And solar power will never be viable because it is not viable now.
Electric cars will never be viable because they are not viable now.
We should just give up trying to make any kind of technological improvements because they are not viable right now.
7 years............. yawn
still flawed YAWN
imagine if bitcoin network was released in 2009. and in 2016 only had maybe 16,000 users playing around with only 5200 coins between them. where it was bottle necking
for even amounts of say $30 and above
would you say bitcoin was a success.. or a failure to launch
other development teams have seen the flaws of LN, seen which flaws wont and cant ever be patched. and instead started on their own bridge subnetworks. and those networks which are less than 2 years old have more liquidity in them
so if 7 years is not the date to call it a day. when will you call it a day
LN is not the solution, devs need to start a fresh subnetwork that actually functions and does what the wider community want and need. or just let bitcoin scale instead of this endless stalling tactic of "be patient"
i dont use ethereum(never have) or their co-branded, subset protocols of their subnetwork bridges(that also bridge to bitcoin)
and yet they are gaining alot more traction than LN
im a bitcoin maximalist. but friggen hell i do do my research with eyes wide open and not in dreams and hopes.
and im not happy with the silly games being played in bitcoin dev politics/corporate sponsorships of bitcoin devs pushing things that are not helping bitcoin grow but just stalling progress with YEARS of empty promises of solutions that are never met
ok heres a rationalisation (eye opening opportunity) challenge for you folk
can you lot even remember, lets say the top 3 "solutions for bitcoin" Ln was promoting back in the 2015-17 days
if so reply with them and your opinions of if they have been met or not
