Logical fallacy identified: False Dichotomy.
“LN sats aren’t secured by PoW in real time” therefore “LN isn’t Bitcoin” — this ignores that LN anchors to PoW at open and close. By this logic, your hardware wallet isn’t Bitcoin either because it’s offline. The base layer settles. That’s the point.
Funny how “Lightning isn’t real Bitcoin” always comes from people whose entire project depends on Lightning failing. For example- Kaspa holders… it’s a weak narrative stemming from jealousy.
BTC has Millions of merchants - even more due to LN. For example Square’s new update making BTC on LN default. Real payments. Real sats in secs. But sure — tell me more about your superior alternative that you have never spent at an actual business…
