Thanks for the crash course. Timing was perfect.
once you have enough zappage sloshing around, remember to consider participating in the markets.
Bitcoin is useless if the bridge to fiat sways by the whims of speculators who see it all as a silly game; once people with limited resources use markets for hedging their perceived valuation, it matures alongside the rest of the human experiment.

Obviously, this had to happen right now.
I’m barely getting started with all this stuff. Yesterday I was still trying to figure out who does what between Coinos, NWC, Alby, Stacker News and YakiHonne.
I’d managed to get everything connected. With a bit of help from AI, I was following the steps, sort of understanding what I was doing… well, “sort of.”
Let’s say I’d just moved into the apartment. I was starting to figure out where the table was, where the chair was, where the kitchen was.
And this morning, someone turns the lights off.
Ouch. Little toe, straight into that fucking coffee table.
“This NWC connection has been retired.”
So I had to create a new connection, reconnect Alby, check Coinos, figure out why my 50 sats were still there, why my Nostr identity hadn’t moved an inch, and what had actually broken.
And funny enough, that little mess taught me way more than yesterday’s setup did.
It made me think of people using AI to code when they don’t actually know how to code. As long as everything works, you can easily feel like you understand it. It’s when something breaks that you find out how much you really understood.
I’m still a long way from being any kind of Lightning or NWC expert.
But at least today, I’ve got a slightly better idea where the table and the chair are.
