Lightning and BIP-110: How to not lose Sats while everyone else argues

Not another "HODL" wallet.

Bitcoin has become an exceptional store of value, but the ecosystem has largely optimized for saving rather than spending. This article argues that while cold storage and hardware wallets are essential for protecting long-term wealth, Bitcoin also needs wallets designed for everyday payments. It explores why a culture of "HODL" alone limits Bitcoin's evolution into real money, how Cashu enables private digital cash for daily transactions, why Nostr is merging identity with payments, and why Bey Wallet is being built for spending, zaps, peer-to-peer freedom, and the next chapter of Bitcoin adoption.

Bitcoin at $1,000,000: Why Everyday Money Will Be Ecash

A long-term perspective on why Bitcoin's future will depend on layered scaling rather than on-chain payments alone. As Bitcoin becomes more valuable and block space more scarce, everyday transactions will increasingly rely on Lightning and ecash. The article explores how Cashu enables fast, private, low-cost payments, why Nostr provides the decentralized identity layer for social payments, and how Bey Wallet is being built around this vision of making Bitcoin practical for daily use in the decades ahead.
