Millions use it every day? Of course not. What kind of bogus statistic is that? Also no, you don't know my argument, I'm not a big blocker, I want blocks to be smaller than they are today. Someone did invent a way to scale payments without the centralizing tradeoffs: it's called Drivechain. Here's the simplest way to scale payments using Drivechain:

I don't like it, because it looks so dumb, but it's infinitely better than Lightning. There are other ways, though, like Shielded CSV: but all of these methods require a bridge to a parallel network, and only Drivechain can provide a decentralized bridge. We could have had this 10 years ago if it hadn't been for Lightning or the blocksize war. It's sad that these two things happened, both could have been prevented. Still, if we activate Drivechain today we can prevent wasting the next 10 years.

Have you checked the merchant stats? I mean, I know you have not because your claims are verifiable bullshit. LN is a nice extension to Bitcoin, but we shouldn't have sacrificed everything to partially make it happen 10 years after it got invented.

miners come together every year to decide which drive chains to turn on and off?

"Unless someone invented a way to made On-chain payments scale without the centralizing tradeoffs, Bitcoin had no other way to make it to visa-level TX activity." isn't this exactly what BCH did? the more I read the more I'm convinced the community chose the worse bitcoin version
