Discussing the Lightning Network with Bitcoin OGs tends to be far more tiring than with newbs. There’s definitely a lot inertia, people who spent years thinking about Bitcoin would rather not spend another few years thinking about Lightning, yet they still feel intellectually superior based on seniority.

Yeah, I don’t get the hate. Lightening makes small purchases possible. It literally improves bitcoin, why not continue improving it?

Lemme at em

Not all of us hate ⚡️ network.

It’s either that or bigger blocks (dynamic block size?).

And I’d much rather have a working attempt at a useable layer 2 for private payments.

Layer 1 bitcoin isn’t suitable for small payments and has privacy issues. It’s either lightning network or monero.
