That's why blocksize increase is an increase in CAPACITY but not a scaling solution, and Segwit+LN is an increase in Scaling (and thus in capacity).
How do you plan to liquidate your tx LN in a disabled blockchain?
Oh, right, paying $ 100 in fees.
Increasing the size of the blocks is a scalability solution.
As I have previously said I am pro reasonable block size increases as needed to provide the adequate infraestructure for both on-chain tx's AND LN settlements.
Could you explain to me, please, how will the LN transactions be processed in a decentralized way?
It seems to me that the value of a currency comes from its utility.
If we artificially limit the use of bitcoin to offchain transactions, we are limiting its value.
Bitcoin can be a store of value as long as it maintains its usefulness.
Small tx's, purchases, payments (that morning coffee) using LN. All the rest tx's directly on blockchain. Store of value, on blockchain.
This is what I really love about Bitcoin: Currently, you have cash (FIAT), and you have it on your posesion and control. You have your cash wallet from which you go paying small daily stuff but.... The BIG FIAT stash you have it on banks. You are not in direct possesion of it.
Bitcoin changes that, I want to be in posesion and control of my BIG stash. I don't care if my small wallet is in control of "third parties" ie: LN hubs as long as I posses/control the BIG part of my stash. And this is completely compatible to the idea of blockchain tx's and LN tx's.
I love it, it's the same reason I went into bitcoin. But, at the moment, CORE does not represent that vision.
Core is limiting the use of bitcoin exclusively to offchain transactions. Just watch your reaction to the Segwitx2 deal. Core represents centralized power, and does not respect community consensus.
Many of them said bitcoin would not work, and now, nine years later, flaunting their power behind the repository created by Satoshi, they want to change the system of incentives that keeps the network safe.
They may be good developers, but they do not understand the economic principles behind bitcoin.
