Dear #Australians under the influence of flipping #Rumble and #YouTube (read: 'Screw'-gle #ScrewTube),

If you and think you know what is going on in the world…

If you think gold is a good #storeOfValue, but you don't know about how the #UK has been stealing #Venezuala's gold, how gold is mined with child labour and toxic chemicals, how gold is seized, etc.

Then please do your damned homework!

@dsfgs This is your brain on twitterdon.
Anyway, monero means money.

@Zergling_man
Both bitcoin and monero are of great interest to us.

We have become interested in #LightningNetwork these days after learning that it uses #Tor to connect, and is capable of using multiple LightningNodes to do a payment, ie. the node that gives you the #satoshis might not be the node that actually initiated the payment. That is impressive.

We were against LN as Layer2 bitcoin at first but there are some great use-cases (see #fediMint).

@dsfgs Lightning is hilarious, in the sense of "imagine thinking throwing a patch on top will fix anything".
And then also the standard implementation sucks massive ass.

@Zergling_man

But it's not a patch. It's an entire separate layer with separate value and separate use cases.

It's like, TCP is not a patch on IP. The two work together, and they both do different things, just as lightning works with Bitcoin and does different things.
