> What is your criteria of failure here? You absolutely love saying “Bitcoin has failed” or “Lightning network has failed”, but at what?

Both rvz and I have been really clear about the failure

rvz: > Bitcoin has failed for on-chain payments as described in this article, this paper [0] and it's own white-paper.

Me: > bitcoin really did fail at its core goal of being a currency.

As I went on to say, the failure at being a currency doesn't preclude it finding success at something else (and its price suggests its finding it).
