Yes I've heard of it. So bitcoin is this but better. I agree with you.

  Faster than bitcoin, cheaper than bitcoin, easier to use than bitcoin, more reliable than bitcoin, far more widely accepted than bitcoin. Hmm...

  lol even the main people behind Bitcoin Core development have abandoned the idea of Bitcoin serving as means of day-to-day small transactions.

    Why would it be the responsibility of one layer to deal with another layer?
    • Ar-Curunir 6y ago
      This separation of layers nonsense is only something that’s been proposed to cover up flaws in the core protocol. The original paper didn’t envision a store of value, but rather a means of daily transactions

        Perhaps. But while Satoshi is clearly a genius. Give the guy a break, he’s not a fortune teller. Many current day protocols have improvements needed but that’s besides the point.

          > he’s not a fortune teller Many have speculated he may be a time traveler, although they don't give any reason. The only thing I can think of is he possibly traveled back in time after witnessing a massive economic downturn that had people eating rats off the street and an even further (much more serious) dichotomy of rich and poor. Bitcoin could level the playing field stopping banks from having nearly full monopoly of your money.
