The way that they interact with blockchains most certainly is a new technology. I just don't understand your constant anger at LN. If you don't like it, don't use it. Nobody is forcing you to do anything.
its the same business idea of the 18th century
and its not about hating or loving LN
LN is a different network.
its about actually taking away the fluffy cloud utopian dream of LN. and actually thinking about the bitcoin network and how LN promoters are saying the bitcoin networks fee's need to go up, bitcoin networks transaction per day throughput needs to not increase. all so the promoters can HOPE for income streams on another network
