We should immediately reject anything blockstream proposes due to their conflict of interest selling sidechains, a market created by throttling L1 capacity of bitcoin.
And why hard-forking to big blocks isn't considered a conflict of interest on its own? Because that's the other solution (not on scaling, just on temporary increase in on-chain transactions per second).
Huh I could have sworn it was just yesterday that there was a 12 hour backlog on our blockchain with 70mb of transactions waiting to be verified. Lightning isn't solving it, its been 7 years.
You're gravely mistaken. It's getting stronger by the years. It's just that demand is as well. To put it this way: if there wasn't lightning, be sure that the backlog would be worse.
