1k Great episode. I really appreciate your perspectives.
Its so important to keep people's feet on the ground in the "church of bitcoin", as the pie-in-the-sky thinking, built around a desire for a future utopia makes a lot of the people in this space dislocated from reality of the big bad world that exists. They're divorced from the fact that some dangerous motherfuckers are coming for them and their sovereignty, which makes them a danger to themselves and each other!

221 Great show @npub1qny3tkh0a… @npub1zswjq57t9…
Teasingly close to rolling this out for our community. Just hesitant on the lightning node resilience atm as I don't want that responsibility! Looked into setting #boltz for liquidity management but this gets above my pay grade too.
@npub126ntw5mne… setup was nice and easy.
Keep up the good work. I'm waiting with bated breath to press go on my federation.
🤘⚡🧡😎
