Just like how English is the international language of business, Bitcoin's lightning network is how various layers and apps and products will ‘talk' to each other. Roy Sheinfeld, founder and CEO of Breez (@Breez_Tech) rejoins me to talk about updates in lightning and what's new with Breez SDK.  We discuss the various layers and ways of interacting with Bitcoin and lightning, using Liquid (@Liquid_BTC) with swaps, and Bitcoin as a medium of exchange.  Summary: In this conversation, Stephan and Roy discuss the current state of Bitcoin and Lightning. They explore the contrasting narratives of Lightning startups shutting down and new partnerships being formed. Roy emphasizes that Lightning is a manifestation of the payments use case of Bitcoin and that the majority of Bitcoin usage is still for trading and as an asset. He believes that the value proposition of Bitcoin lies in its potential as peer-to-peer electronic cash. They also discuss the role of custodial and non-custodial solutions, the regulatory landscape, and the control exerted by governments and private companies.  Roy argues that Lightning is the common language of the Bitcoin economy, enabling interoperability between different subnetworks and protocols. He highlights the importance of Lightning as a rail for communication and the incentives for moving Bitcoin within the Lightning network. Breez is working on integrating Lightning Network into existing applications to make Bitcoin more accessible and usable. They have developed the Breez SDK, which allows developers to easily integrate Lightning functionality into their apps.  Breez offers two implementations: Greenlight, which is a pure Lightning implementation, and Liquid, which is a nodeless implementation of Lightning using the Liquid sidechain. The goal is to provide a seamless user experience for Lightning transactions and make Bitcoin a common language for payments. Breez is also exploring hybrid solutions and partnerships to expand the adoption of Lightning. Key Takeaways: The majority of Bitcoin usage is currently for trading and as an asset, but the value proposition lies in its potential as peer-to-peer electronic cash. Lightning is the common language of the Bitcoin economy, enabling interoperability between different subnetworks and protocols. There is a need for both custodial and non-custodial solutions, with a growing focus on self-custodial options. The regulatory landscape and control exerted by governments and private companies pose challenges to the use of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. Incentives within the Lightning network encourage the movement of Bitcoin and the use of Lightning as a rail for communication.

"It might feel as if the promised future is perpetually out of reach, but building Lightning is a lot like climbing a mountain. Climbers never really see the summit until they're standing on top of it. They often can't even see over the next ridge. Planning the ascent is important, but most of the time you're simply concentrating on the next foothold. But the steps add up. Just like the view from the top is the reward for all that effort, a brighter monetary future will be our reward for building the network bit by bit." ~ Roy Sheinfeld Today we dive into a short read covering an interesting technical challenge, but touches on a hint of truth that makes for a fascinating commentary to follow. It is easy to get lost and see where Bitcoin's potential hasn't lived up to impossible promises, but its critical that we not lose sight of where we have come from. To have a perspective rooted in reality weighing our progress from where we actually came, not lost in a foolish expectation and comparing to a falsely remembered past.

"Permission can only be denied if it is requested. Direct, peer-to-peer interaction obviates permission and equalizes market power. Don't request permission to transact; transact. Don't tinker with the system; supersede it." — Roy Sheinfeld Today we dive into a great piece just dropped from Roy Shienfeld with a great way to think both about Bitcoin and lightning adoption by the mainstream, and also about the path and direction forward to bring the most utility to the most people. Don't build another lightning app, build apps, and attach them to lightning. This is much easier than most realize with the Breez SDK; no licenses, no custody, no maintaining wallet infrastructure, just implement and go. We win by putting this in developers hands.

"Permission can only be denied if it is requested. Direct, peer-to-peer interaction obviates permission and equalizes market power. Don't request permission to transact; transact. Don't tinker with the system; supersede it." — Roy Sheinfeld Today we dive into a great piece just dropped from Roy Shienfeld with a great way to think both about Bitcoin and lightning adoption by the mainstream, and also about the path and direction forward to bring the most utility to the most people. Don't build another lightning app, build apps, and attach them to lightning. This is much easier than most realize with the Breez SDK; no licenses, no custody, no maintaining wallet infrastructure, just implement and go. We win by putting this in developers hands.

von Roy Sheinfeld, Originaltitel: „Lightning for Everyone in Any App: Lightning as a Service via the Breez SDK“ „Dies ist das Ende von Lightning als Nischentechnologie und der Beginn von Lightning als (allgegenwärtiger) Service. In ein paar Jahren wird die Lightning-Funktionalität so allgegenwärtig sein, dass sie niemand mehr bemerkt, und sie wird so nützlich sein, dass niemand mehr ohne sie leben möchte. Wie Telefone. Wie Schuhe. Wie Beton. Wie das Alphabet.“ Die heute gelesene Ankündigung von Breez könnte immense Auswirkungen auf die Art, wie wir über das Lightning Network denken und mit ihm interagieren, haben. Das „Onboarding“ an Lightning war bislang einigermaßen aufwändig – mit Breez, und vor allem dem nun dafür veröffentlichten Entwickler-SDK, werden diese Schritte nahezu völlig unnötig, der Empfang von Zahlungen wird radikal vereinfacht und beschleunigt, und man braucht sich keine Gedanken mehr um das Hosting eines Lightning-Nodes mehr zu machen. Und es ermöglicht Entwicklern, Lightning rasch und einfach in ihre Projekte einzubinden. Alle weiterführenden Links zum SDK, Greenlight usw. findet ihr hier: https://www.bitcoinaudible.de/breez-sdk/ Value4Value! ;-) Wenn Dir dieser Podcast gefällt, dann unterstütze ihn bitte: Sats via Lightning senden [andere Optionen] – beachtet meinen Verweis auf den Bounty-Bewerb im Kommentar zu dieser Episode!

Troy Cross is a Professor of Philosopher and Fellow at BPI, & Shaun Connell is Executive VP of Power at Lancium & energy trading expert. In this interview, we discuss the evolution of the Bitcoin mining and energy debate: how Bitcoin mining has weathered the storm of FUD over its energy usage to become a tool that fixes an ever-increasing number of energy-related issues. - - - - Roy Sheinfeld, CEO of Breez, last week used the following analogy to highlight expanding knowledge of the Lightning Network's application: "The first industrial use of steam engines was to pump water out of mines, but nobody talks about that because the engines were stationary and hidden in the dark. Three generations later, inventors started adding wheels to the engines. Setting that power free and bringing it into the light made everyone take notice, and that's when steam changed everything." The same applies to the whole Bitcoin ecosystem, particularly in relation to Bitcoin mining. Since 2019, there has been a growing realisation that Bitcoin provides a multitude of benefits to producers, operators and consumers of energy. There are also an increasing number of ancillary applications being realised in other areas. So, is it time for Bitcoiners to become more emboldened in their advocacy of Bitcoin mining? There's an available body of evidence showing the important role that Bitcoin mining is playing in supporting Texas's energy grid. It is right to state that some of the resultant conclusions seem counterintuitive i.e. how can an energy user assist with energy supply? However, it merely takes an open mind, a willingness to question, and a capacity to learn, to realise that Bitcoin mining provides an important societal good. Paradigm shifts are always met with suspicion. The issue is we're on the right side of history. Therefore, should we use someone's views on Bitcoin mining as a test of their intelligence and humility? Is it time to be more assertive in responding to those who refuse to believe their eyes and ears? After all, they are the ones who refuse to be humble.

“Bitcoin's an intelligence test, but it's also an epistemic humility test. You don't have to know everything about Bitcoin, nobody knows everything about Bitcoin. The question is, do you pretend you know when you don't? And if you do you'll be exposed.”— Troy CrossTroy Cross is a Professor of Philosopher and Fellow at BPI, & Shaun Connell is Executive VP of Power at Lancium & energy trading expert.

"This is the end of Lightning as a niche technology and the beginning of Lightning as a (ubiquitous) Service.

"Only liquid, flowing capital generates a return. Unlike a bank account, capital on Lightning is productive when it is mobile, not at rest. That's why flow is so essential.

Today's guest on Closing the Loop is Roy Sheinfeld. Roy is the CEO and Co-Founder of Breez, a mobile app which aspires to be 'The interface of the peer to peer lightning economy'. Roy and his team have taken a nascent, though still largely intimidating technology, and abstracted away much of the complexity, so that the average user can begin to interact with it, and leverage the tremendous value which the lightning network increasingly represents. Podcasting 2.0, and the value for value model, are important focuses for us here at Closing the Loop, and Breez has been instrumental at making it easy for users to engage this emerging method of content consumption, and for that we're very grateful. For full disclosure, Seetee has been so impressed by what Roy and his team are doing, that we've recently made an investment in Breez, to facilitate the continuation of their amazing work.

"Many tellings of El Salvador's story have largely overlooked and understated the role of the Lightning Network. But make no mistake: any country could have adopted bitcoin five or eight years ago. The base layer hasn't changed much. The new ingredient, the innovation that has made this possible and is opening up all kinds of possibilities for the future, is Lightning.” - Roy Sheinfeld Today we dive back into Lightning in another excellent article from Breez Tech founder Roy Sheinfeld exploring how Lightning has brought us to today, and how to scale it to the entire world.
