Lightning isn't really using Bitcoin is it?
The strike app (which uses Lightning) is not available worldwide which really doesn't give the image that Bitcoin lightning is decentralised at all.
- tenuousemphasis 5y agoIt is, all Lightning transactions are valid Bitcoin transactions. Strike merely uses the Lightning network, similar to how Coinbase uses the Bitcoin network. Coinbase and Strike aren't available everywhere, but Bitcoin and Lightning is.
