I don't see Ark and Spark as competition with LN, they both need LN interop. They both come with tradeoffs and more centralized for sure. Agree that shitcoiners are now coming to bitcoin with their scams and people should pay close attention.
"What if Ark, Spark, and Lightning started around the same time?" ( nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3yamnwvaz7tmwdaehgun4v5hxxmmd9uqzqvckud5kme6d8x2ezfaemppd74aam3w3c7hc5p83h3awmq95g5yglv2qgz explains!)
What are your thoughts?

Yea they had to pivot away from the competing with Lightning messaging, since Lightning is the only real L2 they have to fall back to it. Now they just affinity scam as powering Lightning wallets.
They're closed networks and Lightning is an open network which gives an Lightning insurmountable advantage. One of their latest pivots seems to be payments between DeFi degens on shitcoin platforms


Are all your memes on a repo or something somewhere. I want a "Wall of Darth" at some conference or event.
