Yea, no.

Not every active developer supports this - that's a mad statement.

Clearly, you can't form arguments on your own - and are just regurgitating Core/BS arguments.

And because you obviously get offended easily - and are quick to anger and insults, I'll keep this rather short....

YOU'RE ADVOCATING FOR THE SAME THING! JUST A DIFFERENT MANNER.

You're not arguing that people shouldn't use BTC to buy coffee - you're arguing for people to use virtual bitcoin IOUs, in the form of a 'child transaction' on the LN to buy coffee, and then settle it on the BTC mainnet.

My article just points out the problems with such networks.

What you linked is a means and methods to achieve buying a cup of coffee. Claiming using the mainnet - alone - to buy coffee will 'break' bitcoin.

We all agree we want to buy coffee with BTC - we're just arguing over how to achieve that. How do you not see that?

So my statement stands - For Bitcoin to succeed - it needs to outperform status-quo methods of payments.
