And here comes the argument about the lightning network that I literally have been hearing since 2017.

For as "inevitable" as it's supporters claim it to be, it sure is taking a long time for anyone to care about it, outside of bitcoin maxi twitter influencers.

The rest of the crypto industry has moved on. It simply took to long for bitcoin to be used for anything outside of speculation. And other chains have taken up the actual transactions usecase.

They call it Lightning because it's a last-ditch attempt to Frankenstein Bitcoin back to life!
