The promise of Bitcoin Lightning was that it was supposed to be decentralized.
Some insisted that lightning wasn’t, because it required deposits to be able to receive, which encouraged only larger professional actors to act as centralized hubs. And then...
Ok he didn’t use those exact words, but we can tell by his abandoning the lightning network to promote Ark, which I wrote this brief description of:
So now they are pushing some new centralized mess that will take a decade to complete and have the same result as LN.
Or they can just increase the block size with about 10 minutes of effort, which should have been done 10 years ago. BTC has failed and continues to fail.
They have become experts at stalling progress to clear the way for CBDC's.
