First off they need to learn how to spell Lightning, but I understand hiring editors or reputable writers is hard Coindesk.

Second, wrapped bitcoin is custodial bitcoin so congrats of tricking the fools into your bullshit yield products.

Third, PUBLIC capacity. There's close to 1 million UTXOs that could be apart of private lightning channels currently.

Let the shitcoiners circle jerk themselves and then in a few years go "oh no who could have seen this coming" when it collapses or is full of hacks.

and 4th, there's no such thing as "bitcoin locked" in LN... are simply sats ready to be used for payments.

Cheers!

apples/oranges comparison (one is a state channel network for p2p payments, the other is a blockchain network mainly for financial contracts) but still, good for them. let's hope their bridge is more secure than the others that have been hacked in the last couple of years.

This was mostly my feeling. Just curious what other's thoughts were. I figured it was yield chasers and people experimenting with other defi use cases. I did find it interesting though.

Thanks for your input!
