It is safe though; that corruption occurs in the current paradigm and spheres of influence that central authorities create. Bitcoin however is a separate closed system, like a different planet with its own unique atmosphere.

Catch is as a people we have to mentally inhabit that other planet. While living in the central authority’s world, thinking the way we’re told, there is no escape.

But to live and truly accept Bitcoin brings liberation from all that; powers that be can dictate and mandate anything they want but on planet Bitcoin their words carry no weight.

No i'm sorry, bitcoin is only somewhat uncorrupted at this point in time.

Only layer0: PoW is fully decentralized and a nauciously effective ritual of sacrifice.

Layer1: Bitcoin is kept at bay by the gray community wizards, but their tools and communication channels are owned by Microsoft.

Layer2: lightning is fully centralized. Once a lightning node has locked up enough Capitol in their channels they can detach from the Blockchain and replace it with a mysql database "for everyones best interest" and the money printing will begin a new.

But in present time, yes I agree Bitcoin is better than fiat.

An alternative to lightning popped up on my radar.

If you're interested, check out #peercoin it uses lightweight ledgers instead of LN servers.

But essentially the same layer2 thing

Have you checked out Ark? The L2 for Bitcoin? I think it’s guna take the cake for what Bitcoin needs to scale.

As far as our disagreement goes it’s one of the few things we can agree to disagree upon and actually, objectively, both be right about.

Until there is global adoption of a Bitcoin standard (and maybe not even then) Bitcoin is narrative-less and anything, positive or negative, we associate with it is a flaw (or feature) of our own systems paradigm.

Yeah that's one way to put it. No bias attributed to BTC in present time has meaning.

I checked out ARK, Intresting lead

I read a few messages into the conversation, lots of made up words but good read.

My takeaway is that the server that runs ArkServiceProvider.exe is free to mess with all zaporonies it locks up.

There was some critisicm pointing towards previous attempts and failure's of what they categorized as an "zero-conf L2 system".

Idk
