i don't think that LN and V4V are a single thing

i think that the lack of micropayments led to an advertiser based model, sure, but V4V is some kooky donation nonsense socialist bleeding heart nonsense, and just because socialist street preachers accept coins and because socialist governments have moneys doesn't mean they are promoting commerce, the opposite... just read up on what Lenin said about debasing currency so people become dependent on the state

no, this is the purest kind of capitalism, one that works peer to peer and without any overseer

v4v is hooey injected by, likely, spook provocateurs

I meant P2P. I use those terms inter-operably when perhaps I shouldn't. The relevant factor for me is that payment occurs directly between relevant parties and settles at or very near the same time and this all occurs on a protocol that is semi decentralised.

There aren't too many industries we couldn't attack with this highly resilient model.

definitely it is a game changer and the rest of the internet will not figure this out for at least another year... so.. ONWARD!
