I've decided to do a daily tweet throughout 2020 with something I've learned about Bitcoin. Hopefully come Dec 31st I'll have a juicy thread that I can look back on realise how much I've learned.
They likely wont follow any specific theme but will all be Bitcoin related. Where possible I will reference who/where I learned the info from

Long Reads Sunday #37.
Some weeks, LRS is aaaaall news. This week, however, the crypto community came *hard* with research, analysis, and debate so thoughtful you’ll hope the bear market never ends. 🔥
Carve out some *serious* time for this. Thread👇

2/ On the topic of the bear market, one of the commonly held sensibilities of the past year is that while users might not be flocking to crypto, developers are. @cburniske argues here that it’s because “can’t be evil” matters more to them.
3/ Turns out, this sensibility about devs is correct. According to some amazing new research from @ElectricCapital, the number of devs working on public coins has doubled in 2 years - more than 4k devs contribute code to 2.8k projects.
Currently Bitcoin processes over a billion dollars per day. Press is obsessed with txns/second but overall value moved is a better market

You don't really need to know anything to start using Bitcoin, you should just buy $20 worth (not your life savings) and start playing with it. Using and interacting with Bitcoin is the best way to learn.
The hardest thing for Merchants using Bitcoin is price volatility. Another big challenge is goat on ramps, but there is excitement from grayish industries like marijuana for a solution that can't get shut down arbitrarily.

After having fun with @LN_Pizza, we played around with @lightning node. First of all, thanks to @CasaHODL for donating a node to @MITBitcoinClub. We will be *raffling* the second node to Expo attendees. Get excited! #MITBitcoinExpo mitbitcoinexpo.org
Here is a step by step guide for whoever wins the node!
Open the beautiful white box and it comes with an AC power supply & 3 international adapters, an ethernet cable, a cable for the hard drive. (Not @ProfFeynman book unfortunately, apologies for the bad photo)

The next few steps are well described in the Casa instruction guide
1. Plug the hard drive adapter cable into your Casa node
2. Plug the ethernet cable into your Casa node and Wi-Fi router
3. Plug the power cable
4. Wait for a few minutes impatiently
