The two parts you quoted aren't as different as you claim, and are still more correct than the one they're responding to:

>They are using lightning wallets.

If your real intent is to improve discussion, maybe you should address that instead of erroneously invoking the "move the goalposts" fallacy. Moreover, I think both comments had substance to them, especially when compared to, again, the original comment about the lightning network.

Do you know the ground truth about which apps, nodes, and Layer 2 protocols are being used by El Salvadorans right now? If not then all of these are just posts in a chain of speculation. I don't, and I'm not going to claim that I know what's happening. But invoking suspicion to make a strong claim isn't the way to have an effective or illuminating conversation.
