I said it doesn’t make sense, but it does.. so if I work on something, I want it to be worth my time. Bitcoin is self-propagating by the laws of human nature. And a lot of people are still like “shiny” but nobody is using it. Except get coin, watch line. Nobody is asking what’s sustainable. The carrot 🥕 is on the stick and it keeps getting bigger with every new idea built on top of it, but the technology is a house of cards. The more users, the more features, the more likelihood it is to break. I have yet to see lightning transactions behave in a way I don’t expect, but that is not to be confused with the lightning button, unless you have to reload from your Zeus wallet.
I feel the longer we go the less likely it is to break. At least layer 1. I am not following some of what you said.

Im not finishing my thought completely cause I don’t know how much people want to read what my thumbs convey. Despite it taking longer to do, the more time spent is what appears to be the longer proof of work amount of time spent. There is also time spent on mining, to ackquire the copy of the blockchain that everyone is using. To validate transactions across it, using raw logic, from the very most painful parts of the brain to go down. The rabbit hole, as @darthcoin has alluded, goes as deep as you want it. The concept is as simple as keep your keys safe. That’s a lot of work and time to do when you have multiple safes, but if you don’t have money for safes, that kind of security risk can weigh on the brain.
