Show Notes

"We’re revolutionaries. There’s no reason to be coy about it. Our goal is to replace fiat with bitcoin. “Disruption” is almost a quaint term for a change of the magnitude we’re bringing about. We’re taking power from institutions and transferring it to individuals by giving them control of the value they generate in their lives.” - Roy Sheinfeld We are at a crossroads and Lightning has an extremely difficult and important task. Do we go with the Lightning expansionists, using this decentralized network to embed every single byte of data into our messages and routing them across our nodes to take all that is the internet and redesign it to work on Lightning? Or do we keep lighting simple, focused, and optimized for the best, most robust decentralized payments network in the world? Choosing the right path, by Roy Sheinfeld.  Drop some applause on the original at: https://medium.com/breez-technology/lightning-the-internet-choosing-the-right-path-bedfa6382316 For more digging into the philosophy & thinking behind this from the Guy's Take, here are the other episodes mentioned: Simon Morris: Lessons of Bittorrent https://bitcoinaudible.com/why-bittorrent-mattered-lessons-for-crypto-1-of-4/ Szabo: Minimizing Consumer Worry https://bitcoinaudible.com/estimating-and-minimizing-consumer-worry/ For the best products and services to get you started in Bitcoin, our sponsors are literally a handful of those that I use most in this space: • Get Bitcoin rewards on literally everything you buy with the Fold Card (20% discount) • Buy Bitcoin automatically and painlessly with SwanBitcoin • Keep your Bitcoin keys safe on the secure, open source BitBox02 (5% discount code GUY) • Get tickets to the biggest & most exciting Bitcoin conference in the world!
