In the military terminology there is such a thing: The protection of already conquered land
let's first conquere the land which is easier to conquere, i.e. swapping Layer2
(swap of Visa/Mastercard for Lightning Network, where benefit is easy to show)
probably only then we will be able to swap Layer1 too, i.e. swapping stinky fiat money to sound money, at last :)
And no doubt Jack Mallers will try to achieve it! ;)
Why do you feel the need to defend an individual with personal interest in the growth of his USD-based remittance company? Strike sells dollars but advertises bitcoin. I can use USDC for this already in most markets. It’s a hype train with too much ego.

Mark my words, Mallers isn’t going to do anything to help Bitcoin—his company—and therefore personal gain—is tied up in building a cheaper USD remittance service. Sure, it uses LN, but in the most cucked statist way.
It’s trust fund baby bitcoin cosplay. Time to move on from this empty hype train.

Again... we are not here to replace visa with LN... We are here to make them all OBSOLETE, to fuck'em'all, not to keep using fiat.

That's exactly what I tell my family when they need me to send them money. It's very important to sacrifice people on the alter of my agenda.

If you want to wait until CBDCs will just ruin your "building Rome", be my guest.
But I do not want to build a Rome, I just want to be left alone, to live my life in peace and freedom.
And fiat in any form or shape is not freedom.
So I reject to use it.
