Lightning hasn’t fixed BTC
Lightning hasn’t fixed BTC
I think some people have already accepted that BTC is a store of value and is as unsuitable for real world use as a brick of gold.
But I still regularly hear people say “lightning fixes this” or similar. If I scrolled far enough through my history I’d probably find that in my own comments.

WHY do multifruit trees exist?
All the ingredients for fruit salad on one tree! These artificially bred trees are capable of "producing" up to 8 different types of fruit simultaneously.
Multifruit trees are created using "grafting," a sexless breeding technique in which tissues from one plant are inserted into another so that they can mate. There are four kinds of "fruit trees."
- Peach, plum, nectarine, apricot, and peach-apricot trees;
- Citrus trees - oranges, mandarins, lemons, limes, grapefruit, pomelo and tangelo;
- Multi-apples - different varieties of apples;
- Multi-pears - various types of pears.
