are you personally of the mindset of:
A. people should use altnets like LN to lock value up with a middleman and rely on other middle men to be online and accepting to facilitate payments..
Using other peoples coins, on other peoples infrastructure, on other peoples rules
is not scaling. Because it doesnt scale
the actual solution. Youre ignoring the cost of being able to decide over your rules tho. Everyone should be able to run their own node, and most people are heavily resource constrained. Each increased requirement will price x amount of people out, permanently or temporarily. So when theyre actually able to decide over their own rules, theyll also be able to decide over things like blocksize etc. It doesnt make sense to keep obsessing over fees only, when the cost of a running node is the prerequisite for people to decide when its time for a change or when it isnt time for a change. I also dont understand what were discussing about, because its the decision of node runners that they can take at any time they please. Our opinions doesnt matter for this.
