Bitcoin is probably the worst choice you could make.
Public to the point of the transaction getting linked to your identity at some point, crazy inefficient in terms of energy use, very very slow and crazy expensive.
There are so many better ways to use crypto to pay for things and you decided to suggest bitcoin?
- littlecranky67 6mo agoThere are three older threads down into which I mention lightning - which preserves privacy and is still bitcoin -just a layer 2 network. Why is everybody on HN stuck on Bitcoin knowledge from 2021? In 2026 you can even send stablecoins - such as USDT - over Lightning backend by bitcoins taproot asset management protol - no other blockchain except bitcoin involved.
- subscribed 6mo agoYou said bitcoin, not lighting - you don't seriously expect me to trawl through all your posts in sibling threads to try to guess that you said one thing and meant another? And you seem to be really really convinced that bitcoin is the way, by going the quite a length and bringing some contraptions to say they're bitcoin-based solutions somewhat providing what other coins/network already offer - better. And concerning lightning, it only "preserves privacy" when you're extremely careful with how you use it: https://stateofsurveillance.org/articles/technical/lightning-network-privacy/ https://stateofsurveillance.org/articles/technical/lightning... Still the worst idea.
