Officially hit .05 BTC today

It took some time in a few alts, but I’m beginning to understand that Bitcoin is king. Not sure why it took me so long, and I had my doubts about scalability, but now everything seems so clear.

The lightning network has improved the speed of transactions by using off-network wallets signed by 2 separate parties.

El Salvador has accepted BTC as legal tender, and other countries will undoubtedly follow as inflation destroys their currencies.

Apps like Strike are making Bitcoin payments easy, and cash app and venmo are supporting Bitcoin payments.

Widespread adoption seems inevitable.

I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation .
