Who here was listening to Café Bitcoin today (or the Nostr Nests simulcast) and wants to discuss what Terrence from Swan Bitcoin said to Brad Mills: "Lightning is fucking tiny. It’s a joke. It doesn’t work at scale."

So far all the negative takes on Lightning I’ve heard are theories from people who don’t even use it.

Of course it’s small, so was bitcoin in 2011.

Of course we’re never going to have 8 billion people running their own nodes.

Is that the metric we’re supposed to be measuring its success by?

I find it fascinating how many Bitcoiners there are out there who have not experienced Lightning. So easy to dunk on something you have not experienced.

I bet this Terrence guy is not on Nostr either.

He’s not, as far as I could tell.
