I run a lightning node. I have to validate the Bitcoin supply in order to make off-chain payments (⚡). Your monero node doesn't validate the supply because depending when and what version you run, it can't 🤷

If I don't validate the supply every block, how can my lightning node know the state of the channel graph to construct payment routes? How can I know to reject peers trying to make payments through channels published with non-existent utxos? The answer is I have to 😅 Bitcoin is a monetary network where all economic actors can independently validate supply and publish transactions

What on earth is this manually-validate business? You need pen and paper, idiot?
