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 doesn’t 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 they’re actually able to decide over their own rules, they’ll also be able to decide over things like blocksize etc. It doesn’t 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 isn’t time for a change. I also don’t understand what we’re discussing about, because its the decision of node runners that they can take at any time they please. Our opinions doesn’t matter for this.


The big blockers debate against that is, "but you don't need to run your own node because it won't matter to the network". BUT it SHOULD matter personally to the users themselves FIRST, not the network.

The troll also brings back another disinformation effort saying that the Core developers and their supporters are turning the debate from technical to political. Wasn't it Roger Ver, the queen of all Drama Queens, who turned everything political after a MAJORITY of the community came into consensus behind the Core developers? Wasn't it the signers of the New York Agreement who tried to co-opt Bitcoin's development away from the Core developers? Cool
