merchants will happily accept to be paid in pokemon or bottlecaps if it means more clients and more sales.

The bottleneck is in the ability of people to #earn bitcoin.

South Africa's PicknPay supermarkets have been accepting Bitcoin payments for groceries for years. 1000+ locations

Why are cities in France burning?

1. Left narrative: welfare state cuts. -> False. France has huge social spending and it has continued to increase.

2. Right narrative: immigrants. -> False. Switzerland has more inmigrants and no riots.

3. Bitcoin narrative: inflation. -> True: stagnant wage growth has not kept up with rising cost of living.

4. Political reasons: upcoming elections. -> True: funding and organisation of groups that started the student protests was ideological. Timing of elections was a major factor.

5. Police reasons: No consequences for looting, vandalism, etc. -> Partly true. Low cost of vandalism facilitates violence in protests.

Other reasons?

Civilisations rise and fall. Sometimes their culture, language and heritage survives the fall... but more frequently it doesn't. History is littered with forgotten and buried cities, extinct languages and forgotten peoples.

100 years is a good run for an empire. 1000 years is a good run for a language. There are few exceptions. Time conquers all.

From a practical standpoint... if you can choose, you and your family will probably have a nicer life living in a rising polity than in a declining one. However it's not an ironclad rule, there can be plenty of violence and chaos on the way up too.

Not everything is cyclical. There is knowledge accumulation and capital accumulation. We can hope for progress... but it's far from being a straight line.

Making a movie:

AI makes all of these trivial. Forget casting, pre-production, financing, post-production, distribution...
