In many ways they appeared to be talking past each other but they ended up finding more common ground around how Lightning will interact with various Bitcoin layers over the long term.

Alex is more excited about how Lightning is already helping scale Bitcoin today, while Paul sees potential issues arising over the long term.

🔑 QUOTES:

“The federated model is just about the worst thing to happen in Bitcoin’s history.” – Sztorc

“I thought Lightning was for end users. I changed my mind.” – Gladstein
