Look right here on Stacker News.
We have a community here where you can quite easily attach LN wallets and perform most transactions via the LN using sats.
But many here who loudly and frequently talk about LN and BTC and technical aspects of adoption do not attach wallets, or only attach a receiving wallet meaning they can receive sats but cannot send them.
The prime example of this is @Darthcoin who is probably the most prolific and outspoken 'BTC Maxi living on The Bitcoin Standard' who frequently posts about LN and BTC but here on Stacker News refuses to attach LN wallets and only uses CC inhouse tokens, never using LN or BTC.
I call these big talk no walk 'BTC Maxis' hypocrits.
Stacker News is a community where we could help increase the volume scale and liquidity of the LN but many can't be bothered.
Recently the SNs devs have sided with the group not attaching and showing attached LN wallets by now concealing stackers wallet status by default.
It is imo opinion tragic that this opportunity to help strengthen and grow LN capacity is being undermined by loud bullying hypocrits like @DarthCoin but his style of bullying posturing trolling hypocrisy seems to be popular and to have won over the majority.
Countries? Bitcoin is borderless, do not care about countries. Perhaps I’m being overly optimistic seeing adoptions escalating in the near future as I try to use sats wherever I can, regardless of the country I’m in. I believe real progress depends on the communities we build— even if Bitcoin doesn’t scale globally right away, we can make it scale within our own circles.
