Just because some VC isnt blindly pumping fake liquidity into the network like you expect them to in daddy money EVM land doesnt mean its not operating. My node is working amazingly well, it backs itself up twice daily and has never encountered an issue. EVM is centralized garbage that cannot properly define integers.

the fact remains, the most popular way to scale bitcoin is by locking coins in a HTLC and issuing tokens against them on a separate blockchain using a smart contract. if the lightning network didn't have so many intractable flaws, people wouldn't have gravitated toward an EVM solution. if the lightning network is so wonderful, it would have the most bitcoins deposited into it. I keep hearing over and over again that the market cap of bitcoin is evidence that it is the best thing ever, but for some magical reason this same logic doesn't apply to the TVL of scaling solutions. your devs had 8 years to fix lightning and they wasted it huffing paint behind a dumpster the whole time.
thats not scaling thats a ponzi scheme lol
it's literally what blockstream liquid does. even lightning does this. it's bitcoins locked in a HTLC where they get unlocked on some other accounting system somewhere else. sometimes there is a decentralized two way peg like in the case of threshold tbtc or even lightning, and sometimes there actually isn't like in the case of blockstream liquid. people spent a lot of time talking about decentralized two way pegs. this whole thing is enabled by segwit, which made HTLCs possible in the first place. I guess you were not paying attention, all you focus on is lightning, and there are no other scaling solutions. I get the feeling that you have never actually studied any of these moving parts.
lmao youre just flip flopping and redefining things, I dont have time for such scatterbrain arguments, just fuck off you aint convincing me of squat
"your devs" yadda yadda yadda , get your faggot money talk out of here clown, I AM my devs
