Did you know...that you never actually have possession of your bitcoin even if you hold your private keys in a wallet. Private keys are nothing more than an access code to a ledger account on the blockchain. A wallet is probably misleading, it is more of a key chain where you store keys to unlock and transfer bitcoin within the blockchain.

False.

There are no "accounts" on the blockchain.

A camera at a lava lamp? That doesn't sound very difficult.

Your numbers are invalid. Try computing again.

Did you know that the average person posting on Bitcointalk.org has no knowledge about what they are posting. They frequently just make up nonsense. It is important to make sure you are reading posts from a reliable source before you believe or repeat what you've seen written.

Is lightning network not a state channel?
