The LN is a 2nd decentralized network that uses the BTC network. In itself it doesn't change BTC by the very fact that it is a second layer technology. Limiting the blocksize does of course change BTC. The LN doesn't.
ED just gets nuttier and nuttier the longer he stays in this thread. Having such an ideological chip on one's shoulder must be exhausting on a level most of us cannot comprehend.
You keep defending Capitalist system & people that have been rotting society from within, creating wars all the time & you think I am a nut?
Just because private prisons are horrible. Privately produced guns, tanks, bombs (everything)...The issue is not that things are produced privately it is that the state is an extortion
You have no idea what Socialism means, and you don't understand what Capitalism is. Maybe this should help you
racket and uses this stolen money (like a mafia organisation) to pick winners and losers in what ought to be a free market. Everyone hates monopolies and they ALWAYS are state granted!
Mafia are also business people only difference is their business is made illegal by the state. What makes you think Capitalists business do things fairly? Are you really that naive?

Lot of people know Corporations do shit and evil, many call them out, but hardly anyone calls it by the real name... CAPITALISM. Its that system that allows it all to happen.
InstaPay: An instant payment that settles in the blockchain in 10 minutes on average. (Receivers of large sums can wait for settlement to remove any theoretical risk of fraud)
0-conf isn't particularly appealing to new users from a marketing perspective. We should come up with a new phrase that encapsulates "near instant transactions at minimal cost" to attract new users. Reply with ideas.
insta-payment = 0-conf
Insta-payments are irreversibly settled in the blockchain in 10 minutes (average). Receivers of large-value payments may want to wait for the settlement.
I agree, the only thing governments should be doing is providing essential services to the public like universal healthcare. It should not be used as a system of control.
And remember that government is meant to be elected by the people, meaning they should do the policies they promote during elections, which is why we elect them & not to serve the rich
for the sake of the argument assume thats true: it weakens your argument. gov takes money from 'workers' buys guns then 'kills communists.' 'capitalists' not involved.
Capitalists are not only involved as they control government policies, they also profit massively from all these wars. Capitalists win 2 fold: kill Communism & war profiteering.
But Capitalists are involved, they control the government. Why else would the government not tax the Capitalists? And Communists are being killed in the name of Capitalism.
Its not really this hard. Gov. should have no or very minimal power over individuals.
