The fact that every other L1 blockchain is now needing L2s to scale (or has become overly centralized instead) should be the only signal needed for everyone to realize that Bitcoin + L2s was the answer all along and that these shitcoins never actually solved any important problems.

I'm still not OK with not been able getting lightening payments to my node without opening my inbound/outbound liquidity.

I see this as a large friction for mass adoption of self sovereigncy

I don’t think payments necessarily need to be fully decentralized in the same way the base layer is. Some things just aren’t technically feasible and we have to live in reality with realistic expectations.

It probably is technically feasible. We just need to come up with stuff.

The shi*coins were so small that they didnt even matter, and therefore could talk about possible solutions that wouldnt work. Once they try to grow, network effects will be uncontrollable and therefore insanely good incentives are needed. In short, bitcoin is thousend times the size of them, If they want to get bigger, their "solutions" cant hold it anymore and start to break down.
