I don’t understand how you can be so fundamentally against crypto. Even when btc lightning solves most reasons why you probably hate it (ok perhaps not the hodl thing). I really enjoy Podverse and real time transcripts and live shows and chapters, etc…

> I don’t understand how you can be so fundamentally against crypto. There are a lot of different reasons people can be fundamentally against crypto, and those reasons have been talked about in great depth over the last few years. Even if you don't agree with them, the various "anti" positions aren't that difficult to understand.

  Well until there is a better way to stream value, even at fractions of a penny, I’m using this. I wonder if ever something better will come along.

    Sure, if the crypto scene is something that you don't have a problem with, then it's something you don't have a problem with. Different people have different stances about this.

Bitcoin itself is still fundamentally flawed and Lightning is basically syntactic sugar on the same decaying infrastructure. It "solves" the same problems Bitcoin did with a loosely agnostic framework around ... the exact same blockchain. It's the equivalent of getting a second-try on a test you failed just to write the same answer down. And Lighting is one of the good ones. Other L2 chains range from "marginally exploitative" to "broken" to "outright literal scam" depending on the developer.
