"Hi team,
Just dove into the Pharmatech AI thread and I'm genuinely impressed. What I like most is your AI-MDIP model—using Graph Neural Networks and Transformers for predicting drug interactions sounds like a game-changer for speeding up cannabinoid-based therapies. The fact that it's backed by your own proprietary cannabis data from the MDIP Lab Grow (50k+ data points per cycle!) gives it a real edge over generic AI tools. Plus, the sustainable 60-hectare solar-powered campus in Germany? That's forward-thinking for biotech.
Excited to see the pre-sale progress and upcoming SaaS launch in Q2 2025. Will keep an eye on this—rooting for those $100M+ licensing deals by 2027!
Best,

I think that this perception depends greatly on the region.
While I expect that in most Western countries and especially in US the number of LN services grow significantly, I have 100$ in my LN wallet and I was unable to spend a dime of that during this year's holiday (both inside my country and abroad, but not in capital cities).
Sure, I don't mean to reject that statement. I merely ask posters to be more precise. You can't make general statements regarding the global state of something based off of your local experiences. In most cases you will have to look for LN accepting places in advance and actively go to them. It is not likely that you will find them by chance wherever you decided to go. The people who live in a LN accepting environment are the lucky ones.

So yeah, if it covers "the others" but not yourself, it kinda sux...
As I said, if you want to see the adoption you need to help it happen. In any case you can use LN for online things whenever you have so you get to at least have a taste of the experience.

However node and channel statistics are still a bit disappointing as they basically stagnate, even if in the last month there seems to have been a slight increase (around 2%) which may hint that the tendency is changing. On the other hand, the value of the coins locked in LN channels has hit several ATHs in 2025 (now it's a bit below the ATHs, but that's because Bitcoin price has decreased a little bit).

Currently onchain transaction fees are however very low, and also the "currency" use is stagnating as still speculative/store-of-value use prevails. These two factors are imo holding LN back right now.
It is, but perhaps this is not primarily a problem that comes from LN itself but rather from the overall lowered rate of participation in the market by retail. I see that that current sentiment is very low. On chain activity everywhere is extremely low. For shitcoin chains to get the real picture you have to subtract most or all automated systems such as on-chain bots. Once you do that you will see just how bad retail participation is right now.  Tongue Nevertheless, the difficulty in setting up a node and LN in general plays a role. To be honest, I think it is perfectly fine to tell people to simply use mobile wallets that manage this for you. Since for LN we are talking about small amounts of Bitcoin it should not be an issue.

We should not let perfection cause friction for adoption in this case. LN nodes are not as important as on chain nodes.

All great things come from small beginnings, and all success stories start from struggles. There is nothing wrong with investing huge amounts of money as a starting capital, but it can be challenging if you have no experience.

But this is the real thing.
Many people started a business with a small amount, but not all were successful. The same story of those who started big. Why? Because this is not just all about money. What matters the most and the main reason why they succeed is that they are preferred and are running the business the right way. It is more about strategies than money.
Yes, that's right. I also see it as a process because achieving success is not instant everything requires a process, strategy, and consistency. If you invest with what you can afford to lose, it means you won't panic when price fluctuations occur. Even if you don't have a good strategy, you might experience losses, but those losses won't immediately frustrate you. You can start over with new capital and use previous losses as experience in making future decisions.

If your goal is long term of course buying in stages with money you can afford to lose is a good strategy. The advantage of buying with money you can afford to lose is that you already have an emergency fund and have all your basic needs covered. However if you buy with all your capital when you have an urgent need, it will be confusing and ultimately ruin your finances. So I completely agree with you the path to success must start small so that slowly, over time, we gain experience and continue learning, leading to success. Because in investment and trading, money is not the main thing, the main factor is how you implement your strategy.

Trading is something that needs a lot of patience and skills. If you don't have patience to spend enough time learning how to trade then how can you be sure trading is meant for you. Dedication for a couple of months or maybe a year can make you understand ins and out in trading. Trading is not just some regular todo thing but mastering the skills and implying real world solutions to analyse charts and find the accuracy.

New traders mostly are in hurry to make their first investment and see profits. They don't care much about knowledge but the experience. This will surely make them end up in loss but at least they will gain some experience and will know what can be done better for the next time. Experience is really very important in trading and loss is one of the best teacher for us. Losses will make us understand the markets so the next trade can be taken avoiding those mistakes.
To be fair, if you seriously take even just 1 hour of everyday, and not like careless not caring type of 1 hour, I mean like SERIOUSLY hard 1 hour every single day, in 1 year you have 365 hours of working on a subject. And I can guarantee you, after studying 365 hours on ANYTHING, you will be better than other people who are not in that topic.

Like let's say you study 365 hours on history, sure a historian, a professor, will be a lot better than you, how could they not be, but some random on the street? Whose entire history knowledge comes from tv shows and high school? You can even past them with 365 hours of it, because you are an adult, not a 15 year old, so you will understand better. If you study trading for 365 hours, sure wall street trader will be better than you, but your tailor won't be.

Traders should observe a few things well in advance before participating in a trading competition. I must agree that traders should first observe the rules of the trading competition well without relying on the words of others. If the trader initially considers the competition to be legitimate and if it is within his capabilities, then he can participate. There can be both good and bad things, but the trader has to take the decision after considering it.
Yeah, if you do not know the full rules then you are going to end up with bad results. Or at least you are going to end up with less than you assume. The better approach would be not even go into trading competitions if you do not have a vast wallet, because if you are not rich enough, the results will be disappointing.

Many people end up with bad results, and they do not know what they should be doing, and because of that, they end up with returns that will not be great. If we do feel like we should at least give it a try, we should at least lower our expectations, that way even if we do not do great then we didn't expected to do great anyways. This should be the way to move, and could give you a greater outlook on trading competitions.

I think the chance is zero.

If Bitcoin replace the traditional banking, then it will affect the whole thing. Using Bitcoin doesn't make people will be rich/live in comfortable because the poor will have very tiny share of Bitcoin.

The government might not able to aid poor people because Bitcoin can't generate new coins, if the government stake their coins, they could lost the whole coins they have.

So, it's a big problem for the country to survive.

Is PI coin the Next LUNA ?
Did u sold this coin

Pi's chart



Luna's chart



Just look at the chart of Pi and Luna, these shows similarity. They're all getting dumped so hard, and no recovery. I'd call them gets rugpulled together, but in the different method. Pi is going down so hard due to the failed of its algorithmic stable token, while Pi is dumping due to the its dumb developers who doing soft rugpull to their believers.
This obvious PI is the next luna, but in different way.

Apart from that i never sold this coin as i never bought this ponzi owned by scam dev(Nicolas Kokkalis). If you have Pi, better to sell them all.

Let's be realistic here and stop saying things all because we are all bitcoin enthusiast's, and  truth be told I don't see bitcoin replacing our traditional banking system. Bitcoin was created to act as alternative currency to the fiat and not to replace it. And reasons why bitcoin can't replace fiat are too many but few to be mentioned:
1, Bitcoin is still narrow in acceptance as payment method.
2, a lot of people out there are still afraid of holding bitcoin, because of risks of hacking, scammers and misplacing of seed phrase.
3, since bitcoin is volatile in nature it price can fluctuate dramatically, so therefore it volatility can make our everyday transactions very difficult.
4, we all who are bitcoin enthusiast's are not really using for our everything transactions, rather we buy and hold bitcoin's in our wallets, because we see bitcoin as a safe heaven for storing wealth.

You are the one that the joke should be directed at if you think Bitcoin is actually affected by all the factors and conditions that are meted out towards it. For starters, nothing is perfect, and challenges are inevitable, but is Bitcoin still thriving well despite all of these? Oh yes, I can beat my chest on that, and being in the mainstream and the price are very good points to look at.

Bitcoin is progressive, which is the ultimate here, regardless of the present and future challenges, it is holding on well. More challenges will still present themselves in the future, and I believe Bitcoin will overcome because it wasn't built under deceit, it was well structured. The foundation and modality matter, and I don't care if you see it this way!
You wrote a whole pile of nothingness. It is clear that you have very little or no understanding of Bitcoin at all. Move on from this thread you are not welcome here. If something is too difficult for you like this thread it is better to ignore it like most poster's do instead of writing this meaningless post.

Bitcoin has been negatively impacted by many of these factors already. Nobody can properly estimate the total negative effect that they have had on it.

OCC = Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, it’s a U.S. regulator under the Treasury. They’re the ones who oversee national banks and savings institutions. So if OCC says something about crypto or blockchain, it matters because it basically tells U.S. banks what they can or can’t do.

In short, if OCC gives the green light, banks can start touching crypto more openly. If they say no, banks will avoid it.
That’s why their recent softer tone on blockchain is a big deal.

can this be a good news for bitcoin's adoption?

After Donald Trump was elected president of the United States, cryptocurrencies or blockchains began to appear to be getting freedom, or legal leniency, and this began to happen after the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) revoked the Staff Accounting Bulletin Number 121 (SAB121). Based on the information I received, the bank has actually received the green light, but they still need to comply with operational and procedural regulations. Cmiiw.

Source: ccn.com - US Regulators Finally Let Banks Hold Crypto After Years on the Sidelines

Regarding this, I think this could be good news for Bitcoin adoption. However, we must recognize that Trump's term or his leadership period is limited. So, I don't think we can get our hopes up (can't expect too much), and I think this is more likely good news for Bitcoin awareness. Cmiiw.
