Re: BTC as "every day" spending currency vs. 10 min Block Confirmation/Mining time
.. oh, because he is mad that he has not realised that LN does not have the same security as bitcoin.
I openly tell people off-chain doesn't have the same security level as on-chain. As evidenced by my post history:
If you need to move a sizeable sum of wealth and security is paramount, it's best to do it on-chain. If you need to make a small payment, where speed is a higher priority than security, you can transact off-chain.
Willing users can opt to send smaller transactions off-chain, sacrificing some security for speed and cost-effectiveness - leaving more space in blocks for significant sums that require the greater security provided by on-chain transactions.
Bitcoin has a greater mining difficulty and total hashrate than any other network on the face of the planet. It is therefore the most secure. It seems that many users place a great deal of value in the security of Bitcoin and they're clearly willing to pay for it. If you feel your transaction doesn't need as much security, you can do it off-chain
But please, keep discrediting yourself further by saying things which are blatantly untrue. Clearly you've become so completely addicted to lying, you don't even bother checking if there's any evidence to counter what you're saying. How do you expect anyone to believe a single word you say? You're pathetic.
you dont built up a loyal fan base via deception.
Y'know, that would be the most insightful thing you've ever said if you hadn't said it without a hint of irony.
Does it not occur to you that this is the exact reason why no one here likes you? Because you try to twist and manipulate every last word to suit a false narrative.
bitcoin had to change to fit LN's settlements
And we are painfully aware that you're still butthurt about that. I would say build yourself a bridge and get the hell over it, but then you'd probably launch into a tirade about how I'm "promoting bridges in a dangerous fashion when we should just ford rivers like the good ol' days".
its a different network. its literally highlighted in the name. N part of LN. the handshaking and communication format agreement of messages between LN peers is different then the handshake connection of bitcoin full nodes.
I'm going to stick with the water/steam analogy. Someone invented the steam engine and you're telling everyone it's a bad idea to use it because it's not water anymore. Steam is just water in a different form and it allows us to do some things we can't do with regular water. No one is forcing you to turn your precious water into steam. The choice is yours. But you can't take that choice away from us.
You're there raving like a madman that it's not safe for people to drink hot steam, as though that was some sort of valid argument against using it. I think most people are aware that operating a steam engine might have some safety implication that they need to consider. Particularly if they've never used one before. And I'm not suggesting for a moment that a steam engine is suitable for all situations. It's not. But enough of us find it useful and it's only natural for us to assume others may find it useful too. Perhaps you believe the right course of action is to shield people from this technology to protect them, but some of us believe people should be allowed to decide for themselves.
But yes, steam is hot, everyone, please be careful when you use it.
why so emotional..
They do say that sociopaths don't "understand the emotional consequences of their actions"...
Qualities of a Sociopath
Someone who is described as a sociopath will have several traits that set them apart from those with no personality disorders. These traits include the following…
• Lack of empathy – Inability to feel sympathy for others or to understand the emotional consequences of their actions
• Cold, calculating nature – The ability and willingness to use others around them to personal gain
• Narcissism – A personality disorder in itself in which the individual feels strong love and admiration toward themselves (often a defense mechanism against deep seated low esteem)
• Grandiose self image – They might see themselves as someone who is superior to others and sometimes even experiences delusions. A sociopath might see themselves as a fitting ruler of a country or even the world, but might also have delusional beliefs such as seeing themselves as a God or having super powers
• Despotic/Authoritarian – Often the sociopath will see themselves as a necessary authority and will be in favor or totalitarian rule
• Compulsive lying – As part of their facade, and as a means to an end, sociopaths are compulsive liars and will rarely speak truthfully making them hard to pin down

Scary how many of those traits you appear to be 100% nailing.
