Internet friends, I’m hosting another Programming Lightning alpha workshop at the stunning @PresidioBitcoin later this month.
If you’re interested in learning about Lightning and providing feedback to make the final version of this course unfathomably beautiful, please fill out the form below.
This course is a hands-on, in-depth introduction to Lightning. We’ll start with the basics (output scripts, timelocks, mempool policy) and build our way to the famous HTLC.

When bitcoin hits $1 million, investors are going to look back and wonder how they missed such obvious signs, including:
>>The once-and-future President of the United States keynoting the Bitcoin Conference
>> BlackRock recommending a 2% allocation to bitcoin in portfolios
>> Bitcoin ETFs being the most successful ETF launches of all time by a factor of 6X
>> Investors like Ray Dalio saying you should own bitcoin.
Incredible investments always look obvious in hindsight. Bitcoin is screaming right now for people to pay attention.

It is objectively hilarious that a bunch of terminally online kids have outperformed professional hedge fund managers for a decade by simply buying imaginary internet coins.

Remember this past June, when a call-driven gamma squeeze in GME was extinguished by the company suddenly issuing 75 million additional shares of stock, causing a complete halt to the upward squeeze?
Right. There is no way to ‘issue additional shares’ of #Bitcoin. There will be no halting gamma squeezes. Buckle in for Bitcoin options.

Programming is changing so fast... I'm trying VS Code Cursor + Sonnet 3.5 instead of GitHub Copilot again and I think it's now a net win. Just empirically, over the last few days most of my "programming" is now writing English (prompting and then reviewing and editing the generated diffs), and doing a bit of "half-coding" where you write the first chunk of the code you'd like, maybe comment it a bit so the LLM knows what the plan is, and then tab tab tab through completions. Sometimes you get a 100-line diff to your code that nails it, which could have taken 10+ minutes before.
I still don't think I got sufficiently used to all the features. It's a bit like learning to code all over again but I basically can't imagine going back to "unassisted" coding at this point, which was the only possibility just ~3 years ago.
