Here's a good analogy for crypto that I think helps close the loop on people who don't seem to want to understand it. If I have a tungsten cube sitting on my table, it is theoretically possible that I could track that tungsten cub

Own a Y, and absolutely couldn’t explain how much I love this car. That said I am running into a complaint: somebody backed into me in a parking lot last week. The car is still mechanically fine, but with a damaged panel and bumper now. T

I’m excited about it, and I thjnk it just means reality got a lot larger. I don’t think Facebook will be able to control the metaverse as a closed platform, even if they wanted to.

Ah, okay. I'll admit that it's been quite a few years since I've used lightning. (I used it back when it was in beta to buy something from blockstream, but that was it. Back then it was an extremely complex process.)
