Bitcoin was created to be a universal currency and lightning makes it possible to make completely P2P micro-transactions for a few pennies paid in fees.
Now let's assume for the sake of this poll that you could now spend your bitcoin that is under your control on your wallet, anywhere, by just tapping your bitcoin wallet (hardware or mobile) against an existing credit card machine and you are able to pay with bitcoin over lightning.
What I'm trying to understand and defend against a lot of the mass skeptics is this exact question - Would you use bitcoin as a currency if it was possible?
I believe, irrespective of the value, anybody that held bitcoin before 2017 would be in a place to spend it.
from the moment bitcoin was out and then ethereum huge hype *SHADOW* was all over the web while all of them cannot scale to mass adaption and only experts know this from the beginning and the people behind bitcoin also said this, that there will be problem with scaling,miners, and other very important things with the chain.
lighting network dont solve the scaling problem its second layer , read about it...
top experts and anonymous people together try to slove this as fast as possible, the same problem was exist with scalling the internet in the beginning...but it sloved.
what will crash the fiat money is mass adaption and scaling, btc and ethereum hold around 7-25 max tps per second. still you can buy car or home but scaling its the key to adaption and adaption lead to surge the price of crypto and crash the fiat money.
mit for example regularly communicate with anonymous people to find a way.
the question is which protocol will solve this??
