Bitcoin, Personality And Development Part Two - Bitcoin Versus Nihilism
By Aleksandar Svetski The Bitcoin, personality and development series is back with its second chapter where, after exploring how the Bitcoin ideology can change our concepts of value, decisions and actions to transform our society and ourselves for the better because it invites for self-love and awareness, it now discusses the implications of the fiat standard and how, by building lies upon lies to distract us from the unpleasant truth, it has submerged our society into a nihilistic psychology.
In this article, Aleksandar Svetski, author of “The UnCommunist Manifesto”, founder of The Bitcoin Times and Host of The Wake Up Podcast, shares his opinion about the psychology that our society has developed due to a corrupted and nonfunctional global financial system. He writes about nihilism, or the feeling of hopelessness about the road ahead, progress, attention, distractions, focus and how Bitcoin can get us back into the right track. |

A Few Ways We Can Upgrade Lightning Network Payments Routing
By Shinobi Even though the lighting network is a well developed transaction solution running on top of the Bitcoin protocol that has already proven its value and functionality with a fast growing adoption benefiting several customers, vendors, service providers, exchanges and even entire countries like El Salvador, in order to become a protocol usable by the entire world, certain scaling improvements need to be considered.
The author of this article discusses some of the current limitations of the lightning network and proposes some enhancements that could bring scalability so that the protocol can work worldwide. Shinobi writes about: - Opening and closing on-chain channels at a time
- Hash Time Locked Contract (HTLC)
- Fees
- StateChains to transfer ownership of a whole channel off-chain
- Sidechains to implement arbitrary rules
- Credit relationships
- A proposal for a whole new construct

The term "Bitcoin Maximalist" was coined to describe the people who believe Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that is worth anything, and has been used in a derogative way, for not being "open minded".
The truth is that there are more than 10,000 altcoins from which most of them are blatantly scams, that it is basically ridiculous to speculate in that space, if 99% have a guaranteed failure.
Also, digital scarcity can only be invented once.
Hence, bitcoin is the only option.
