I still love lightning and it will have many use cases, but I can only see it being deployed in specialized domains like people who set up servers and stuff. This is still a huge market.

Bitcoin itself is way easier to run and I think it’s still a good idea to train people to run a node to see their balance privately.

We need something else for *everyone*, maybe thats ecash, maybe its ark, maybe it’s something else we haven’t even thought of yet.

Having multiple ways to interface with bitcoin is not a bad thing, we just need to be clear with the tradeoffs when onboarding users. nostr:note1j2gmp5zefvsrhu5dku88dn5sep9a538hmmax70vhjuqqdez7vm5s4fcgnx
