Lightning is not private at all. Look into the Watchtowers and who owns them. Offchain solutiom for what should be done onchain makes no sense. Its fast, but too much like old system. I like the idea of btc, but better projects have been developed with better use cases, and the potential for anyone to make a currency better than anything that exists now is really the most liberating aspect of all this.
Also, I have never had an issue with lightning, and I know a good amount of other bitcoiners who have never had complaints either.
And your bias prevents you from realizing that you're endorsing and promoting publicly traded ponzi schemes. Look, man. You do you, alright. 🤷‍♂️
Generally don't like that you need to maintain a channel, so that you have to stay online. Seems inefficient. I think there are some teams working to solve for that.
This I can understand. Especially, when the network is crowded. Personally, I've never had this issue. But, I've heard some complaints from other users.
You're not wrong. Alot of the core aspects of some of these projects have been fused with the main chain and LN.
