LIGHTNING + TWITTER

Twitter Product Lead Confirms Bitcoin Lightning Beta Test

By Alex McShane


There has been ongoing rumors of an integration of Bitcoin's Lightning Network, starting with a thread from Jack Dorsey, and later on distributed via a leaked image of a beta interface for the planned service from the mobile developer Alessandro Paluzzi. It was all confirmed to be true by the Twitter product lead, Kayvon Beykpour, though there has not been an official release.

The integration seems to allow tipping other users via the Lightning Network. According to the images, Twitter will be using Strike's technology in order to produce invoices.

While this could be a let down for so many Twitter users, as they may not have access to strike in their jurisdiction, or do not like the idea of a closed source KYC product, it is indeed a step forward into a world of inclusivity via Bitcoin, and increases robustness and trust in the Lightning Network.

BITCOIN IS THE INSURANCE

Why Insurance Companies Need Bitcoin
By Mike Hobart


In a time of monetary inflation, the only place to pool funds for insurance companies is bitcoin.

The insurance sector is being squeezed from multiple angles according to Deloitte's review, which identifies various streams of stress on the industry. One example being, increasing costs due to low interest rates, which makes employers hiring personnel more complicated. According to the author, the solution is simple — insurance companies should add bitcoin to their balance sheet.

The benefit of adding bitcoin would be two fold:
  • Exposure to the fastest growing asset in history
  • Increasing workforce quality

Insurers would be protecting a portion of their balance sheet by buying bitcoin, and additionally could attract talent to the space, as bitcoin is known to lure magnificent minds who have the incentive to see the asset grow also at an industry level.

"When you first start off trying to solve a problem, the first solutions you come up with are very complex, and most people stop there. But if you keep going, and live with the problem and peel more layers of the onion off, you can often times arrive at some very elegant and simple solutions." - Steve Jobs
