Thought of the week from Marty Bent:
People severely discount the amount of utility a higher bitcoin price provides the Lightning Network. More value sent with less sats will do wonders for scaling and UX. A lot of people focused on where the puck is at the moment are going to be walking around with egg on their face.
Thought of the week from Matt Odell:
There is a massive amount of peer reviewed quality bitcoin resources available for free. Most content behind paywalls lack sufficient peer review; sometimes intentionally malicious. My favorite resources and tools are listed here: https://mattodell.keybase.pub/#other-bitcoin-resources.
