- colinmhayes 4y agoLightning isn’t decentralized though. They just reinvented PayPal.
- tossl568 4y agoThat's completely untrue.
- imtringued 4y agoIt is federated PayPal.
- tossl568 4y agoNo it is not. It's a P2P payment network.
- swalsh 4y agoAvalanche lets you natively bridge bitcoin to their network, and it lets you transact fairly cheaply (think my last transaction was $.15) and their consensus algorithm can reach finality pretty quickly. Typically around 2 seconds. But it also has smart contract support.
- MacsHeadroom 4y agoSo does Solana, where transactions are $0.00001 and finalize faster than google's homepage loads.
- Solvitieg 4y agoFurther, Bitcoin fees are often below 50 cents. For a transaction of any size. https://mempool.space/ https://mempool.space/
