Will humanity rise to the occasion?

I don't think he was from this time... or planet

The sheer breadth of knowledge, casually saying that he first wrote all the code to convince himself that he could solve all the problems, “and then I wrote the paper”, when the white paper was poorly received by mailing list skeptics... the difficulty adjustment, game theory, designing Bitcoin to support a multitude of transaction types (yes, Bitcoin "can" support a turing complete scripting environment at the cost of security), post-quantum cryptography... but disabling all the complexities of the original design before disappearing, with the message that “we should explore them in the future”

Thanks to all the noise from shitcoin affinity scammers, many aspects of Bitcoin design are criminally underappreciated

No it hasn't. To claim sidechain mev doesn't affect bitcoin is regarded

Drivechain is federated and enables mev and no, that doesn't just affect sidechains as it does with stacks blocks now. It distorts miner incentives in ways that threaten censorship resistance

Chivo is El Salvador only. It's not a lightning wallet. Strike, Bitcoin beach, Peach etc. are remittance apps built on top of lightning, not lightning wallets. You left out muun, which is among the most popular "lightning" wallets despite not being one, but it's self custodial

With Phoenix implementing splicing, there's no excuse for not using it.

Anything short of running your own node is not entirely trustless, this goes for on-chain too. There are only varying degrees of trust minimization.

Monero is not about scaling for everyone?

So who should have privacy and who shouldn't?

You're sharing a screenshot from a consensys shill who can't transact if infura goes down?

Lightning is 1000x more scalable than any shitcoin chain and has potential to scale another 1000x. Look into covenants, hierarchical channels, multiparty channels, multipath payments, route blinding... your understanding of lightning is outdated by at least 4 years. The fact that there's no reliable source of public data for lightning is proof enough of lightning privacy, which continues to evolve. IRS has a $650k bounty to crack lightning privacy.
