"As the Web became much more complex, we now engage with multiple companies for each of those functions. Including all the writing, editing, commenting, revising, and so on, even a simple post like this one will involve the services of a few ISPs, a few email providers, a few cloud storage platforms, a few cloud text editors, a few image repositories, and who knows how many background services. And now it’s happening to Lightning. Like any social system, our network is constantly evolving, and it looks very different now compared to how it looked in the beginning. Activity related to Lightning is becoming more specialized, and that specialization is both a symptom of and catalyst for the growth of the network." - Roy Sheinfeld Lightning is maturing before our very eyes, and in the process the number and variety of services are exploding. With some major changes ahead and finally seeing the full potential to even change the client/server model on the internet itself, things will start moving very quickly. Bear markets are for building, and Lightning is where we should be focused. Don't miss another great piece from Roy Sheinfeld at Breez.

"They used to own everything, and in a way they still do; the media, the banks, the NGOs, the international organizations, and almost all the governments and corporations in the world. And with that, of course, they also own the armies, the loans, the money supply, the credit ratings, the narrative, the propaganda, the factories, the food supply; they control international trade and international law. But their most powerful weapon is the control of the “truth”." - Nayib Bukele Today we read and dive into a big picture of the perspective on El Salvador and their bitcoin "bet." The mainstream media is in lockstep telling us that it is a disaster, that they are ready to default, and their bet has resulting in declining credit worthiness and loss of financial stability.

Always. This is a threat not just to the way they do business, but in their minds it's threatening the game. But really what its threatening is their livelihoods, their jobs. It's threatening the way that they do things. And every time that happens, whether it's a government or a way of doing business or whatever it is... the people who are holding the reigns, have their hands on the switch... they go batshit crazy." - Moneyball Learn more about your ad choices.
