Makes me wonder if LBRY went with Lightning instead of creating a shitcoin token they would probably still be around today and maybe even integrating with Nostr.

My quasi-skeptic approach to cryptocurrency:

- Build it without crypto

- If you build it with crypto, base it off Bitcoin.

Anything else might as well be a product based on a pump-and-dump shitcoin. There is only one cryptocurrency, and Satoshi is its prophet.

Agreed, though Satoshi isn't a prophet or messiah. Just a pseudonym.

It was a tongue-in-cheek reference to There is only one God and Muhammad is its prophet.

Naw, because LN non-custodial UX sucks, and custodial wallets are being disabled in the US.
