🌍 State of Bitcoin
Instant, global, and (nearly) free Lightning Network payments are going mainstream to 100s of millions of users around the world thanks to integrations with Cash App ($SQ), Nubank ($NU), Coinbase ($COIN), and fintechs in dozens of countries
Lightning payments work easily in apps like Stacker News, Fountain, and Primal
Stablecoins are coming to Bitcoin/Lightning via Taproot Assets (among other solutions). It's live!
L402 is emerging as a standard for machine to machine Lightning payments. Imagine an autonomous agent paying for an API call on its own. It's live now!
Nostr has emerged as a permissionless, interoperable identity and data transport layer allowing users to bring their social graph and bitcoin lightning payments with them to hundreds of apps
eCash is booming with dozens of lightning native Chaumian ecash mints and wallets springing up online
Bitcoin core developments like BitVM have unlocked smart contracts without altering the base layer. Scaling solutions such as Ark, Lava, and rollup research are pushing the limits further
