What I'm less keen on is how there are a bunch of high profile Bitcoiners that previously were hating on that exchange, but after Bitfinex's adoption of Lightning they made a 360 shift and are even mild on Tether.
Yup, Bitfinex has always been really effective at marketing towards this demographic. Chain split tokens, naming Bitcoin Cash "BCH," adding Segwit, Liquid, and Lightning support. Bitcoin maximalists absolutely love them for this stuff. That's why high profile folks like Adam Back have been promoting them for years. I'm sure this factored into Blockstream's decision to add Tether support for Liquid too.
