I have waited a long time to have things moving this fast and a new hope is born.

The Long Form
In Feb I wrote about Fiat Monsters attacking hosted service providers.
And here I am this week writing about how I have new options for bitcoin lightning payments on WooCommerce and Shopify.
This week
Upgraded 1 site
Added bitcoin lightning to 2 sites
Tested 1 new service
And investigated other hosted services and I’m still keen to learn the dedicated node route.
So what happened? Well I guess people were working on other solutions in the background and some appear to be in grey areas for the time being. And they have surfaced without being exposed to the Fiat Monsters yet. Where there is demand, there will be supply.
What I find odd about it. Using bitcoin is not morally or ethically bad or wrong. But the resistance against it is high. To the point where people are doing “illegal things” to be able to do things legally. It’s stupid.
The authority is actually forcing people to look for alternatives to protect themselves while trying to complete morally and ethically good actions. And this is part of the game theory that I love. The harder they press evil against Bitcoin, the stronger it’s truth becomes.
And I’m impressed at how the average person is unaware of this, or decides to justify it in a way that makes them look stupid, at least to me.
So where is this rant going? Well, I’m impressed at how fast and quickly the space is evolving. The new service provider comes in, has a revenue share model that interests me, so I test it, find a few issues, they respond within hours, have an update out in less than 24 hours. WOW. I have literally waited years. And here we are.
Standing up an e-commerce store on open source software and accepting bitcoin lightning payments in less than 48 hours and taking some sizable income.
After being disheartened last week by vendors I thought would be better after having the inside lane and over 1 year to improve, I’m feeling a new found hope as I see hungry competition coming in to provide value-4-value.
Thanks for reading.
Peace and Bitcoin
