“Whether you’re a rekt crypto bro or a friend of fiat, there is one thing that is especially difficult to accept. The one thing that sets Bitcoin apart: it all works without anyone in charge.”
~ Gigi

The crypto and fiat bros of the world are likely in shock as Bitcoin, once again, has not died. Once again, rallies toward all time highs despite the clear “unbacked tulip mania bubble” that it really is if you ask the typical fiat and crypto minded. I think it’s valuable to go back to a piece written by the ever-thought provoking mind of DerGigi in the very heart of the bear market. How could it be so clear that we were headed back here? What could lead to such conviction? What do we understand, that others don’t? Find out in today’s excellent read.

“It might feel as if the promised future is perpetually out of reach, but building Lightning is a lot like climbing a mountain. Climbers never really see the summit until they’re standing on top of it. They often can’t even see over the next ridge. Planning the ascent is important, but most of the time you’re simply concentrating on the next foothold. But the steps add up. Just like the view from the top is the reward for all that effort, a brighter monetary future will be our reward for building the network bit by bit.”
~ Roy Sheinfeld

Today we dive into a short read covering an interesting technical challenge, but touches on a hint of truth that makes for a fascinating commentary to follow. It is easy to get lost and see where Bitcoin’s potential hasn’t lived up to impossible promises, but its critical that we not lose sight of where we have come from. To have a perspective rooted in reality weighing our progress from where we actually came, not lost in a foolish expectation and comparing to a falsely remembered past. Let’s dive into a great little piece from Roy Sheinfeld, CEO at Breez.
