Roger is right to say the base layer is not scalable to make it a payment system, he is also right that Lightning is a bit of a shit show.

The part he fails to acknowledge or even discuss is the cost of centralisation.

This, as you say, is the killer and makes BCH and BSV follies.

Agree with all points, but of course bitcoin’s decentralized network out-values those other benefits. He doesn’t talk about his desired centralization because he knows how unpopular it is. That’s his dirty little secret. Lighting kinda sucks, but seems to work well enough for me to go out drinking on!
