It was a pillar of the SOV narrative, which pre-lightning was at odds with the circular economy mindset, since pre-lightning, the circular economy was so associated with big blockers doing coffee transactions. What's kinda rough though, is I still hear Jimmy say this kind of stuff. The situation has changed, because the tech has changed. Lightning is here, and circular economy doesn't mean changing block size. Also, things are starting to get weird, we are approaching the "then they fight you stage." Eventually the on/off ramps will become fewer, more limited, more surveilled. Time to start building the parallel economies and drop the "HODL-ONLY" mindset.
