yet people are already doing it. loads of people that use exchanges exit the exchange not with BTC but by using altcoins so that can arbitrage value to other exchanges without delay.
take the whole purpose of USDT and stable coins.
That still isn't an argument against either LN or the long-term future of Bitcoin. For the most part, people aren't SPENDING those altcoins in the real world. The only economic activity is playing the markets. It doesn't matter how cheap or fast an altcoin is if no one accepts it in exchange for goods and services. Bitcoin is fast
enough and cheap
enough. That's all it needs to be.
think logically
people us a separate network service thats micropenny cost and no delay.. you think they are going to choose a slow costly blockchain or a cheap speedy blockchain
You don't get to tell people to "
think logically" when you're the one being illogical. Again, people already have the choice. They've had the choice for years. And whatever they choose in the short term, Bitcoin has still retained its #1 spot.
Having been on this forum for as long as you have, it's baffling how you haven't figured out the part where utility, security and network effects are considerably more important than raw speed and generally being tighter than a duck's arse with your tx fees. Even most of the newbs who've been here less than a month can figure that out. Either you're trolling, or you're just not very bright.
