LN is cool and I use it.

but it doesn't do what you think it does.

for starters, its already highly centralized itself and 90+% of users are using custodial LN anyway.

maybe it gets better, but that's the situation right now.

what YOU'RE doing is a pure hopium,

"this will be fixed in the next update"

You're clearly ignorant man and that's okay. Just do you rthing lol

"i have nothing relevant or interesting to say but I'll look stupid if I dont respond"

👍

you're grabbing numbers out of your ass and acting like you know things. get therapy.

that doesn't negate the privacy features at all

I agree with that entire article. Taproot based opens/closes are very easy to do now, nearly 2 years later though. They are not so obvious on the block explorer anymore. Further, with all that being true, lightning is still magnitudes better for privacy than on chain is.

Better than a completely transparent ledger that's audible to anybody with an internet connection?

Set the bar a little lower why don't you...

But it's true

you can *probably* get *reasonable* privacy guarantees with Ln if you jump through a bunch of hoops.

Largely because the amount of economic activity is negligible enough to where it's not being actively surveyed

That doesn't make it a privacy layer.

Because 90+% of users are normies, they won't run their own node, ever.
