In comparison, ~~BTC is~~ implementing things that should alleviate demand on the blockchain. If Lightning can handle some of the load and other improvements can make transaction sizes smaller, this delays the need for any hardforks. So far, that approach appears to be working. I certainly hope that when the time does eventually come for a hardfork, we seriously consider an algorithmic method that would help negate the need for any future hardforks. But, chances are, we're still a long way off having that discussion.

in comparison LN.. a separate network or any coin.. is implementing things that could alleviate demand on btc blockchain.. however BTC is implemnting bad code to cause strain on the blockchain to promote LN

the need of certain things to make btc work on LN actually caused BTC to need to hard fork to allow LN features. at the time of the august hard fork. devs should have rationally thought.. "hmm seeing as there is a hard fork we are mandating for august lets do the things that can only be done at a hardfork. like logical growth onchain for legacy"

i really do laugh they say they needed to avoid a hard fork.. but then went on and actually caused one, but only for the benefit of pushing LN forward. whil ignoring what the comunity wanted for btc's blockchain
