Man I remember when he posted this on stacker news. Extremely heated comment section.

my opinion is ain't no way you can scale on chain bitcoin for everyone to use, not even fully self custodial lightning. if each person on earth got their own 100k sat channel, that's about 50% of all bitcoin, ain't no way that's happening 😂
things like fedimint will need to exist, and privacy preserving solutions like fedimint will succeed i think. maybe not in its current form, but it's very early days and mutiny are doing well to innovate in this field
Definitely. It irks me when people shit on Fedimint/Cashu with "why are we building custodial stuff". What was most people's first experience using bitcoin? How do you get your parents or friends who aren't total nerds to play with it for the first time? Ease of use is the most important thing for making a good first impression on most people. Also, relying on a soft fork to build stuff for Bitcoin is a great way to waste a ton of time, capital, and skills that could've gone into things that are possible with THIS version of the network.
