>bitcoin doesn't scale
but it does... it scales naturally by letting excess traffic spill over into other chains. it is regrettable that this usually necessitates a new currency or a dodgy IOU, the trust assumptions get worse, and the new chain doesn't give transaction fee revenue to bitcoin miners. ethereum is the #1 bitcoin scaling solution, bigger than lightning, liquid, cashu, spark, and arkade combined. this benefits ethereum more than it benefits bitcoin. even spark benefits lightspark more than it benefits bitcoin. the users are the biggest losers here. you will be stuck with a cuckold chain for as long as you keep wasting time on lightning.
the drivechain idea is more closely aligned with the way that bitcoin scales naturally. it's just a clever way to enable what is already happening to benefit bitcoin the most. I don't even care if it won't be called "drivechain" or if it uses covenant opcodes instead of hashrate escrows. the idea fits more neatly into observable reality.

bitcoin maximalists are all lying scum
#ditto isn't honoring my mute list. I can see that pedophile guy again
oh boo hoo people won't come
you lacked the courage to kill all the altcoins and replace them with sidechains. you permit the multichain future to exist. it's time to roll out the red carpet for your new friends. I'm already here.

>small UTXOs are bad. you should have consolidated your UTXOs. we should confiscate small UTXOs. I am very smart
ok Mr. Enlightened Buttlicker, what is the maximum size of an unspendable UTXO next year or in five years? you don't know. nobody fucking knows.
core: push the centralization to L2, align mempool policy with consensus, say no to every useful upgrade
knots: push the centralization to L2, antagonize the few remaining devs who didn't already switch to altcoins, start an endless game of whac-a-mole, call everyone who disagrees a pedophile, say no to every useful upgrade
core is being slightly less retarded but they both have no plan. there is no plan to deal with L2 centralization that already exists today and is increasing. they just shoved it under the rug and pretend it doesn't matter. you go with core or knots, you still get the same outcome. centralization wins either way.
this is a documentary
lightning has convinced the infrastructure that centralization is a solution instead of a problem. it's a satanic inversion that undermines bitcoin
