What did she say? Well, we - literally all humans, even the ones who don’t realise it yet - need Layer 2 to succeed.
Lightning can’t handle hyperbitcoinisation. But maybe Ark can, it is arguably better positioned for it.
So for people who are designing freedom tech and for those of us who are helping them build it this becomes important.
Even though its impact is still unfolding, Ark might emerge as an important enabler for the development and hopefully inevitable adoption of open-source projects that challenge the centralised ecosystem. Think of our product nostr:npub1d0csynrrxcynkcedktdzrdj6gnras2psg48mf46kxjazs8skrjgq9uzhlq - a challenger to Docusign and others that hold your sensitive data, scan it, and share it with others.
By lowering the barriers to self-custodial, private, and scalable Bitcoin payments, Ark makes it easier for open-source Nostr-based applications to integrate seamless financial functionality without complex channel management or inbound liquidity requirements.
So yes, the future of Layer 2 matters, we all need Layer 2 to succeed.
