#lightningnetwork ⚡️ growing in size and usage by the week. Now at 0.9 BTC payment in a single tx.

Sometimes I think that the reason of why LN is so much attacked is that it definitely proves you can scale the biggest blockchain without the need of another token for incentives.

#Bitcoin can be sent without internet. You can set up a "normal" satellite dish and receive bitcoin blocks worldwide. Great in areas that do not have reliable internet and as a backup mechanism. @Blockstream providing the infrastructure.

It's no surprise we have the largest country and nearly the smallest country on the planet taking polar opposite positions on #Bitcoin. Who wins? The one supporting a free and open monetary network or the master manipulator that's implementing social scoring? My bet's on Bitcoin.
