Read_771 - Beating Fiat with the Breez SDK

Published: Oct. 13, 2023, 12:50 a.m.

"There used to be tradeoffs between Lightning and fiat:\xa0UX vs. sovereignty; UX vs. speed; UX vs. cost; off-the-shelf fiat payment widgets vs. coding a node into an app. With the Breez SDK,\xa0Lightning beats fiat across the board. It\u2019s faster to implement (as Ross says, \u201cIt\u2019s like one or two API calls to set up a node, one to send a payment and one to receive payment\u201d), cheaper to use, legally less complicated (check your jurisdiction), more private, and the UX is on par with fiat for the user\xa0and even better for the developers." \u2014 Roy Sheinfeld\n\nIf you are curious what the future of lightning is going to look like, or exactly how huge the runway is for adoption and onboarding in the next bull run, then this short article detailing out a simple example will show you just how powerful the Breez SDK + Blockstream Greenlight combo really is. Non-custodial, always online, instant node setup, and zero channel or liquidity management. This is the culmination of everything built in lightning to date, and its going to be a game changer!\n\nCheck out the original article at:\nSatimoto Is Beating Fiat with the Breez SDK | Breez Technology - https://medium.com/breez-technology/building-on-lightning-how-satimoto-is-beating-fiat-with-the-breez-sdk-88aa8252a994\n\nCheck out some of Roy's other great articles covered on the podcast:\nRead_701 - Lightning for Everyone in Every App\nRead_574 - Lightning & The Internet - Choosing the Right Path\nRead_732 - We Need More Apps With Lightning, Not More Lightning Apps\nRead_450 - Getting Lightning Ready for Global Takeover\n\nA huge thanks to our sponsors, and don't forget to check out the offers for the listeners of this show!\n\n 9% off the Coldcard with code BITCOINAUDIBLE, \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060bitcoinaudible.com/coldcard\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\n Check out the KYC Free, simple, no management, Bitcoin merchant solution, \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060Nodeless.io/guy\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060.
