That would mean to stay decentralized everyone would need to be cross compatible with each other. Everyone would need to constantly be updating their nodes to be more  compatible. That is a lot of down time and a lot of centralization. Too many rules. There is also deflation to consider. Those that choose to spend #bitcoin will always be over paying in the long run. Technology will be so advanced in the next few decades the need to spend bitcoin collapses. People will be self sustaining with robotic farms, renewable energy, self driving taxis, drones, etc.

So if you forked it how can you open channels with someone on a completely different fork?

Lmao name any implementation. They are all controlled by someone. And if everyone had 1 of their own they would be better off on L1

Lol if everyone in the world has their own centralized implementation all to themselves why even open channels? You are basically just using L1 twice for the same tx. Can you open a channel by going through multiple centralized implementations?

Has anything happened that bitcoin could not handle since?

Lol maybe bitcoin. More likely just a digital dollar on an implementation like LND. Banks can open channels with each other and create their own wallets. Thats why they like Jack Mallers

ALL LIGHTNING IMPLEMENTATIONS ARE CENTRALIZED. Just wait. Your CBDC will be on a network similar to lightning
