Liquid reminds me of an PoS. In fact worse than PoS. Liquid don't even stake. No cost for mining. Free money for middleman. Wow๐๐๐

Well there are people who claim miners are the custodians.
But I think thatโs a lazy argument as miners are profit seekers.
If the donโt mine sidechain txs they lose out on business and will be outcompeted by a miner who does mine sidechain txs.
The idea of a chain makes me instinctively reject it. It's not just stubbornness, a blockchain which plebs can't run node is nonsense.
Of course, I don't know the right answer of Bitcoin scalability, but I do know the wrong answer.
Bitcoin is the currency on the sidechains. You call them later 2s if that sounds better.
But I personally I am biased as I would love to have end-2-end encrypted btc transactions via Monero type sidechain.
*layer 2s
Despite what I look like on #Nostr, I believe I'm pretty open-minded and inquisitive. Someday, I realize that you are right, I'll support it.
Thank you๐ค

Liquid is also permissioned defeating the whole point of bitcoin
DO NOT USE LIQUID.
There are no such thing as *miners* performing PoW as you might think.
Fees are sent to wallet controlled by bLoCStReAM.
