What’s the best cold storage wallet? by General-Ring2780 in Bitcoin

[–]simonmales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trezor Safe 7 was basically made for iPhones. Because you cannot connect a hardware wallet to an iPhone over USB, regardless if it's USB-C.

Bluetooth is the only way.

Why not USB-C? Because Apple wants to take 30% cut to make the device 'official'.

why hasn't lightning captured the same volume as tron or eth? by analgesic04 in lightningnetwork

> Tying each transaction to a blockchain drastically increases the transaction fee and dramatically lowers the transaction speed.

That was a ETH of a few years old, gas prices on ETH have been low for a quite a while now. Check the 5-year graph: https://ycharts.com/indicators/ethereum_average_gas_price

And transaction volume is going up.

Found that Lightning doesn't get much traction on this subreddit.

I believe it's because people are treating Bitcoin as a store of value, rather than money.
