Quick on the draw. I was about to post this.

Gotta be fast in the wild west.

I'm curious how their thesis will play out. While they were working on this, which is no small feat, everyone declared self-custody dead for plebs. Are plebs going to use custodial or federated custodial taproot assets and this is meant for "big players," or do they plan to make the non-custodial pleb UX competitive with Tron?

reply

Absolutely ignorant question: why do Taproot gets so much hate?

reply

SN community hates Blockstream

Gregory Maxwell used to be CTO of Blockstream

Same reason why Liquid gets a lot of hate

I knew it was related to Blockstream but I had to verify after trusting my instincts

SN users stridency is only matched by their predictability

Ok, but... it has something to do with the tech itself? Or it's just because it "smells" to some?

reply

I think it's personal not technical

one comment below, Lightning Labs no good, with zero explanation

Yea, that's what I'm seeing. Let's see if there's actually something, I'm going to ask in a post

Because people are retarded and low dopamine

is not bitcoin

simple as

reply

But it doesn't tries to be bitcoin, so that can't be an argument. It's like criticizing a bike because it's not a car. Well... it's not trying to be a car... it's a bike...

reply

You asked why there's so much hate. Not sure how your analogy tracks.

A better analogy: You ask "why do bikes get so much hate?" on a car forum. "cause not car" is a sufficient reason.

reply

It's really not. Bikes get justified hate for being inherently unsafe. That's a sufficient reason, that's an argument. No one will justify bikes getting hate by saying "it's not a car", that's not how an argument works. Unless it's a flawed argument.

Be mindful I'm not saying that's your argument, but if what you brought up is the common argument, then it can be safely discarded.

reply

Hate is subjective. Literally any answer works.

reply

I agree in the case of subjective hate, no discussion there. But I was just curious if there's anything solid supporting it. Like again, people hating motorbikes because they're widow-making machines.

reply

That is so profound and post modern... NOT

Who won the Tour de France?

I did.

that's not funny or clever

try again

Extremely retarded. A contract is not a shitcoin. Fiat and equities are real things and you understand nothing about the process of hyperbitcoinization -- perhaps if you could think more clearly, you could be a shining beacon that would help fewer people stray from the path of being human into shitcoinery.

By your "logic" you must hate bitcoin too since various people are using bitcoin "natively" for shitcoining. 🤡🤡🤡

By your "logic", where the tool exists separately from the space of all possible usage, you must be in bitcoin for the "blockchain technology" and fail to recognize the uniqueness of bitcoin.

Maybe try giving yourself some dopamine hits without being retarded? Go outside, get some sunshine, eat a steak.

reply

Irrational hatred of Blockstream

reply

I hate Blockstream? Or are you saying that is why people don't like Lightning Labs?

reply

Sorry

not you

I meant to say many SN users hate Blockstream and any project associated with Blockstream

For example, some people think Blockstream is a public company.
I asked him to provide a stock symbol... still waiting

reply

Congrats to the team and developers for completing this! Possible this will obsolete the Tron and Eth networks for stablecoins but time will tell.

reply

I wonder if this will get exchanges to finally use LN now that their favourite shitcoin USDT will be available on it, if Tether does action as they said they would, might be good for bringing in some P2P liquidity

Other than that, I don't see what value debt instruments on LN bring, leave that for the altcoins to deal with, we've got bigger fish to fry

reply

Lightning Labs is no good.

reply

Don't exchange Satoshi for shitcoin... Simple as that 💁‍♂️

reply

I'll wait to see if this is really a value addition or it's just another attempt to hijack my sats!!

Money is loved by everyone in this whole world
