Lightning vs Bitcoin: Separate Entities

Lightning and L2s? Not Bitcoin at all.

You're kidding, right? Lightning uses Bitcoin's protocols.

Lol yeah, some folks act like it's a religion.

But going back to centralization messes everything up.

Satoshi aimed for a decentralized system. It's not a flaw!

A lot of people just want Bitcoin as an investment though.

Some think it should rule everything to stay relevant.

Nice essay, but don’t act like you know more than us.

Seems like you straight-up ignored what I wrote.

I'm not using Lightning either. Too complicated for everyday stuff.

True, but at least you can move Bitcoin faster with it.

Yeah but holding Bitcoin on exchanges isn’t real Bitcoin.

Right, Lightning doesn't equal Bitcoin, just a faster way.

You can’t compare it to wallets tho, that’s different.

Why not? It’s not like wallets are all the same either.

Let's not mislead folks here about Lightning's role.

Um, what's this about off-chain being not Bitcoin?

So many things can fit into the Bitcoin ecosystem tho.

Got to agree here, Lightning doesn't solve the main issues.

Proof is in the pudding, El Salvador’s case shows it.
