I don't think we do anymore because it's a different ball game now.
Corporations and governments are begining to buy bitcoin and not junk cryptos. Doge might make a cute name for a new government agency and Elon might talk about it, but no companies in the S&P500 have dogecoin in their corporate treasuries or if they do, nobody cares.
No CEO's are issuing billions of dollars worth of bonds to buy junk cryptos. Those are the facts. Bitcoin is a 2 trillion dollar asset. Apple is like 3 trillion. Nobody wants to give thier grandchildren shibu whatever.

I know it's bizzare. People at work made fun of me and wanted me to shut up in 2015. The head of IT thought I was buying drugs. I didn't do illegal drugs. I listened to economics podcasts, but a guy I worked with used bitcoin to buy cocaine. 🤣
It's different now. People take you seriously. It's on CNBC. It's in corporate treasuries. You can buy over a dozen ETF's, there's a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. I can pay my credit cards and buy gold jewlery with it.
#Bitcoin is so money and you don't even know it.

I once paid for a film with #bitcoin on the lightning network and watched it on the TV in my living room.
I don't really have a strong opinion on the tarrifs, but I like how it's possible for indie film makers to just sell their films online for sats over the lightning network.
You could sell a foriegn movie for 21,000 sats.
10,500 sats zapped to the filmmaker
10,500 sats zapped to the US SBR.
Minus fees of course.
As a thought experiment, what happens if the foriegn film maker decides to keep all 21k sats?
Does the United States ban the film?
Does that make bittorrent great again?

If Block and Cash App had vanity addresses, it would make the verification even more robust.
I also think it would be silly for the Cash App to have a lightning address that's not at a cash app URL, but that's somewhat because I want every user on the Cash App to have a lightning address.
