Remember when @cobie discovered the first use case for NFTs?
During the FTX scandal, users figured out they could sell NFTs on FTX's NFT marketplace and withdraw funds - bypassing the block on internal transfers.
Some of my takeaways from the discussion on Bitcoin adoption today at @BChainJungle
- The consensus was the future of Bitcoin adoption will be built on Lightning. This surprised me a bit.
- Lots of bullishness on @ArchNtwrk
- I couldn’t convince @peterktodd that this was the offchain “ETF” cycle. He sees self custodial Bitcoin continuing to gain traction. Let’s hope.
- I really liked @E_moonwatcher views on the users experience in wallets balancing fast payments while also encouraging self custodial Bitcoin.
- And following up on the users experience @piero_coen touched on how there is still a ton of building and awareness that needs to take place to grow the use of Bitcoin/Lighting.
Only problem I had was that we didn’t have more time. I appreciate you guys🙏🏻
The fork happened in October 2017, but the public availability and broader recognition of Bitcoin Gold as a separate cryptocurrency from Bitcoin when the cryptocurrency was released to the public and began trading on exchanges starting on November 12, 2017.
