What if Lightning isn't going to be the killer protocol that consumers directly interact with in order to make their payments online? What if, just like the blockchain itself, it simply winds up being a piece of a settlement layer that other things are built on top of?
Would that be the end of the world? Would that be a failure of Lightning? I would argue absolutely not. From the very beginning of development on Lightning it was incredibly clear what its scaling limitation would be. The whitepaper literally brings up the issue of not getting support for softforks needed in the future as a limitation of Lightning's potential scalability.
Yes. Not just for his technical proficiency and willingness to engage on controversial topics, but I've found people's reactions to Shinobi to be high-signal to know who to ignore to improve my btc SNR.
I wonder if it's like Pete McCormack not knowing what xpubs are. It's like, fine, it's a tiny but complicated. But now his ignorance is performative and stupid.
Great article.
Shinobi with the context.
Shinobi is a treasure.

And he doesn't code a lick. Bitcoin is full of example like this too. It's so magnetic it even attracts the "wrong" pole.
Holy shit, really? How is that even possible?
Right?! He's just that into bitcoin.
I recall him saying he couldn't code in his What Bitcoin Did - Bitcoin Tech series.

Ah true, you'd imagine he's picked up at least some coding along the way
