there are hundreds of millions of users using central exchanges. and only 17k nodes
(...)
but i guess people dont want to observe actual numbers and actual real life stuff playing out. they just want to find any fluff piece that sounds like it meets their utopia
We're not suggesting there will be "hundreds of millions" of LN users at any point in the near future. If you are, then perhaps you are the utopian dreamer. Maybe try to keep your precious scenarios at least somewhat grounded in reality.
It seems as though you decry every new service adopting LN, because you realise each one means a small, incremental rise in liquidity. Whereas your goal is to try and scare people away one user at a time with your ludicrous hyperbole and fearmongering. You're not going to succeed.
my quote was in reference to someone pulling a puff piece suggesting that LN is the reason there is no bitcoin congestion. i clearly stated when there are only 17k LN nodes but hundreds of millions of centralised exchange accounts.. no fluff. its actual numbers anyone can find should they dare observe..
the reality is people are using exchanges as "bank accounts" to avoid the bitcoin network. rather than using LN.
as stated there is real world evidence. not just the hundreds of millions of exchange customers. but also that even the CHIVO dropped LN, to instead prefer centralised exchanges as the back bone account management system of crypto/fiat of chivo payments
atleast my goal is not to lock people into LN and then give lame excuses for why they should never exit it. by screaming how bitcoin is bad, bloated, heavy,broke just to make your network look good
while simultaneously trying to ignore, hide, avoid, the flaws of your favoured network
have you dared to even read your own post history and tally how many times you shamed bitcoin vs how many times you shamed LN.. go on try it observe your bias
yea you hate bitcoin network i get it. but do yourself a favour. if you want to be a PR guy for LN.. try better.
👌
