Just wondering for the sake of it, if crypto trading was so profitable for so many influencers and YouTubers, why would they care so much about affiliate money…? Why take the trouble of creating, editing and uploading so many videos? Does this mean that if you see any YouTuber or crypto “celebrity” pumping a product or trying to make a buck out of content, that you should run away from them? ‘Cos why take so much trouble if you are already making money with your trading? Of course not everyone is a trader, but…

As a developer I am thinking about contributing to the Bitcoin and Lightning Network adoption by creating a concept app to buy beer using BTC. Payments could be handled via Open Node. Would you use such an app? Any thoughts?

For learning and later teaching purposes I am having  trouble to find a full video or gif example of BTC beings used for peer-to-peer transfers (not commerce) from (this is key) BTC wallet, to opening a LN channel with a peer using a Lightning Wallet, closing then channel, and then re-transdering to a purely BTC wallet (where most self custodians would like to have their BTC). Anyone willing to help?

I think that a full example like that will be of much use for later teaching (friends and fellow merchants) purposes. Thanks!

After getting the basics and after hodling for some time, and now willing to enter the space. I am a mobile/web developer (have been for the last 10 years) but I am having a hard time where would it be the best place to start.

On one hand I am attracted by the BTC ethos and ecosystem, on the other hand the ETH/Solidity space seems fun and more friendly for a standard fairly good web/mobile developer with expertise on Vuejs & Flutter techs (as an example).

I am afraid I would not be of much help in the BTC space…
Where would you start?
What are the pros, cons of each?

Consider optimizing for being and feeling the most useful and really contributing as at this moment I am not really optimizing for money or getting paid much as a web3/dev or anything alike.

Thanks for your help!

I was betting on the project to get 500 fiat loan against my bitcoin assets, unfortunately Celsius raised the limit of the minimum loan from 500 to 10.000! Which is insane for me. Is this correct? Anyone else having this limits? If so, what do you think is the strategy behind this, get rid of low-wage loands and therefore clients?
