I was just watching this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zfGihfcLT4&t=836s
And a brief summary of LN would indicate that the nodes required to run LN would have to be operated by regulated institutions.
Long story short, assuming this video segment is correct, LN is starting to look like a slimy way for banks and governments to take over Bitcoin, and turn it into one big regulated/controlled clusterfuck that kills all that BTC stands for
So is this just a bunch of fud?
Also... lets say LN is up and running and becoming widely used... will we still be able to use the regular Bitcoin network, complete with it's anonymity ( for the most part )
I really hate the idea of Bitcoin being raped by big brother
Someone please tell me something to make me feel better, in the mean time I will keep reading and making myself more knowledgeable.
