I keep running into people who tell me that I don't understand lightning and they didn't read the documentation. I understand lightning completely. it's the thing I'm supposed to praise mindlessly so that the price of bitcoin will go up. I can pretend to use it and ignore its shortcomings or I can torture myself by attempting to run a node. doesn't matter. I am supposed to praise lightning so bitcoin go up. anyone who doesn't like lightning is trying to make bitcoin go down, so I have to disagree with them! anything they say, I must disagree. they don't understand that it's a prop we use to pretend that bitcoin is functional. we just don't talk about that part.
