Lightning is the transport layer that connects everything. It moves bitcoin between the base layer and the Layer 3 systems. Cashu and Fedimint use Lightning for deposits/withdrawals while providing different custody models (single mint vs. distributed) and privacy guarantees (maximum anonymity vs. high privacy).

Thank you! 🙏

Why Your Kids Need to Understand AI (And Why This Book Finally Gets it Right) In a world drowning in AI hype and fearmongering, this book does something remarkable: it makes AI understandable, ethical, and actually exciting for the next generation. Let’s be honest—most AI books for young people fall into two camps: either they’re so technical that eyes glaze over by page three, or they’re so simplified that they’re basically useless. While most AI books start with Alan Turing, this one takes us back to the Golden Age of Islamic Civilisation (8th-14th centuries). We meet Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi—yes, the person who gave us the word “algorithm”—and Al-Jazari, who built sophisticated automatons centuries before modern robotics. This isn’t just interesting trivia. It’s a powerful reminder that innovation has always been global, collaborative, and built on diverse foundations. In an era where we’re racing to deploy AI everywhere, The Robots Are Alive! anchors the conversation in timeless ethical principles. Drawing from Islamic values—truthfulness (Sidq), justice (Adl), stewardship (Istikhlaf), and seeking benefit while avoiding harm—the authors create a moral framework that applies whether you’re Muslim or not. The message is clear: AI isn’t coming—it’s here. The question is whether our kids will shape it or be shaped by it. The kids reading this book today will be the ones deciding how AI integrates into society tomorrow. They’ll be the policymakers, the engineers, the ethicists, and the users. They need more than fear. They need more than hype. They need understanding, ethical grounding, and the confidence to engage with AI critically and creatively. The Robots Are Alive! delivers exactly that. The Robots Are Alive! Adam and Layla Demystify AI is available now. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or just someone who cares about the next generation’s relationship with technology—this is the book they need to read. Because the best way to prepare for the future is to understand it. https://open.substack.com/pub/blockchainology/p/why-your-kids-need-to-understand

I remember 2016 very well. We had the second halving that year, along with the Block size war and the hard fork the following year. Max Keiser was predicting $14k USD/BTC... I've been running lightning nodes since 2018. It's been an honour to 'protect and to serve'...
