what are the most important lessons you’ve learned about how to approach bitcoin education?

One of my favorite things about SN is that we can each discover where we fit into the ecosystem: i.e. where we are adding value to the community. 

Some people make great original posts, like this one, and others drive engagement by responding and keeping the conversations going. Other people are great at surfacing valuable resources and sharing those, while others help out with development of the site itself.

So far we manage all of that with very little toxic internet culture seeping in.

It's no surprise that many of us find ourselves spending more and more time here.

Yes, I've also found this to be a problem. Hopefully with the spike in fees more merchants will get some lightning solutions set up.

I'd like to see a better non custodial way of running a lightning node. Maybe a node in the box with channels already set up that they could buy as a package. 

I recently bought a PoS & a book. I like instant settlement for small purchases.

 at btc++ yesterday and it blew my mind how simple it is - at least from this high level perspective. So far, I didn't take the time to look into it even though I heard about the project several times already. With the presentation, I got the idea in less than a minute.

I also liked the introduction where existing custodial services like SN were mentioned (thanks for the shout-out even though it was as an example for a custodial service, haha) and that Cashu only solves the privacy issue with custodial services. Kinda like 

So if we use custodial services, we can at least keep our privacy :)

Now looking into how much work integrating Cashu with SN would be. It's not top priority, but when we make it easier for stackers to use their wallet to buy stuff (as 

 has been asking for a while), I think privacy and thus Cashu gets more important. We don't want to see what you're buying :)

Maybe we could even use it for internal transactions so even we can't tell who zapped who? But that would mess with our ranking system and personal feeds too much, I guess.

Currently at a [Cashu](https://cashu.space/) Hackday. There was a presentation by @calle at btc++ yesterday and it blew my mind how simple it is - at least from this high level perspective.
