Many moons back, in 2015, there was a mining company. They rebranded and resold mining gear, then offered hosting. Then it devolved in to a classic Ponzi. Our machines were converted to "hashlets", little more than crappy graphics on a screen. Then, when that stage of the scam drew to it's inevitable demise, they evolved again, creating a whole new coin, with Wall St backing. Funny thing, the twat behind it actually was a protoge of a wall st wanker.
Anyway, long story short, the bell end is now in prison for robbing people.
Last time I fell for a scam.
You'll for one again. Well, you already did if you're invested in bitcoin. I won't invest until the lightning network essentially replaces the on chain/mining aspect of bitcoin. I think it may happen after every bitcoin is mined to be honest, and it's the only way bitcoin prevents an ultimate death in my opinion.

And the fact that lightning relies on "the on chain/mining aspect of bitcoin" doesn't bother you? How is it going to "replace" it, if it depends on it?

I don't think he understands bitcoin or lightning. If he has questions I'm sure there's enough smart people here who can help him though...

I don't think so either. Which is why I thought those questions might help him think about it.
Had I bothered to have a quick look at his profile first, I would not have even responded.
Lesson learned, thank you.
