Bitcoin AudibleRead_899 - USDT on Lightning: the Good, the Bad, and the Unknown"Now that USDT and Bitcoin are natively interoperable on lightning, the circle has gained tangents. With USDT on lightning, each party to a payment, the payer and the recipient, can choose whether to use Bitcoin or Tether on their own end, and neither depends on the other's decision. A customer can pay in Bitcoin and the merchant can receive USDT, or the customer can pay in USDT and the merchant can receive Bitcoin. Or they can both use the same asset, it doesn't matter. Once both assets are native to lightning, they become automatically, frictionlessly, interchangeable."~ Roy Sheinfeld

Planning the ascent is important, but most of the time you’re simply concentrating on the next foothold. But the steps add up.

It’s faster to implement (as Ross says, “It’s like one or two API calls to set up a node, one to send a payment and one to receive payment”), cheaper to use, legally less complicated (check your jurisdiction), more private, and the UX is on par with fiat for the user and even better for the developers." — Roy Sheinfeld...

Bitcoin is among the greatest wonders of the late-modern world, so Greg Foss is understandably very passionate about it. So passionate in fact, that he dropped 11 f-bombs in 31 seconds. Why is such a stalwart bitcoin proponent so concerned? Because two guys in cheap wizard costumes did a cringey Fortnite dance? Surely the stakes must be higher.
