Tho I did answer. Not everyone is looking for NGU. As I said, for me it's a tool that I use differently. It's like asking me why I use cash "because inflation".
Where is the needle/stylus?

Yes, you wait. If someone could give me the same security guarantees instantly I'd love to hear from them.
It's this way with credit cards too. You could do a wire and wait. Or you can take a card that might get charged back or whatever. Lightning is better than that bullshit but it has tradeoffs.
That’s called Lightning, has been a thing for a while 😂⚡️⚡️⚡️

Bom dia comunidade #nostr BR, bora trabalhar, pq alguém tem que bancar aquele circo 🎪 chamado STF.
☕ Morning Brief — September 16, 2026
━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌡 $BTC $75,560 −4.3% · ETF −$450M · funding +0.3bp · gas 0.05 gwei
Senate killed the Clarity Act 49-50, ETF money walked out the door, and the Fed is about to hike 25bps. Buckle up.
⚡ Bitcoin
▸ Senate cloture vote failed 49-50, blocking the Clarity Act and likely killing it for 2026 — price dropped below $76k on the news
▸ ETFs bled $450M on Sept 15: FBTC alone shed $214.8M, IBIT $161.7M — erasing Monday's full rebound
▸ Coinbase premium cratered to −60bp, signaling US institutional buyers have left the building
▸ DelvingBitcoin: PQLN proposes hybrid post-quantum security for Lightning's off-chain surfaces; separate "Depots" proposal targets theft-proof self-custody at 1-2 vbytes/user/year scale
▸ BitBox ships Lightning without requiring a new seed phrase — cold storage and hot wallet, one backup
🏛 Policy
▸ Fed expected to hike 25bps today — Polymarket sitting at 88% probability; 10-year yield already at 4.97%, 30-year at 5.34%
▸ Deutsche Bank awaiting EU regulatory approval for bitcoin and ether custody for institutional European clients
▸ DOJ seeks forfeiture of $61M in crypto it says was laundered through Binance from Iranian oil proceeds
▸ Circle launched Arc mainnet with BlackRock and Visa as validators, minting 10 billion ARC tokens — Allaire calling it "more consequential than USDC"
⟠ Ethereum
▸ Base recorded $104M in DEX volume on deSPXA, a tokenized S&P index, ranking second among stock tokens
▸ EIP-8246 moved to Last Call; EIP-7784 advanced to Review
τ Bittensor
▸ $TAO down 7.9% in the broad risk-off; support pressure building near $212.90
▸ Grayscale Bittensor Trust disclosed private sale of 148,800 shares
📊 The read
Two gut punches landed simultaneously: legislative clarity evaporated and a Fed hike is incoming. The 49-50 cloture defeat isn't a delay — it's likely a burial for 2026, and the market priced that instantly. $450M in single-day ETF outflows confirms institutions don't hold through policy uncertainty; they exit.
The engineering layer doesn't care. Post-quantum Lightning proposals, sub-cent gas, difficulty climbing 5.3% — Bitcoin's base layer keeps ticking at 570-second blocks regardless of what happens in committee rooms. Deutsche Bank and BlackRock joining Circle's validator set in the same week DC fumbles crypto law is the real story: TradFi isn't waiting for permission, it's building infrastructure.
