paul storcz and luke dashjr are two of the scariest people alive

>bitcoin is not for small payments. it's just a settlement layer. just use lightning! 8 years later... >lightning is not for small payments. it's just a settlement layer. just use fake bitcoin on a permissioned server with a shiny website! this resulted in the proliferation of bullshit companies pretending to solve a completely fake problem. it creates the false appearance that people are building things and making progress. >it's tradeoffs all the way down. that means it's okay to steal from you, spy on you, or block your payments. oh and we get all the fees now there is no progress. you are being scammed.

you are just mad because they chose to go with an EVM instead of some ridiculous bitcoin contraption that nobody else outside of nostr will ever care about. you are just pretending to be mad about how they will structure their company and the other details. if they structured their company all the same, and used some half baked bitcoin rube goldberg machine, you would be showering them with praise. I have seen the lengths you will go to look the other way when someone claims to be a bitcoin company. the reality is that EVM is the most widely successful platform for smart contracts. the next best alternative is a tiny sliver of the market. almost nobody knows or cares about bitcoin oriented smart contract platforms. you already drove those people out, and you cultivate a huge resistance against bringing a good EVM solution to bitcoin.

honestly if we can have BIP 300 and BIP 301 we should just let luke have whatever retarded bullshit he wants. it won't matter anymore. as long as he doesn't try to roll back the chain.
