    Five years ago, I shared an article to r/silkroad urging people to buy Bitcoin despite the price doubling after the Cyprus bailout. The price quoted in the article? $88.... I never got around to buying any.

    Are we ready to drop the "Bitcoin is a fiat investment" narrative and get on with the revolution yet?

    Posted: 03 Jun 2018 09:24 AM PDT

    I may just be talking for myself here, but feel like we Bitcoiners are starting to wake up from this bizarre narrative (THEIR Narrative, and we all know who THEY are) that Bitcoin is some kind of digital asset 'investment' made in fiat to buy and sell (hopefully) in return for fiat profits.

    It seems like the shortest time ago, Bitcoin was all about a peaceful silent revolution where, by simply buying what we could afford to lose and encouraging others to do the same and HODLing, we had a chance - maybe the only chance in human history - to remove the power of a select few to create money out of thin air to lord it over all of us and throw endless fake wars with it.

    Then suddenly, we started 'getting rich', in fiat terms of course (our meager Bitcoin HODLings staying the same).

    We got drunk on the euphoria. 'Real traders' with suits, the talking heads, the IMF, the rothschildes for god's sake - everyone in fact - raving on about the ROI of Bitcoin 'investments'. TA, buy low sell high, price predictions, lambos etc dominated our feeds and our thoughts.

    We were duped.

    THEY (and again, we know who THEY are) fooled us into viewing Bitcoin not as the revolutionary leaderless, censorship/gov resistant, borderless, permissionless and transparent form of exchange this world has NEVER had, but rather just another thing to buy with substanceless, permissioned fake fiat currency to 'get rich'.

    In short, we all, bitcoiners and nocoiners alike, viewed the whole phenomena from the perspective THEY decided for us.

    Not the perspective we were employing at the time - our perspective, our narrative. We allowed, in our own hearts and minds, OUR narrative to be replaced.

    Then came the divide and conquer - the apparent 'scaling debate'. It took us by surprise. We hurried to study up on it (some more than others) and consequently chose 'our team' without ever realizing it was THEIR idea, this debate.

    Their 'agreements', their fork, their version of Bitcoin ensued. We got sucked into battling with the gullible few who fell for it and who consequently (and understandably) dug in their heals to defend their erroneous decisions. We got side tracked, again, inTHEIR narrative. It bought them a lot of time and strengthened their successful narrative that made us view this phenomena as a fiat 'investment'.

    Guess what, we are still standing, Bitcoin, the money badger don't care, it's still moving forward. When will we ??

    Are we ready to drop THEIR narrative, THEIR perspective and get on with the revolution yet???

    Our children, grand children etc are still depending on us.

    Has anyone paid with lightning without opening a channel directly to the shop?

    Posted: 04 Jun 2018 12:33 AM PDT

    Hey guys,

    I was trying to buy a gamecode on www.joltfun.com with lightning but I always get a routing error. I specifically don't want to open a channel to the shop directly because that defeats the purpose of LN - If I open a direct channel I can pay directly with BTC anyway.

    I want to test LN, so I downloaded Eclair Wallet for Android and opened a channel with 0.0013 BTC to the www.rompert.com node because I saw in the lightning node explorer that there is an open channel between the rompert node and the joltfun node. The rompert node is one of the biggest nodes and looks like a good choice. The channel between me and rompert is funded with 0.0013 BTC and the channel between rompert and joltfun is funded with 0.01 BTC, so about ten times more than my channel. The price of the gamecode I want to buy is about 0.001 BTC, so slightly lower than my channel funding. My channel is online.

    When I try to buy the code in the shop, Eclair immediately tells me that payment has failed because there was no route/channel to the shop. But I opened the channel to rompert node which has a channel to joltfun and that should be enough.

    Why does it not work? It's basically the simplest use of the LN network but if that does not even work, I am not very confident in the tech I must say....
