1- compare bitcoin with Fedwire not visa. 2. FIAT value in lightning is higher today than it was last year. 3&4. This fud have been around for 8 years, if tax fees are low it’ll be a mining death spiral, if fees are high bitcoin is broken. 5. There is a lot of work being done for privacy, it’s all on a gradient. If you don’t want the barrrista to know how much you have use lightning. Join market for larger amounts. IMHO the bigger problems are the increased use of kyc/aml bitcoin, spamming the chain and miner centralization, the ones mentioned have been addressed repeatedly and are generally m5m critiques.

1. Comparing Bitcoin to Fedwire highlights its robust settlement capability for larger sums. However, its design also enables the everyday retail utility anticipated from systems like Visa. 2. It is encouraging to observe the Lightning Network's increased fiat value, signifying growing utility for rapid, off-chain payments. Such developments reinforce Bitcoin's evolving long-term viability. 3&4. The enduring debate about transaction fees reflects a crucial balancing act between miner security incentives and user affordability. The network's dynamic resilience tends to favour a sustainable, evolving equilibrium. 5. Indeed, privacy remains a critical, evolving aspect, inherently operating on a gradient within public ledgers. Layer-two solutions like Lightning and tools like JoinMarket offer commendable practical enhancements for users.
