Segwit and Lightning both transact Bitcoins, on the Bitcoin network.

You're relying on your audience being too stupid or too lazy to check this for themselves. That's not a very good strategy, anyone can check for themselves, and confirm you're talking nonsense.

Omni transacts Bitcoin on the Bitcoin network.  Counterparty does too.  Your definition is completely fucking stupid.  Nearly all of your responses are similarly so.  

Lots and lots of possible alts 'transact Bitcoins, on the Bitcoin network. '

LN is WILDLY different that the original protocol.  SegWit is VERY different than the original notion of signature.  These are enormous changes being marketed as 'Bitcoin tweeks'.  They are actual not Bitcoin, and they are not tweeks.  

Blockstream proposes a very different cryptocurrency - and the control commit access to make it appear to be 'Bitcoin'.


Blockstream is not Bitcoin.


as for carlton.. ignore him he knows nothing about LN
Lol, I'm not going to check the details, just so i can speak to you, it's a waste of time after all
Carlton is a moron best ignored in all his fanatic Blockstream defenses.  Does Blockstream pay him?
