bitcoin maximalists are all lying scum

un fucking believable. bitcoin maxis only know how to build piles of shit, tell other people what to do, and be a destructive nuisance.

your article proposes to construct a centralized mixing service. just like the ones that have scammed countless people and delivered suboptimal privacy to unsuspecting victims. you're a scammer.

you didn't say "custodial lightning wallets are bad don't ever use them." this means you are a bad actor. it's 100% black and white. custodial wallets will sodomize your wealth like mark karpeles.

>I opened a channel with an onchain transaction during a precious moment when the mempool wasn't as stuffed as a turkey on thanksgiving. I am very smart

if everyone who used ethereum and solana and all the other chains suddenly found salvation and joined your stupid religion, there would NOT BE ENOUGH ROOM for a fraction of them to do what you did. even the lightning devs will tell you this and you ignore them completely. if your L2 solution forces people to do onchain transactions to control their own money, it's broken and you need to try something else.

lightning has intractable flaws that make it totally non-viable outside of custodial usage. but that's totally fine. bitcoin maximalists can just stop being colossally stupid and start shifting attention to L2 technology that doesn't rely on payment channels. any day now. the future is bright.

you don't tell somebody with a job to do that they have a short time preference. you don't just go around telling people to close down their activities and wait for bitcoin to someday make monero and ethereum obsolete while you twiddle your dick in your little echochamber. people need these things today right now and bitcoin isn't ready to deliver them. "there is no second best."

I think some of these maxis who deny reality are glowie alphabet people, some of them are corporate saboteurs, and most of them are just really dumb

THE LIGHTNING NETWORK:

SACRIFICE YOUR SOVEREIGNTY

OR YOUR SANITY

you're pushing a broken technology and making the entire concept of digital currency look like a complete joke. this is not what I signed up for in 2012. of course I'm going to sound mad.

ethereum virtual machines have more bitcoins deposited into them than the lying notwork.

LN: 4824 BTC (a huge chunk is custodial wallet services)

noncustodial EVM implementations: 4815 BTC composed of

RSK - 3202 BTC,

tBTC - 1309 BTC,

renBTC - 304 BTC

custodial EVM implementations: 158168 BTC (only WBTC)

EVMs trustlessly hold about as much BTC as the entire lying notwork. also, all custodial LN wallet services combined hold fewer bitcoins than the custodial WBTC contract. this makes the EVM the most popular bitcoin scaling solution today in terms of capacity. TPS numbers are probably higher too.

EVM users enjoy L2 scaling solutions that don't suck ass. tBTC on the ETH L2 Arbitrum can be kept in hardware wallets because rollup technology doesn't sacrifice cold storage.

the holy grail:

* I want to hold BTC noncustodially

* I want to use cold storage and hardware wallets

* I want fees to be cheaper than BTC mainnet

* I want to easily send or receive any amount, large or small

* I don't want to make any onchain transactions myself if I don't have to

laser eye maxis haven't delivered this. with lightning and payment channels in focus, it simply will never happen. methheads and only methheads have been able to deliver it. they would do more for you than you would ever do for them.

statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

pivot to drivechains or zkrollups or this will be you soon. it's not too late

you literally posted an advertisement for a custodial wallet. this is why you maxis are all the same. you doublespeak. we both know most people are not going to fund a channel with an onchain transaction or run a node. a good L2 scaling solution wouldn't have the ridiculous limitations that lightning has. this is not the only way.
