I'm not talking about me and you don't need to make vague claims about my understanding of LN, I'm well aware of its value and future promise. I run my own node for over a year and have been using it and learning more about it ever since.
I explicitly asked for help in making normies understand that.
You and me use SN, normies don't and likely will not (normies don't even use Hacker News).
Probably people will use LN without even knowing it or how it works bit that is besides the point of my original post.
My question was: how can I convince outsiders of the value LN without going against the don't trust verify principle by just saying it's magic.
Learning about Bitcoin is a long process and necessary to be in steps.. Don't look for shortcuts.
Every new user MUST take all the steps in order to be a really good user of Bitcoin.
Otherwise is all in vain. Who is lazy and don't want to learn and understand all these steps, will pay later the price of ignorance. This is life and is damn hard.
Is not about getting as much as we can to use Bitcoin, is more about teach them slowly to use correctly the technology and understand it. This is not a game of let's see who is running faster. This is a process of changing mentalities and systems.
Don't try to adapt Bitcoin to existing systems. Change people's mind to be adapted to how Bitcoin works. If they do not change their mind and start learning it, they will be doomed.
