Case in point
I still haven't come across anywhere, or any reason, to buy goods with BTC. I look for things I need, not ways to spend. I have these beautiful apps showing me clearly how to buy bitcoin, but no one is giving me any reason to do it. What am I supposed to do with a satoshi? Groceries? Nope. Furniture? Nope. Housing? Nope. A T-shirt with some BTC logo on it? 🤨
The only reason I've ever used crypto is to buy DIY HRT and other drugs off the internet :)
And twenty bucks to the Chinese miners as a “transaction free”.
Lightning network, taproot, all that shit, just paper over the fact that Bitcoin cannot, by design, handle enough transaction volume to become a general purpose currency without reinventing a lot of mostly centralized payment infrastructure.
You can commit money to a payment channel with a third party to create a private ledger so the third party can perform payments in your name to someone in using their shared channel on their private ledger.
Motherfucker, that’s just a bank and two bank accounts with extra steps.
