you have only exposed them to LN payments. which is a totally different network. using a unit of measure called millisats which is a something the bitcoin ecosystem does not understand.
Come into those children's mind. Do they really want to know the differences between these two networks? Nope. They can't comprehend the difference as it's too difficult to even understand the way transactions work.
the funny part is the only people giving you merit are the altnet LN lovers.
Everyone except you likes the Lightning Network.
its much like doing students a disservice in economics by not explaining the difference between a credit card and a debit card. and just giving them free fiat and saying go spend it. not explaining the pitfalls of credit cards. where all they think about is that money comes to them for free and they can spend it without repercussions or debt or problems later.
You keep lying and confusing people about LN. The Lightning Network
is not debt-based/IOU. Your analogy is incorrect as the credit cards are by design, debt-based while the lightning payments are made in a way that even done outside L1, both parties will not cheat each other.
Yes, they do keep a supposed debt (the signed tx), but they are free to release it and get the money whenever they want with none's permission. Why is that so hard to understand?
if you really want to teach kids that bitcoin is a network that doesnt have a blockchain. doesnt have consensus, doesnt have confirmations.. you have succeeded..
No he hasn't.
and yes thats the game theoriy most of the large 'hubs' of LN want to see. lock up the gold, let people play with paper money, and when people want to settle give them copper/brass/nickle coins and thus the 'bank' keeps the gold..
What's the bank in this case? The lightning node? Clarify, 'cause the lightning node keeps nothing.
