Can I hop on a call with someone well versed in Lightning? I’m trying to help someone understand and it’s a very unique and specific person.
Got to talking with my Uber driver and he understands Bitcoin. He brought up the ETFs, the halving, he’s got a good grasp on it. He thinks that the main value is going to come from it being a medium of exchange. That’s not the main kicker though…
Unfortunately… Somehow he came to the conclusion that XRP was the scaling solution. We’ll talk about that later, but it turns out he doesn’t know what LN is. Because of his base knowledge, explaining it to him was very difficult because he thought of LN as sort of a… token? He couldn’t understand how it was Bitcoin and I couldn’t explain it either in the short period of time.
The dude is awesome. He seems extremely open to learning. He was never “Oh you’re dumb for not being in XRP” or “XRP is the next big moon” and THANK GOD he did not just push false hopium facts. We exchanged contact information and I’m talking with him later but I need some assistance.
I wanna talk to him about other things like Liquid too but I think Lightning might be the first thing he needs to hear. Dead ass wanna talk to someone tonight because I think there’s hope for this pleb and he was mistakenly steered down the wrong path.
