The misconception that the Lightning Network doesn’t work and can’t scale bitcoin and the only solution is a ā€œfaster blockchainā€ is a marketing ploy created by VCs who only stand to gain when they get their exit.

This is one lie that won’t become truth no matter how many times it is spoken.

It's a bit complicated tho. And a bit more centralized in a sense.

But yeah. I'm convinced it's got big potential.

Nothing beats getting a few confirmations on L1 of Bitcoin though. 😚🤌 So sweet! Hahaha

Something almost magical about it.

It is indeed. It actually still gives me nervous jitters to send anything on-chain, even though I know it’s going to work. But zaps have that instant gratification experience that makes it ā€œsticky.ā€ āš”ļø

Also very true.

Waiting for block confirmations and Watchung your TX in the mem pool is WILD

Few.

It’s not controlled by a company or running on AWS. Nodes are individual machines building the network organically, one channel at a time. We haven’t even begun to unlock its true scale and potential.

Good way to put it.
