Providing a opened developing progress is a better choice. But I haven't found that. Open participation is important for open source projects. We can get more confidence.
Everyone can use the protocol as designed and compete from there. Bitcoin is not a jobless developers sandpit for their stupid experimentation. The protocol was defined by Satoshi.
Let me try to use an example. There might be more sustainable revenue (fees) created from memo users than from speculators and especially holders. Speculators are hardly users.
While I certainly think scaling big is the crucial factor, the main problem to overcome is to make subsidies a minor factor in the incentives scheme. Establish road to sustainability
Speculators seem to be important right now. But rather sooner than later they won't matter, only users will. Otherwise, we are stuck with inflation schedule and bitcoin will die.
Because miners revenue is still driven by subsidies. But like every subsidy, it creates markets distortion. As a speculators node, it will have no power when the price is decoupled.
Core hijacked Satoshis invention and bastardized it to a socialist experiment where POW doesn't matter and your full node gives you voting rights. Also zero conf works.
BSV want to get as close to the protocol as initially described and released by Satoshi. Removing unnecessary changes and limits added later by core. ABC wants further constant changes
ROI of the largest LN hubs is 0.011%/year
The 20 LNBIG Lightning Network nodes have processed 80k payments and collected 5.74 USD in fees in the last month. Extrapolating, thats $68.88 per year

That ROI is worth it in such a low risk and low volatility environment 🤣
Once you open the possibility you open it for everything. And it's mentioned BTW in the BIP. Full LN if someone will want it. I think it's cool. Miners will love it.
Sure pay taxes to buy up armies that invade other countries that kill innocent children because you gave them money to buy bombs. Lets change our system to a voluntary based revenue
#Bitcoin gives another previously nonexisting dimension to solutions of many problems. The one can't afford anymore his mind to only look at technical solutions and not consider economic ones.
