Lol! Not once, but even twice!
I could blame the new device I was typing in, that probably still doesn’t possess all the bitcoin related lingo, but the reality is I completely overlooked this funny typo.
Actually, you got a triple!
Hope that we will hear more on this from Micheal Taylor about this initiative.
- Having yet another firm committed at deploying huge resources on the Bitcoin Lightning development can help this process of "industrialization" of bitcoin development. Smartest developer will be more confident about their future prospects in the LN, without being lured in some other more financialy viable (in their interest) like shitcoin development.
- If Microistrategy is successful in developing a successful LN integration on a wide scale environment, this will massively boost LN adoption, and thus Bitcoin adoption for Bitcoin agnostic application. Strike is only an example for this: to use Bitcoin as a network, you don't need to trust bitcoin as a coin.
On-topic, though: more firms committed to Bitcoin and Lightning development is definitely great to see.
I sincerely hope we see more investments and development dollars going into
Core Lightning, rather than yet another LND supporter, project which is still somehow
connected with WEF and pushing weird things into / stopping great ideas from being integrated into Lightning protocol.
Regarding MicroStrategy; until now they're just a big investor in Bitcoin. I'm not sure why they're so idolized by many; their investment doesn't really help Bitcoin in any significant way. Further, in fiat world (where businesses operate), putting all your eggs in one basket is generally not a great idea. While with personal long-term savings, you may be fine with a 4 year bear market, your companies' investors may not be thrilled seeing your company value fall by 50% and
stay there for years. Especially if they don't understand Bitcoin themselves (which most people generally don't).
I don't care too much about most companies, but I do believe that it makes sense for them to start working in the Bitcoin field, if they try to 'sell' this 'Bitcoin company' image and want to actually help Bitcoin instead of just buying large sums (for fiat maximization / as an investment - not to use it as P2P electronic cash, how it was originally intended..).
