Babe, my Lightning node went down, I can't remote in to get it up right now, we'll just have to wait until I get home to debug, so my wallet isn't working.
I've got like 10 bucks on me for parking, you'll have to pay for dinner, i'll send you the sats back!

I am always open to discussions, and happy to take the time to verify things myself, if you can point me in the right direction, I run my own node, I have my own lightning node, I've tried liquid I actively use these things now
I've used EVM chains like ETH, BSC, I've tried out MATIC, I've used TRON they're all pretty much variant flavours of the same flaws.

No bridging is differnet, you're essentially sending your coins to a Bitcoin multi-sig and then a custodian lets say BitGo issues a token on lets say Ethereum and you get token BTC on ETH,
Its claimed to be backed, but there's no real way to enforce that on-chain, if you want to reclaim the Bitcoin you have to hope once you return the tokens to the smart contract the custodian will release the bitcoin back to you on the main chain.
I think you're always taking economic risk moving to another blockchain/L1, if you price any other chains native asset in bitcoin you can see its a straight downward trajectory pricing in sats
You also have little oversight into other chains, how many chains can you run a node on cost effectively? You're just taking that chain at their word and interacting with 3rd parties, like ETH you trust the validitors, you trust the code, you trust the wallet provider, you trust the nodes, you trust the cloud service provider the validators.
How do you verify anything when the cost to eliminate all those 3rd parties and use the chain directly prices most people out?

2024-06-08 21:39:15

- reply

I think there is a lot of PTSD after failed custody in the past, we've seen so many ruggings with exchanges and that was when BTC was cheap as chips to move on-chain now that it's not the case or not always the case its' encouraging the custody model
The simplistic answer is every scaling option that doesn't allow full unilateral exit is a shitcoin, but reality isn't simplistic and people are dynamic and can choose the risk they are comfortable with using.
In the end opinions are only one part of it, and the market demand is the real test, no one has it figured out, and by trying is how we learn, yes there will be failures along the way and lost capital but that's the cost of doing business

2024-06-08 21:35:03

- reply

From my understanding you could "bridge" Bitcoin to another L1, but it's always a half baked solution, since you give over custody to get an IOU on the other L1 with no way to enforce the IOU or exit without trusting the custodian, like we see with wrapped Bitcoin.
Then you might as well just use a federated model like fedi or liquid, at least you're distributing the custody risk across multiple custodians.
So far I haven't seen anything that can hit all the requirements you list above, something has always gotta give in the trade off

I don't know what you mean, Bitcoin isn't going to outpace inflation unless their is demand, demand can only be driven by people who have capital they don't plan to consume today, people only have capital by producing something
As for remote work, no I don't agree, we all have different skills that are distributed among the population, we need division of labour for this whole big thing to run, some have the skills that work in a digital economy, others don't!
