it's ostracism

and i support saying the truth even if it insults people who are fervertly believing in bullshit.

also, literally, if "muh privacy" was all important then how do you expect that the public will hear the criticism of dumb ideas if they don't say it in public? it has to be to some degree public. i would argue that the moment you tell anyone it starts to become public, and once two people hear it, it's basically a given that someone is either going to tell someone else this idea or shout and scream about how offensive it is.

lola can write whatever she wants. but pointing at a small mempool like there is some problem with it proves that she doesn't understand that bitcoin's payment volume is moving to lightning. in fact, it proves it because i for one have moved at least as much btc around using lightning as i have by using lightning, i get paid in bitcoin, and then i swap it into my lightning node so i can spray it at my bank account to do my expenses.

people who have been bravely and purposefully stacking bitcoin for a long time and are keeping a really solid surplus in their personal savings don't need to transact online once they open a few big 1Msat sized channels. so the mempool is getting smaller and smaller. for at least a few years now, the majority of the times of big volume has been shitcoiners writing garbage to the blockchain to fleece idiots.
