Why don't people talk about mercury more? I rarely hear it mentioned
reply
Because mercury didn't come out before LN.
If would be already a usable thing in 2017-2018 or even 2019, maybe would have some traction. But now that LN took the place, is not interesting anymore and slowly will be forgotten. Why? Because LN is getting better and better every month.
All other so called "solutions to scale" failed to appear when were needed.

I still can't find one uber driver or taxi driver who knows what a 'lightning' wallet is.
What are they waiting for?
I personally think lightning is amazing... and I also believe it's easy to use overall with a little education and patience - however it's hard to 'get people there' unless they are natively interested in Bitcoin.
All these tools, wallets, apps, resources... they're great but do someone no good if they don't want to do the hard work and study why Bitcoin is special and how to use it. It's kind of a huge mystery
There's ONLY one L2: LN
All the rest are garbage promises. Especially Liquid that is NOT a L2.
