lemme see if i have this straight - bitcoin core is somehow tied (loosely?) with blockstream, who apparently can't be trusted cause they took bank money. Core wants to implement segwit - allowing, later, blockstream's LN.
on the other hand, we have bitcoin unlimited, who want... well, i'm honestly not sure, but something besides segwit? and LOTS of people here don't trust THAT, parlty due to a recent exposure of a major bug.
or, to sum up - jack shit has been solved regarding scaling in years of arguing.
good job guys.
LN isn't from Blockstream, Drya and Poon came up with it (expanding other people's work). They don't work for Blockstream. Blockstream has some people working on LN (2 IIRC), but there are many teams working on a LN implementation (while coordinating with each other so these implementations can communicate with eachother properly.on the other hand, we have bitcoin unlimited, who want... well, i'm honestly not sure, but something besides segwit? and LOTS of people here don't trust THAT, parlty due to a recent exposure of a major bug.

Claims that bitcoin is being capped to profit from a monopoly on LN usage are also hogwash, since LN is an open-source protocol, just like bitcoin.
ah. well hell, i was close.
actually the latest goes somthing like this
google created blockstream covertly, blockstream bought some core devs ( the right ones ), in an attempt to centralize development and usage of bitcoin, so that google can rain ruler of the world once all LN payments are backed by the onchain BTC they control
BU is a bunch of bitcoiners who dont have a clue.

...which we can't prove at all, and of course can't DISprove either.
also, based on the last twenty years, i don't know that i'd complain much about google ruling the world...
