so, i'm getting to the bottom of this rah rah about saylor and CIA and shit
we don't need any significant changes added to bitcoin, this is actually true, and you don't want me to do the TL;DR because it's just true
what we need is a solution for payments that doesn't centralise - #lightning centralizes, look at it, it's centralizing, anyone can see this... it's just a replica of Visa, Mastercard and Western Union
we need a solution for payment layer that is decentralized
LN is not decentralized, there is efficiencies of scale in it, and that will lead to reduction of participant population numbers
it all sounds like a beat-up to me... i literally heard from the mouth of none other than Gigi exactly the same argument and i became convinced also - that bitcoin doesn't need improvements
and even today someone posted there is literally some axiom of engineering that systems that depend on greed are damaged by improved efficiency
so i'll say "no, we don't want bitcoin (as in software that interfaces to bitcoin protocol directly) innovation, tyvm, it's fine, fuck off, this is just another big blocker ploy"
