- 0:53potentially, some can affect lightning.
- 0:57We're also going to talk about where The majority of lightning
- 1:01nodes where their hosted and could that potentially make

- 2:24Anyways, let's start the show. Let's do this.
- 2:29Number two brought to you by novel.
- 2:31At this point, you should be running your own Bitcoin note.
- 2:34If you don't use your own Bitcoin node, you're trusting
- 2:37someone else's run your own version of Bitcoin core.
- 2:40The lightning Network, whirlpool, and Dojo all from the
- 2:43comfort of your own home. And if your digital Nomad, you
- 2:46have absolutely no excuse because now you can run a novel
- 2:50through a virtual private server.
- 2:51Visit nottle dot-eu today at the time of recording, the Bitcoin
- 2:56price is 19107. The eighth Bitcoin is under 20
- 3:00K. You know what that means?
- 3:03Pause the show right now, stop it.
- 3:05If you're on Twitter spaces, you don't have to stop at just open
- 3:08favorite stock in app. We recommend Swan Bitcoin, buy
- 3:11yourself some Bitcoin, buy yourself some cheap SATs
- 3:13anyways, SATs per dollar also known as Moscow.
- 3:15Time 5214, block height, 750 4820 reachable Bitcoin nodes,
- 3:23fourteen thousand, four hundred and forty eight blocks of The
- 3:26Happening 85,000. 80 having estimate April 22nd 2024 total
- 3:32lightning network capacity. I know this makes just for happy
- 3:364790 one Bitcoin almost at 5,000 Bitcoin.
- 3:41Let's let's F and go capacity value, 91 million, u.s. dollars,
- 3:46realize monetary inflation. Taking the US dollar.
- 3:50Absolutely to school one point seven eight percent market
- 3:53capitalization 367 billion dollars with Abby.
- 3:59Bitcoin is still a baby. Anyways, I wanted to react to
- 4:03this video that came out. Marty bent did a great job doing
- 4:08a little bit of commentary, every every kleptocrats and
- 4:12grubby politician. Fleecing the public with this
- 4:15line should be forced to resign. And of course, he's talking
- 4:19about this crazy, 60 Minutes, interview that Joe Biden did
- 4:24last night and take a look at his comments about about
- 4:29inflation. And before before I played, I
- 4:31want to preface this guys. Inflation is 100% caused by the
- 4:36government printing too much money.
- 4:38They add more money to the monetary Supply, and that makes
- 4:41you poor, and when you call them out on it, when you call out
- 4:45supposedly the most powerful man in the Free World and you want
- 4:48to see what his response is. It's absolutely disgusting.
- 4:52The question that I have for you, a non is, why did these
- 4:56people feel entitled to your work and your energy?
- 5:00I'm not talking about taxes taxes, the whole other thing?
- 5:03Taxes are at least transparent there, at least on top, right?
- 5:07You could say they're not fair. You can make good arguments
- 5:09against that but that's not what I'm talking about.
- 5:11I'm talking about the hidden tax of inflation and it should be
- 5:15making you ask a very important question.
- 5:18Why am I being forced to earn and saving the money that is
- 5:23designed to lose value? That is the most important
- 5:27question at hand, and we're going to talk a little bit about
- 5:30the report from the White House in a bit during the news
- 5:33section. And and they had the goal to
- 5:35name it the future of money. Anyways, let's check out the
- 5:38video. Let's see what Joe Biden has to
- 5:39say. As you know, last Tuesday, the
- 5:44annual inflation rate came in, at eight point, three percent
- 5:48the stock market. Nosedived, people are shocked by
- 5:53their grocery bills. What can you do better and
- 5:56faster. First of all, let's put this in
- 5:58perspective. Inflation rate.
- 6:00Month-to-month was just, uh, just an inch hardly at all.
- 6:04You're not arguing. That 8.3 is good news.
- 6:07No, I'm not saying is good news, but it was a point to where a
- 6:10point to before I It's not you write me.
- 6:12I couldn't make a sound like all of a sudden my God it went to
- 6:158.2%. It's been the highest inflation
- 6:18rate, mr. President and 40 years, I got
- 6:20that. But guess what?
- 6:22We are. We're in a position where for
- 6:24the last several months, it hasn't spiked.
- 6:26It is just barely has been basically.
- 6:28Even they had a got that so much that they passed a bill called
- 6:35the inflation reduction act. That you know what it did, it
- 6:38writ printed more money, they're spending More money.
- 6:42They're also sending billions of dollars to Ukraine.
- 6:45How do you get that when you continue to print more money and
- 6:49that devalues everybody else's and now the other comment, it's
- 6:52slow down. No no inflation compounds, just
- 6:56because the number goes from 8.9% 298.00 sorry 98.9 28.3 does
- 7:04it mean that you're it? All that means is that the value
- 7:07of your purchasing power continues to go down.
- 7:10I mean to Used to go down, but in a much slower fashion that's
- 7:14all it means. You're still losing purchasing
- 7:16power, it's just losing purchasing power, slightly
- 7:18slower, and that compounds over time, even if inflation comes
- 7:23back down to the goal of 2%. That doesn't mean that prices
- 7:29are going to go back to where they were before.
- 7:31That just means that prices aren't going to go higher as
- 7:35fast anymore. This is political money.
- 7:38This is what you have to deal with when you're dealing.
- 7:41Dealing with Fiat currencies it's an absolute joke.
- 7:46Opt-out opt out into Bitcoin. Something that can't be debased
- 7:50and because something a can't be easily confiscated, it's an
- 7:53absolute clown show. This is Con World, we're here.
- 7:56Anyways, just for what are your thoughts, brother?
- 7:59They had it like, the, the come on, man.
- 8:02I should really be turned around on mr.
- 8:05Joe Biden. Because yeah, that was a bit
- 8:08insulting. It really did not Bulls true
- 8:12experience of this. People are honestly stranded
- 8:16disrupt Society so I would really like to see a bit more
- 8:20humility for like recognizing where we're at.
- 8:27Yeah, I mean, but but why would they it?
- 8:29They're going to get paid. Regardless is why they don't
- 8:32care, right? They have a money printer.
- 8:35Why would they care? This, this doesn't affect them,
- 8:38right Opti? What are your thoughts brother?
- 8:41Well, I'm going to kind of just Echo what just for said like
- 8:43it's amazing to see the POTUS try to like do his PR Spin and
- 8:48make it seem like oh inflation isn't as bad.
- 8:51And it's like you said me cuz you know, like inflation
- 8:54compounds on itself and you guys are getting robbed.
- 8:56There. And, and for them to try to spin
- 8:58this in like, oh, it's not that bad.
- 9:00Like, come on, man. Like it's only an inch bro.
- 9:03Relax, like I am waiting for the, it's only an inch, bro.
- 9:06Relax memes because this is just absolutely ridiculous.
- 9:09We've been saying it for a while.
- 9:10We've been trying to counter the Fudd for four months.
- 9:13Now about the gas lighting in the pr spin from Legacy Media
- 9:17telling you that we are in a recession.
- 9:20That inflation isn't bad bro. And this is just why we're a
- 9:23Bitcoin and like, this is why we're a bit coin show and this
- 9:26is Is why we tell you guys every single day to opt out with
- 9:29Bitcoin take self custody of your Bitcoin fight debasement by
- 9:33using the tools at hand which is Bitcoin like opt out of the
- 9:37madness and and this stuff doesn't really affect you and
- 9:40then you go live your life, spread the sound of money gospel
- 9:43and realize that we are here to pull people out of the Matrix
- 9:46and wake them up. It's a dirty job but someone has
- 9:49to do it because they are lying to your face.
- 9:52And they are telling you to not believe your eyes and your ears
- 9:56and Not like this aforesaid, not believe the experiences that you
- 10:00are feeling for yourself like the brain washing out there is
- 10:03on on full Full like highest levels ever.
- 10:07And you know like I've been I've been anti-political guy for a
- 10:11long time but now that I watch this stuff it's absolutely
- 10:14amazing. That people still fall for these
- 10:16narratives from Legacy Media and it's just like simple economics
- 10:21shows you that you are being robbed and inflation is theft
- 10:24and and for them to try to spin this any other way.
- 10:26Way is asinine in my opinion. So use the tools.
- 10:30Make sure people know the tools that are available and we can
- 10:33opt out of this madness. Amen, to that.
- 10:36And another comment, right. Don't fall into the political
- 10:40trap. Okay, because both political
- 10:42parties specialize in dividing and conquering.
- 10:45So while you're blaming the Republicans or why you're
- 10:47blaming the Democrats, both parties are doing the same
- 10:50thing. They're printing money of which
- 10:53steals from you. You want to change the system.
- 10:56I'm the most powerful vote you can ever make is buying earning
- 11:01mining Bitcoin and taking that Bitcoin into self.
- 11:04Custody starve. The system.
- 11:07That's how we effectuate change. Anyways, let's get to the news.
- 11:14The Daily News brought to you by crypto.
- 11:17Cloaks.com they make the best 3D printed Bitcoin merge in the
- 11:21game from Custom node cases to keyring to the famous 3D printed
- 11:27Bitcoin grenade. Toy comes in any custom color,
- 11:30your heart desires you want to in Gold they make it in Gold but
- 11:33only on crypto, cloaks.com? Alright everybody.
- 11:37So I'm going to tie this in with lightning.
- 11:38We're going to take advantage of the fact that we have a
- 11:41lightning Guru on the show. Have Just Fur.
- 11:44But first, this is a continuation of what we've been
- 11:47reporting the last couple of days.
- 11:49And just, just a reminder, the White House on Friday, or last
- 11:54week, they declared war on bitcoin, they made it so and we
- 11:59covered this on Saturdays episode, they made it so that,
- 12:02hey, Bitcoin mining is allowed as long as it meets these crazy
- 12:07standards that no other industry is forced to adhere by So
- 12:13they're basically trying to Stamp Out the competition
- 12:16through regulation and at the same time, they're proposing
- 12:21Central Bank, digital currencies they mentioned, none of the
- 12:25cons, they mentioned the fact that Central Bank, digital
- 12:29currencies is going to give governments amount of control
- 12:33over their people that we've never seen before in human
- 12:36history. It would give any totalitarian
- 12:40that you'd ever think in history, a wet dream, thinking
- 12:43that they could control their people.
- 12:45This much, they never mentioned any of the cons, and they
- 12:49pitched it like, this is the end-all be-all and the research
- 12:53that they used for this was also bullshit.
- 12:56Now, today, I want to cover the US Department of Treasury
- 13:00report, and the name of the report, which I find absolutely
- 13:03hilarious is called the future of money and payments.
- 13:08Nowhere in this report is Bitcoin mentioned.
- 13:12What they did mention, however, is stable coins, Central Bank,
- 13:16digital currencies and the Legacy system but they did
- 13:21mention a lot of the problems that the Legacy system has
- 13:24whether that's remittances, whether that's instantanium
- 13:26payments, all of these things of which Bitcoin solves.
- 13:30But the reason they can't propose them and this is the
- 13:34idea that I've been trying to hammer into your guys's heads
- 13:36over the last three days. Is because Bitcoin
- 13:39disintermediated them, it takes away their power to control you.
- 13:45Because remember, at the end of the day, it's peer-to-peer
- 13:49versus the old system which is person to a third-party
- 13:53intermediary like they say. And then to another person with
- 13:56the government does, because there's only a handful of
- 13:58intermediaries is that they capture those intermediator
- 14:01intermediaries and they force them to become third arms of the
- 14:06government, right? And the The bank's we have the
- 14:08famous compliance Department in the back room that no one that
- 14:13you don't hear from right. And what's that famous saying?
- 14:16Write your money in a bank is a third is a two or three,
- 14:19multisig of which you have one key.
- 14:21The government has another key in the bank has another key.
- 14:24Anyways, so this is called the future of money.
- 14:27We don't have time to go through a lot of it.
- 14:28But I did take some screenshots of some of some interesting
- 14:31passages that I would love love to talk to you guys about.
- 14:34First one says, money serves Three core functions, a unit
- 14:37Account, a medium of exchange and a store of value.
- 14:41It could be public money, primary primary a liability of
- 14:44the central bank or private money.
- 14:46A liability of a private intermediary, price Payment
- 14:49Systems transfer money, customers and businesses use
- 14:52retail payment systems for transactions that typically
- 14:54involve smaller dollar amounts Banks and other financial
- 14:57institutions use wholesale payment systems that generally
- 15:01involve larger dollar amounts. I don't know about you guys
- 15:05maybe I didn't read that correctly but nowhere, did I
- 15:09mention that I see Bitcoin know where they're right and back to
- 15:15using these vocab terms of public-private?
- 15:20What do you think is more private?
- 15:22I'm just going to ask you guys. Do you get to decide?
- 15:27Do you are you able to mine US Dollars?
- 15:31Anyone could mine Bitcoins? The issuance of Bitcoin is
- 15:35public knowledge, right? The Ledger is public.
- 15:39Does the Dollar have those features?
- 15:43Just saying. And then the other component,
- 15:45right? Which is it's basically saying,
- 15:47this is how it works, you an intermediary is necessary.
- 15:51It's kind of weird man. It's kind of weird how they and
- 15:54I think that's the signal right now, right?
- 15:56Right here. They conveniently leave out,
- 16:00right? The new paradigm shift it's not
- 16:03mentioned, right? I think that's that's some
- 16:05signal. Anyways, moving on to this one
- 16:07and then I'll get your guys thoughts.
- 16:09The central bank is at the center of the monetary system
- 16:12reflecting this position. Central bank money tends to
- 16:15underpin interbank payments and serve as the bank backbone of
- 16:19the of the broader payment system.
- 16:21In addition, the Federal Reserve provides currency and Reserve,
- 16:24balances operates payment, systems and supervises sir.
- 16:27In intermediaries that issue, private money and make payments
- 16:31even as the money and payment system.
- 16:32Involves the central bank's role in final final settlement must
- 16:36be preserved to promote economic growth efficiency, and other
- 16:41public interest. The central bank's role and
- 16:45final settlement must be preserved to promote economic
- 16:49growth efficiency. And other public interest, I
- 16:53call bullshit, just refer, what are your thoughts?
- 16:59Yeah, they're doing a phenomenal job of it right now.
- 17:02So yeah if they just continue on their path I think
- 17:06decentralisation is in. Yeah.
- 17:10The presence of all of the Central Oils on there was a
- 17:14pretty key indicator and yeah Bitcoin has next to no downtime.
- 17:20So we'll continue operating no matter what mining blocks and
- 17:26processing transactions and doing all that.
- 17:28Final settlement without them after you.
- 17:33What are your thoughts? Brother on that last statement?
- 17:36Yeah, I mean first and foremost obviously opt out with Bitcoin I
- 17:39really like what BTC pinch said in the chat you said good get my
- 17:42name, get my monies name out of your mouth.
- 17:44So he's just countering the meme but I'm reminded of the Bitcoin
- 17:50white paper where it talks about minimizing trust and now we have
- 17:53those who were supposed to trust with our money.
- 17:55Keep telling us to trust us, bro.
- 17:57Come on. Bro, like we're trustworthy
- 17:59citizen, we're here to protect you.
- 18:01Like we are the official, you know, Ministry of Truth and we
- 18:04will tell you what where the future of money goes and one
- 18:10second my roommates dogs freaking out but and it just
- 18:14goes it just goes further to the point of you know like this is
- 18:17why we Bitcoin is because those people that we were supposed to
- 18:21trust have abused our trust to such an extent that they're just
- 18:24no longer trustworthy, you just opt out with Bitcoin and of
- 18:27course, they're never Going to mention Bitcoin.
- 18:29Once Nico told me the idea is like the the sauce is in the
- 18:34idea of them, not acknowledging Bitcoin.
- 18:37And once you realize the fact that they are omitting Bitcoin,
- 18:41it shows you where there where their biases.
- 18:44So of course they're not going to mention Bitcoin as the future
- 18:47of payment because it would expose the game.
- 18:51So it's just it's once you understand like what's going on,
- 18:55it's very obvious where their biases are and Why they don't
- 18:59compare Bitcoin in in a in the fairlight because Bitcoin
- 19:04exposes their incentives but furthermore Bitcoin exposes the
- 19:07problems of the Legacy system and it once you compare them
- 19:10back like side to side anyone with a free mind anyone that can
- 19:15think still will realize that Bitcoin is the better system.
- 19:18So amen. They got to hide Bitcoin.
- 19:20They got a hot dude. They don't even mention it.
- 19:22They have the gall to release a paper called the future of
- 19:26money. And then even mentioned They
- 19:28mentioned stable coins. Anyway, Central bank's Legacy
- 19:31Financial system providers and new entrants to financial
- 19:34services are creating new ways for payments across borders.
- 19:37The Federal Reserve has linked the u.s.
- 19:39ACH system with local systems. Local settlement systems in
- 19:42Canada, the Eurozone, the United Kingdom, Mexico Panama, allowing
- 19:46consumers, and businesses to transfer funds directly from
- 19:48u.s. bank accounts. The bank accounts in these
- 19:50countries Financial technology, Bitcoin, already fixes this, it
- 19:56does that better and cheaper. /. Right, look at what happened.
- 19:59With Jack mahler's. I mean, with the with the Jack
- 20:03mahler's initially going to El Salvador and then nine buchelli
- 20:05decide to do it with the chivo up and not even using Bitcoin,
- 20:08you just using Bitcoin the network, they're able to
- 20:11facilitate through the lightning Network.
- 20:14Facilitate cheap remittance payments Pennies on the dollar
- 20:19significantly cheaper than Western Union.
- 20:22So there's already a solution in place.
- 20:24The problem they don't, the reason they don't mention that.
- 20:28Is because it disintermediated them.
- 20:32So this is a government that supposed to is supposed to be by
- 20:36the people for the people. This is clearly a government by
- 20:39the government for the government and even if it means
- 20:42ignoring something that will make the lives of its citizens
- 20:46significantly better, they will do it with their eyes closed.
- 20:49And this is what we mean by Bitcoin exposes all incentives.
- 20:53So goes on to say Financial technology companies are
- 20:56increasingly entering the cross-border payments space,
- 20:58particularly for peer-to-peer payments for example.
- 21:02Which is kind of confusing if it's peer-to-peer.
- 21:04Why is there a technology company involved?
- 21:06For example, Financial technology companies are
- 21:08entering the remittance Market allowing consumer, consumers, to
- 21:10fund mobile while its own online, with their bank
- 21:13accounts, credit for debit cards and send money directly to
- 21:16foreign mobile wallets. However, these providers often
- 21:19must rely on a correspondent bank for settlement or provide
- 21:23on us settlements in which both legs of Foreign Exchange
- 21:26transactions are settled on the books of a single Bank.
- 21:30Incumbent money. Transfer transfer operators.
- 21:32Also provide similar online services, finally, even income.
- 21:36Even when available, not all commercial Banks, offer these
- 21:39services on competitive terms or at all to retail consumers.
- 21:42In addition that total number of active correspondent, banking
- 21:45relations and active corridors has declined over the past
- 21:48decade. That's the thing, Bitcoin fixes.
- 21:51This this paper was longer than the Bitcoin white paper anyways.
- 21:56Goes on to describe intermediaries intermediaries
- 21:58money and payments. Involved intermediaries
- 22:01intermediaries like Banks. And some non Banks issue private
- 22:04forms of money and provide access to payment services.
- 22:07Anyways, it goes on to say, this is what it says for recent
- 22:10Innovations, recent Innovations and money and payments recent
- 22:14years have seen Innovations and money us retail, and wholesale
- 22:17payments, and cross-border payments.
- 22:19Some of these in divisions, build additional user
- 22:21functionality on top of existing payment systems, but to
- 22:24Innovations are more fundamental and they and therefore, may have
- 22:28farther reaching implications instant payment systems and
- 22:31stable coins. Instant payment systems are
- 22:33important. Upgrade to the current payment
- 22:35system. Stable coins is spire.
- 22:37To be a new type of money supported by a novel payment
- 22:40technology. However, stable coins presented
- 22:42greater number of risks related to their financial and
- 22:44technological characteristics. Compared to instant payments and
- 22:47other forms of money and payments making it more
- 22:50difficult to predict the impact of stable coins on the future of
- 22:53money and payments recent Innovations and money and
- 22:56payments and Bitcoin is not mentioned what the fuck man?
- 23:01What the fuck. And I think that's the signal
- 23:04right there. Anyways.
- 23:06So this is what I Wanted to bring up today.
- 23:08This is the title that I made of the video.
- 23:10And this is I want to take advantage of just infer being
- 23:12here as well, right? So clearly, the US government is
- 23:15taking a more hostile stance towards any currency that they
- 23:18can't control. Whether that is stable coins,
- 23:21whether that is Bitcoin the pretending Bitcoin doesn't exist
- 23:24in a paper called the future of money, right?
- 23:26And at the same time, they're advertising Central Bank,
- 23:29digital currencies like the end-all be-all.
- 23:31And at the same time and other papers, they were hinting
- 23:34towards using regulations to go after After digital assets right
- 23:39now, one of the things that's very troubling just for, right?
- 23:42And we criticize etherium tremendously because of this,
- 23:45right? We make the argument birdie of
- 23:48aetherium nodes are run on Amazon web services, which
- 23:51Services would makes it prone to government capture, right?
- 23:54All the, all the government has to do is knock on the door of
- 23:56Amazon. Now, if you look at the data for
- 24:00the lightning nodes, it looks like we have a similar situation
- 24:03and I want to get your thoughts on that and brother, it is a
- 24:06little bit. Troubling.
- 24:08So a large percentage is on Google Cloud for our for our
- 24:13audio listeners, 27% of lightning close.
- 24:16Likely nodes are run on Google Cloud 24% of run on Amazon.
- 24:21Digitalocean seven point eight, two percent Alibaba or hens Ali
- 24:26Luna. So it just keeps on going down
- 24:28other. I'm assuming it's independent
- 24:31and dependent. Only 15% just for does that
- 24:34worry you at all, man? Because it worries me like if
- 24:37Are going to separate money from state to state.
- 24:39It's going to pull out all the stops and if more than 50% of
- 24:42lightning nodes are run on servers that are controlled by
- 24:47large corporations, doesn't that make it easy to capture and
- 24:51centered and set sensor for for government agencies?
- 24:58In a way, you know, I think we could actually lose half of the
- 25:04lightning Network and it would still function in much the same
- 25:07way. I mean, we've lost big nodes
- 25:09before that if have gone down. And I don't think anybody
- 25:13noticed zero fear outing when when he goes down it the
- 25:18payments still continue to flow and those those nodes are we
- 25:24build in redundancy in our payment now.
- 25:27Eric, it's actually quite stable, of course.
- 25:31Like we do have to be prepared for big government action
- 25:36saying, you know, you Cloud providers, you can't be doing
- 25:40this, shut it all down and, and then we'll have a system running
- 25:44on Raspberry Pi's and hobbyists which is like primarily like
- 25:49those are the people that make up the network right now, it's
- 25:52hobbyists and plead us and they make a functioning system that
- 25:56works. Across borders and that is
- 25:59highly Innovative. I understand that.
- 26:02But just for according to this data from mempool, dude more
- 26:07than more like 80% or run on server.
- 26:11So how could you make How could you make the argument that it's
- 26:16it's run by plebs if it clearly it shows that it's run by people
- 26:20are using Services servers to run lightning.
- 26:25Yeah it doesn't. I mean that yeah it's a mix you
- 26:32can have you can have them on cloud providers or Beyond
- 26:37hobbyist, Hardware. I mean either way the the system
- 26:41works and you would have to shut down not only Amazon but also
- 26:45Google cloud and also the individual internet service
- 26:48providers and that's a whole bunch of the folks are running
- 26:52on tour. So good luck finding them.
- 26:55The payment system will continue to work.
- 26:58So let's talk about hypotheticals right?
- 27:00Let's say hypothetically tomorrow, you know, whatever
- 27:03Administration by din, you know, Trump DeSantis whatever,
- 27:07whatever you think right is going to be in power, five years
- 27:09from now, they release an executive order and they say
- 27:13lightning nodes cannot be run on the servers and the only one,
- 27:18the only lighting nodes that keep going or individuals
- 27:20running in on Ravis Raspberry Pi's right?
- 27:22What would happen to the lightning Network?
- 27:27It would, I mean, you, you may have additional hops in a
- 27:32payment, the you may spend a little bit more in fees.
- 27:36It may take a different route, but overall, the payment, the,
- 27:41the payment is sourced routed. So, find a path to actually make
- 27:48that, that payment possible. And that may involve opening
- 27:53some new channels, which means like Your your coin on the
- 27:59lightning network is actually becomes more valuable and you
- 28:02could charge a higher price for it because now you're like the
- 28:06infrastructure provider of last year.
- 28:08So there's there's Market incentives for for this
- 28:14lightning Network you to operate and to respond to change.
- 28:20Couch. Oh we got a comment from the
- 28:22audience. They say mempool, stats only
- 28:24include clear, net nodes, not Tor nodes.
- 28:28Comment, just a, that's a great Point.
- 28:31Yeah, so I get all that's less than half of the nodes is the
- 28:38statistics were looking at art. Gotcha.
- 28:41So the majority of nodes are not listed on their not listed on
- 28:46mempool, is that correct? So it would just be on this pie
- 28:54chart statistics, showing the basically what the internet
- 28:59service provider is. It wouldn't be showing the Tor
- 29:03nodes because we know more than half of the nodes are running on
- 29:06tour. Do you see a future where the
- 29:10majority of nodes are not no longer run on servers and people
- 29:14start running those themselves? Why are why do so many people
- 29:17choose to run lightning nodes on servers?
- 29:24Like I think a little will choose the user experience.
- 29:28It's very easy to spin up a node and you wants, like, highly
- 29:33reliable. We're like a lot of the hobbyist
- 29:37node, they'll have local power. Outages yada yada where, which
- 29:44would stop the payment system from from working there.
- 29:48So it's been me and to Of the cloud provider who's like job.
- 29:54It is to keep node online even though it's a bit of like a
- 30:00devops learning excuse to actually upright these nodes
- 30:04you. So it's a huge learning
- 30:07opportunity. So I would encourage people to
- 30:11actually run home nodes. Even if it's on a Raspberry Pi,
- 30:15you can also run it on up top. But but yeah, give it.
- 30:19Give it a try. It.
- 30:22So is that, is that what you prefer is that?
- 30:25Is that what you'd like? You like to see more people
- 30:27running their own lightning nodes and but you are making the
- 30:32argument that that isn't 100% necessary.
- 30:38Yeah, I mean, I could be a bit nuanced here.
- 30:41Yeah. Like both Solutions are are
- 30:43fine. Of course, the the lightning
- 30:46Network needs something that is censorship, but the value of
- 30:51that censorship resistant liquid is, is fantastic.
- 30:56I mean, when things start to go wrong like that, Heinz that will
- 31:03be the infrastructure of Last Resort which would be an huge
- 31:07opportunity. For the those people that are
- 31:11the antifragile infrastructure. Gotcha.
- 31:17So this is not a this is not as big.
- 31:20It's not a it's not as big of a concern that some people voice
- 31:25it on the reason I'm asking these questions just for as I
- 31:28get this a lot right? This is one of the biggest
- 31:30criticisms that we have of etherium Rights like look the
- 31:33majority of etherium know, just kind of different because it is
- 31:35the base layer but the majority of etherium nodes are Ron on
- 31:39servers, right and knit at forget who posted it on Twitter
- 31:43but they said so is lightning. You know?
- 31:45So From your perspective, that's not that big of an issue because
- 31:49people just find another solution.
- 31:51They'll just reroute. Yeah, I mean we're close that
- 31:59close to 18,000 nodes work. So this is like hila highly
- 32:06decentralized and I think we're over all in very good shape.
- 32:13Very inexpensive to run a full node whereas that is Clea
- 32:17different story for aetherium. I don't know how many actual
- 32:21full nodes are running on etherium. yeah, it's definitely
- 32:27just a handful compared to bitcoin but anyways Opti Let's
- 32:32hit the culture, bro. Let's do this.
- 32:36The daily culture brought to you by Swan Bitcoin.com, Swan is the
- 32:41best way to build your Bitcoin stack with automated Bitcoin
- 32:44savings plans and instant purchases serving clients of any
- 32:48size from ten dollars to ten million dollars.
- 32:51We love Swan because they incentivize self custody and
- 32:55dollar cost averaging. What do you waiting for visit
- 32:58Swan Bitcoin.com today, I also want to give a very special
- 33:02shout-out to Pacific Bitcoins November 10th or the 11th Los
- 33:06California. It's a two-day experience
- 33:08leading the way to a bright orange future speaker list
- 33:12includes Cory could Michael sailor core eclipse in Lynn
- 33:16Alden, Jeff Booth, Dylan liquor, declare Pierre.
- 33:19Richard Mark Moss guys? Swan Alex gladstein Parker Lewis
- 33:22dr. Jeff Ross Opti and I are going
- 33:24to be doing a live show from Pacific Bitcoins going to be
- 33:27awesome. You could take advantage of the
- 33:29promo code simply to get a major discount on your Pacific Bitcoin
- 33:33tickets. All right.
- 33:35Just a fair. What's up, bro?
- 33:37First and foremost, guys, go use emboss.
- 33:40This is why we brought in just for, because he builds on
- 33:42lightning and there's been a lot of fun going on on on bitcoin,
- 33:46Twitter lately in regards to lightning and its adoption.
- 33:49And we've been covering articles on, on the show about lightning
- 33:53adoption. We had one from Bitcoin Magda
- 33:55state of lightning, one year after El Salvador's Bitcoin
- 33:57adoption, we covered nie digs in Wolf's clothing lightning
- 34:01accelerator project and we haven't fully covered this but I
- 34:05think we It has one of our pledge sites to learn Robo sets,
- 34:09a simple private lightning peer to peer exchange.
- 34:11The reason I bring all these topics up in these articles up
- 34:15is because as someone that's following this news, I see it a
- 34:18lot lightning is growing and I've been using lightning sense,
- 34:21what 2018 when we did the lightning trust chain and it's
- 34:25grown huge compared to what it used to be.
- 34:28I was trying to find this one meme of like, lightning in the
- 34:30past lightning in the future, but I couldn't find it.
- 34:32So I'm just going to show the Explorer a sink Explorer.
- 34:35Again a few more different lightning visualizers.
- 34:38Just to prove to you guys. That lightning is decentralized
- 34:42and it's huge and furthermore, I know, I know, I know we got
- 34:45called out in the chat by shift crypto because we used the men
- 34:49pulled out space lightning Explorer but I wanted to bring
- 34:52up this because we covered this a couple of weeks ago in regards
- 34:56to lightning network capacity going at all time.
- 34:59High and so there's a nice little visualizer here but
- 35:02anyways, just defer my question to you just to start this off.
- 35:06Is what would you say to the people out there that are saying
- 35:09that lightning is a failure in terms of adoption?
- 35:12Because only a certain small percentage of people are using
- 35:15lightning and there's someone that works with lightning.
- 35:17I know you have so little insights on this so we'll start
- 35:20with that. What is your counter to the idea
- 35:24that lightning is a failure? Well I guess we could just take
- 35:30a look at some of the Alternatives and let me tell you
- 35:34about the wonders of the Fiat system that is actually
- 35:37competing with lightning. You can go to Western Union
- 35:42during their business hours from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5
- 35:48p.m. so send money across borders with depending on.
- 35:58So Like staying aligned and bring on all your Fiat with you,
- 36:03but like dating is, is working, it works, it works quickly.
- 36:08You have instant settlement. It's it's fully peer-to-peer
- 36:14your system so you don't even need date the blockchain to make
- 36:18an individual thing. Transact action.
- 36:21It's really just talk to the other person that you share a
- 36:25Channel with. That's it's a very elegant
- 36:27system. Mmm, very efficient efficient.
- 36:32So, so I'm I'm super bullish, tan, lightning actually six
- 36:36being cheaper faster more decentralized.
- 36:39So Yeah, I just have to wait until the Fiats and doing some
- 36:47activation to actually maintain their standing as the as the
- 36:52Private Financial will settlement rate.
- 36:56I mean, I think that's what they were doing.
- 36:58They were announcing that that competition.
- 37:00They were announcing the FED. Now.
- 37:02Are you scared of fed now? Just a Yeah, quaking in my
- 37:13boots. Yeah, good.
- 37:16Good luck to him because I just want other node and we can make
- 37:20it through. Let's go.
- 37:23Okay, this next one just a fur. I can't really zoom into it too
- 37:28much because I don't know Niko's all these all Niko's fancy tools
- 37:32but we can see and we mentioned in the beginning in the number
- 37:34section, the lightning total capacity is around 4000 793, at
- 37:39least in public nodes. And this brings me to my next
- 37:43point or rather your next point because I know you're going to
- 37:47you're going to counter this perfect.
- 37:48But as we know, lightning is for small payments.
- 37:51Hence Know why there may not be as much lightning capacity in
- 37:56the public nodes compared to, you know, the shit coin.
- 37:59There's like there's more, there's more, there's more
- 38:01Bitcoin in rap, shit coins and there is on lightning.
- 38:04That means that laid lightning is a failure.
- 38:06So what would you say to people that use that as an idea that
- 38:11lightning is a failure because there's only, you know, a little
- 38:14under five thousand Bitcoin in capacity of the lightning
- 38:18Network at least, even public capacity.
- 38:20So I don't know if you want to jump into the public.
- 38:22Versus private little debate. But what would you say in
- 38:26regards to that just fur. Yeah, I would just look at our
- 38:30ability to settle payments lighting works.
- 38:35You know quite reliably it of course it has like a lot of
- 38:39growing to do. I mean yeah.
- 38:42It's like 60% of like lightning payments would fail like at this
- 38:48stage but we're watching it. It develop.
- 38:52And we do have like a whole lot of like efficiencies gains to to
- 38:56actually take Image of but overall let's see.
- 39:02So you can have a private channels in parallel with public
- 39:05channels. You could even use liquidity
- 39:08that is outside of kind of what the public sees.
- 39:13What is actively gossiped all over the lightning Network so
- 39:18that has like additional settlement capacity.
- 39:21But but when you look at like this 90 million dollar amount of
- 39:26capacity on the lightning Network as a whole.
- 39:28Well, that's like, an instant settlement number.
- 39:30Like that, the lightning Network itself, could instantly settle
- 39:3590 million dollars. So, that is like a huge, huge
- 39:41number and I don't know that anyone is actually going to be
- 39:47able to like settle that amount like, but but really you could
- 39:51just make it individual Bitcoin transaction.
- 39:53If you really have that much to play with, it wouldn't be the
- 39:56most efficient payment. But It's can split and go
- 39:59through several channels. Go through several nodes.
- 40:03Yeah you can you can pay it works.
- 40:08Yeah, and I'm gonna have to say Becca's tweet here for those
- 40:14listening cell. Phones were a failure because
- 40:15there was no Mass adoption in 1989.
- 40:18It sounds to me like this is what gesture for saying.
- 40:21Anyways, I we did this lightning Network easy to use a couple
- 40:26weeks ago with voltage. Edge.
- 40:28And during the space, we were kind of saying that, you know,
- 40:32I'm kind of waiting for lightning to become easier to
- 40:35use in the future, because there is a certain amount of a
- 40:39learning curve to use lightning. There is a, there is an amount
- 40:42of how do you say like interaction manual use of your
- 40:47lightning node and rebalancing and stuff.
- 40:50So are you bullish on Lightning becoming easier in the future?
- 40:54This just something that, you know, it's like using email,
- 40:57there's a certain, there's a certain Protocol that we are
- 40:59going to have to use and we're just going to have to get better
- 41:01at how to use these tools. So, is it getting easier?
- 41:05Just for our, we do, we have hope for the future of lightning
- 41:08becoming easier for the average person out there.
- 41:11It's gonna get much much easier right now.
- 41:14It's like, it involves a lot of command line tools, but like,
- 41:17one of the main things were working on it at am bosses just
- 41:21trying to make things like very attractive and also easy to use.
- 41:26So keep it sexy. And then yeah like ma'am Bulls
- 41:32just like just being able to buy and sell Channel like a huge
- 41:37eye-opener for a lot of people. The channels are actually get
- 41:41created like exactly where they're needed, where there's
- 41:44demand for it and people will pay for it.
- 41:48Beautiful. All right this next one we did
- 41:50talk about tour a little bit and people were saying it in the
- 41:53chat and I'm glad they brought it up, but this one's not really
- 41:56a Fudd Line. This is just more.
- 41:58I'm trying to get your opinion on what your thoughts are on
- 42:00this. And as you guys can see on the
- 42:02show and for those listening, it says, Tor nodes, make the
- 42:05network slow and unreliable, not Fudd.
- 42:07A real problem. Sincerely everyone was stuck.
- 42:09Hdl-c. So, just for what would you say
- 42:11in regards to tour and lightning and you know, maybe the
- 42:14possibility of a fix of this or is this just something that
- 42:18we're Have to deal with. There's a couple of like
- 42:22alternatives to tour but the fact that tour has been under
- 42:27like a consistent DDOS attack since June is a real problem.
- 42:32So I would, I would Point like tour needs some serious
- 42:37Solutions and I don't know that it will be the end-all be-all
- 42:41for for lightning nodes, where we may find some Alternatives.
- 42:47So a lot of people are running tunnel SATs now, which gives
- 42:50them Another alternative kind of like a design special for, for
- 42:56lightning nodes. So to be clear gesture for this
- 43:00is not a lightning problem, per se, this is a toilet problem.
- 43:06Yeah, yeah, this is this is a problem and people gonna make
- 43:11decisions about like whether they're going to run out or not.
- 43:15But but yeah, you can have much much better performing node not
- 43:21running on tour, beautiful. All right.
- 43:23Well, this morning, I wanted to ask people what is the current
- 43:26lightning flood needing to Bunkie and this is something
- 43:28that I've heard this morning. So maybe you've heard of this.
- 43:31Just for, maybe this is just someone trolling on.
- 43:35Like having everyone else. L, what's the current lightning
- 43:37Fudd needing to bunking and this guy goes, I've heard that almost
- 43:40all the activity on lightning is just channels, rebasing a, maybe
- 43:44means rebalancing with each other.
- 43:46So it could be interpreted as fake or manipulated activity and
- 43:49channel. Managers are getting a fee every
- 43:51time that money is transferred. How can one verify?
- 43:54This is this something you've heard about, just the fur is
- 43:57this guy trolling me on Twitter. Man, I love it when channels
- 44:03just like needlessly rebalance because I collect a fee every
- 44:08single time, and you could look at the same thing for Bitcoin
- 44:13blockchain. If you say, well, half of these
- 44:15transactions aren't real. These are spam transactions.
- 44:19Well, did they pay the fee? Like, if so, then it's not spam.
- 44:24It's an actual transaction and they're paying for it.
- 44:27They're paying the miners to actually process those
- 44:30transactions. So if they pay the fee, it's
- 44:32legit, whether it be a rebalance or not, maybe people shouldn't
- 44:38be rebalancing so much, but, but they are, and if they're paying
- 44:42the fee, like I don't care. That's great.
- 44:45Beautiful. I'm going to ask this question,
- 44:47that's in the chat is by shift crypto and they go.
- 44:49What about ltp just defer I t i TP TP or ltp.
- 44:58I think, you know, I'm pretty, I don't know, I don't know, enough
- 45:01to come on. Yeah.
- 45:06Well anyways, just for I love you, bro.
- 45:08I appreciate this and just to everyone out there, man.
- 45:12Maybe give some words of encouragement.
- 45:13Just for sure. They'd be building on lightning.
- 45:15Or should they go on to shit coin, land and play stupid
- 45:18games? Take your time, it's fine.
- 45:23Yeah, yeah. Don't need to compete with me to
- 45:25direct payments. Yeah, there's no need dignity
- 45:29and lightning just give up now. Yeah, there's nothing that we're
- 45:34building up. Please ignore that.
- 45:38That's AA. Really hard.
- 45:41You can learn a lot. Yeah, do do the income does the
- 45:47bullishness on Central Bank, digital currencies by the US
- 45:50government but you have your money on lightning or cbc's.
- 46:00Let's put the comedy series on Lightning.
- 46:02It would Taro throw another asset on there.
- 46:07We'll use the same settlement Network.
- 46:09It's /. Yeah, we you can add their shift
- 46:12coin to lightning that's coming soon.
- 46:16So yeah. Keep your keep the old for that.
- 46:19That's right. Did you hear that?
- 46:21Janet Yellen, put your slave money but your flavor on the
- 46:24lightning Network anyways Opti let's do the news, let's get to
- 46:28the meat. The daily meme review brought to
- 46:35you by B box to bitcoin, only additional Hardware wallet by
- 46:38shift crypto crypto like cryptography.
- 46:41It's secure, it's open source and it's so easy, your mom can
- 46:44set it up. Self custody is the revolution
- 46:48in the bit box. Makes it simple, do not leave
- 46:51your Bitcoin on an exchange order a bit box today.
- 46:56Alright guys, as you know, this is the mean review, this is your
- 46:59favorite part of the show. As Nico always, says, tweets are
- 47:03the bullets. But memes are the artillery and
- 47:05this information War, you guys are the Frontline soldiers
- 47:08continue to mean because our memes are better because we have
- 47:12truth. This is the way guys and of
- 47:15course put your mean review score in the chat while we
- 47:19covered the maybe do it on the last one and hopefully we won't
- 47:22have any more delays. This first meme.
- 47:25This one is so dear to my heart because this is why we do What
- 47:30we do every day. So shouts had the D Whitman.
- 47:33He goes toxic Bitcoin, Max. He's trying to protect people
- 47:37from scams. And I don't even think I need
- 47:39the audio here, but this is the way.
- 47:42Hopefully you guys can see this. Yeah, you guys get this.
- 47:45This is this is what it means. It in time.
- 47:48Little babies do not go over the edge and we get called toxic for

- 47:54Good stuff. Do you Whitman?
- 47:55This next one. Again this is for the new people
- 47:58out there that this is our first bear.
- 48:01And we just got to continue to give you guys the wisdom of
- 48:03continue to Stacks at the only way you lose in the game is if
- 48:06you stop buying Bitcoin, if you stop saving in Bitcoin and you
- 48:10sell that Bitcoin for Fiat. So here we got Bitcoin magazine,
- 48:14go, bear markets is when fortunes are made and we got
- 48:17that James Franco me and where he's got, he's gonna get hung in
- 48:20the news because first time, first time, this is why we do
- 48:24what we do. The next one is by Satoshi
- 48:26Nakamoto and I really love this one because I'm pretty sure this
- 48:30Means to everyone if they really go down the rabbit hole
- 48:33completely and it goes 7:10 p.m. you Google.
- 48:36Where does the government get its money?
- 48:38You go down the rabbit hole for 15 minutes 7:25 p.m. you can go.
- 48:41Where can I buy Bitcoin? Anyone that puts in some time
- 48:44into this and realize the game has to end up as a big corner.
- 48:48I am convinced of this like once you know the game, you do not go
- 48:52back anyway. Just next one.
- 48:54Let me get, let me restart this once once Tony's ghoster, and he

- 49:13skeleton of a blockchain is going to continue this.
