interesting - but only useful if the internet is accessible.

if excessive growth is co-opted into a false narrative of threat and fear, it provides an excuse to compromise citizen access to all cyberspace and centralize control under international conglomeration without recourse. and hackers are the primary targets at this time because they are the mainstay between this being thwarted and being manifested. stop working for "white hat" govt funded and subsidized discovery gatherings.

what's confusing about it?

First sentence is clear. No idea what you're saying in the second paragraph.

But based on the first sentence, you're arguing Bitcoin and lightning are only useful so long as the government doesn't restrict our ability to network our devices together. Technically true. Practically meaningless.

sort of - the narratives are easily distorted to create excuses to restrict access to networks. and that's the precipice.

you know what else is practically meaningless? digital assets you cannot access. they're a real bummer... whether they're in a traditional financial institution or any "Bitcoin" holding outside of a physical offline custody.

This is semantic, but probably important:

A) Bitcoin (UTXOs) *cannot* be stored offline

B) Bitcoin (UTXOs) exists on The Bitcoin *Network* (requires network connection)

C) Keys can be stored offline. Keys are not Bitcoin. Keys prove ownership of Bitcoin (UTXOs)

For you to spend Bitcoin you need two things

- Keys

- The Bitcoin Network

Without a network your keys become useless. Whether or not they are "offline" doesn't matter.

you're discussing Bitcoin. im discussing bitcoin per the white paper.

Oh you mean the white paper that literally has a section called "Network"?
