Now, I’m quite certain that your intention is malicious. How do you inflate L2 if it’s anchored to L1? Or are you suggesting that milli-sats in Lightning are inflationary? 😂

L2 is only verifiably anchored to L1 if you’re doing self-custodial lightning and most people are not. As to yet Lightning scales best custodial (as do other proposal like ecash and Fedimints), as such there will also be some risk (and eventually quite like the appearance) of fake L2+ sats. In this case it’s only the risk of unilateral exit down the layers back towards the mainchain that acts as a constraining function on inflationary shadow dynamics in a layered Bitcoin monetary standard. Still much better than what we have today tho. No perfect solutions, only tradeoffs. #plebchain
