Likely meant paid an LN Invoice using Cash App (USD) balance. I think even paying on-chain using Cash App (USD) balance is permitted.

But I've had LN invoices that I've tried to pay, using Cash App, that remained pending for a while -- from several minutes up to several hours before showing completed. And one trx where the transaction was pending until it got canceled some time later, like 24 hours or something like that. I"ve been using Cash App for years, and these are rare exceptions, definitely not the norm.

But they do happen. Not your keys ...

What CashApp has exclusively is the ability for me to deposit cash, with immediate availability -- There are dozens of places I can do this, within 10 miles of my work or home. Also, for direct deposit, Cash App, makes the funds available immediately, which is ~24 hours earlier than Strike does, in my instance with my employer.

Also, now that I can pay an LN invoice from my USD balance, I no longer need to buy BTC explicitly. Before I was only buying BTC in $200 or greater increments, so as to minimize (Cash App's excessive) fees. Now I'm done buying BTC and just spending USD to pay LN invoices. Same same, but different.

What Strike has exclusively is the ability for me to do an international remittance (Family, vendor, etc.) to recipients in over a dozen countries (via Strike's Send Money).

It's just like the BBC. Like half their stories they loop in why Climate Change is the cause, or will be the story someday.

I can say, with absolute certainty from first-hand experience, you can indeed be arrested for tresspassing on a Privately owned public space. Bank of America Plaza, a POPS in downtown L.A., where police arrested Occupy protesters and others who marched there and then refused to leave.

My introduction to Occupy (Occupy L.A.) was as to set up a wireless modem / router and wifi access point for their Media team, on the City Hall lawn (per request by the dude who had done the same for Occupy Wall Street in Zucatti Park). To troubleshoot why it would sporadically bog down (without much activity on the Wi-Fi side), I pitched a tent for a (planned) couple days to monitor.

I then stayed off-and-on for several weeks because I was intrigued by a number of things ... for example the Occupy Movement Hand Signals was something I thought might be adopted by the general public for all kinds of things -- political rallies, conference talks even, etc. (I was ignorant, yes).

I also spent a number of my BTC to purchase and operate an off-grid hotspot (solar, battery, wireless modem, wifi access point on portable mast) so that there was open wifi available to the protesters.

There was a literal soap box where anyone could step up and talk, so I gave a five-minute bitcoin talk. About a half dozen people listened, and afterward, two people approached me and asked a question or two. I handed each a Casascius 1 BTC coin (worth about $5 at the time) appreciating their interest in Bitcoin.

I then met former New Mexico governor and libertarian Gary Johnson, who at the time was running as a Republican for President. I asked him if he knew of bitcoin, he said he did and that he had some. I then gave him a Casascius as well. I presume that I likely am the first person ever to donate bitcoin to a presidential candidate.

There was a number of people, their flags with a red swipe, (and who copied the "Revolution" from Ron Paul's promoters). That was my introduction to hard-core leftist socialists -- previously thinking that socialism was best described by what Sweden had.

All in all, quite a learning experience.

Now I remember why I stopped watching B1M reports. They've warned on 72 of the last 0 climate change crisises that actually occurred or got anywhere near B1M 's apocalyptic predictions.

So I guess with an ecash mint, that makes four

I know SN isn't a "post to earn", even though you earn when you post ... but:

Which stackers do the best ROI on their investment in post fees? Same for comments, I guess.

Has there been info as to how the USG gained physical (or whatever you want to call it) control of the coins?

This ...

... is quite ambiguous.

Got my Heltec V3 a few weeks ago. One hop away and I'm hitting across the border, 30 miles away.

Bitcoin Global P2P just shut down too.

Wonder if there's new regulations somewhere or something impacting P2P trading.
