The success we have with Tor, I2P, and VPN cannot be replicated with those currencies that do not rely on nodes...





This is really an eye opener...

Thinking about all the years of stress, arguing, emotions, shouting, banning, and censorship that started in r/bitcoin... This really puts some perspective as to why they went through all the trouble of converting BTC into a "run your own node" system.





They were desperate, so they attack the only vulnerable point of bitcoin... the community.

They turned it into a monstrosity that is Lightning Network. Everybody needs to run a node in this system. /MoronicSystem.





The Email Phenomenon

Remember when email first came out?

Nobody gave a shit about email then because everybody needed to run a server node in order to send and receive mail. If it wasnt for Hotmail solving this problem, email would never have been revolutionary.

Hotmail innovated a system wherein people won't have to run server nodes anymore, and that's when email exploded and revolutionized the world.

Now imagine an angry community trying to convince people to go backwards and start running email server nodes again... How moronic is that?

That's exactly what happened to bitcoin. We didnt need to hassle ourselves with the stupidity of running nodes, but Blockstream took the technology back the to middleages. They crippled the main layer so now they have to run nodes.

All for the sole purpose of hi-jacking it.





Wanna know how hard it is to run nodes? Here are the links. And ask yourself if your parents will be able to do this.





And here's the absolute stupidity of tipping people on LN:





Bitcoin was hi-jacked. It all makes sense.
