This will be the millionth time I have to respond to the same completely false and fabricated ideas. All of these "complaints" are false.

I would argue with you but you keep waving that moderator stick and banning people that won't agree or you remove the posts
so why not pop over to zero-hedge and try having a chat Andrew because I don't like fighting with one hand tied behind my back

It's a tad presumptuous to claim someone is going to delete a post before you've made it. How about you just make the argument and we'll decide if it holds any water.

In that regard, I look at Lightning as a huge force multiplier for any further incremental on-chain scaling improvements. Of course, I also hope that Lightning itself will see further scaling improvements as it matures. If it gives big, then Ill want biggerwell, one step at a time!

Lightning is off-block and consists of banks that charge fees and many developers are running away from Bitcoin for this reason just as fast as they can.

I don't recall any banks announcing that they were going to run Lightning nodes. That would be a pretty major headline I'm pretty sure I would have noticed. Like most people involved in Bitcoin, I'm not a fan of banks. I'd be dubious of anything that resembled traditional finance and fractional reserve making their way into Bitcoin. Thankfully, the closest thing we have to that are called Exchanges. If only people directed their misplaced vitriol at those instead of attacking Lightning, which could well lead to completely decentralised exchange. There are no banks in Lightning.
