Lightning payments for my business
Usually lightning payments don't require the use of debit/credit cards. There is a new protocol called boltcard that allows you to make lightning payments with a prepaid NFC card (https://github.com/boltcard/boltcard). This is very cool but it's in its early stages of adoption.
- I created a Lightning Network Boltcard (NFC payments) template - feel free to use for your own boltcards

Binance Acquires FTX
- Travel, I book hotels/flight with it and once I rented a boat for a family trip
In addition to that I now and then try to pay with Bitcoins at other stores. Last time got excited about boltcards (https://github.com/boltcard/boltcard) there are few places in my country which accept it, but it is quite a new thing.

Could BTC ever have a traditional banking "feel"?
Just get a Bolt Card, and set it up with your own node server, it's open source. You can then just tap with your card in any merchant with NFC, for example BTCPayServer.

It's costing $188 to move $4.09 of Bitcoin
The submission is a page from r/Buttcoin, a Bitcoin-hater subreddit, with a random screenshot making the $188 for $4.09 complaint.
For those who don't know, Bitcoin on-chain transactions fees are not proportional to the amount sent, and it is common knowledge that $5 on-chain transactions are not practical. There are other solutions for sending smaller amounts.
Fees are currently spiking, but according to mempool.space (as I post this) an average on-chain transaction with ~$10.50 in fees will be confirmed within 30 minutes. See: https://mempool.space for details.
So this is not a very accurate, informative or helpful submission.

They put up the minimum withdrawal for bitcoin and now I'm sad.
That's about 50$? I don't blame them https://mempool.space/

BTC's Luke Dashjr: '24 Bitcoin Core Update Will Disrupt Ordinals, BRC-20
get some theory of mind. you are a person who is willing to pay onchain fees to use your trezor or open a channel. there are people in the world who are not willing to pay these fees and they probably outnumber you. and the plan has been spelled out in plain english a million times. the fees are supposed to go up by design. this means that most people will not self-custody, whether it is legal or not, and even if they would like to.

Meaning of display numbers.
I’m not an expert so someone smarter than me can clarify, but the high/priority rate is the going rate (estimate) to get confirmed on the next block. Medium is the average rate for those transactions to be confirmed next. You can see current and historical rates at mempool.space.

BTC transaction fees, WTF?
Check mempool.space for a better idea of how big a fee you need to offer to get into the next block.

My First Bitcoin!!!
The mempool is a bit crowed now. A few weeks ago it was only around 5 - 10 cents, and now it is between 3 and 13 dollars. (yesterday even 25 dollar) If you have a lot of UTXO's it can be very expensive to consolidate them all. In that case I would wait till the mempool is less crowed for lower transaction fees. it is important to understand that whirlpool or wasabi wallet will take many UTXO's (transaction fees) to mix your coins and maybe in the future exchanges don't want to touch your mixed coins. I mixed all my KYC coins as I'm not planning to exchange my bitcoin for fiat via a exchange in the future.
