"We're trying to turn Bitcoin into a real global payment network"
- Bitcoin already has a payment network, it's called lightning
- It wasn't built by anyone at Lightspark
- They're merely basking in the glory of true builders of the space without putting much work and instead offering an overpriced & proprietary API

Given that when you google Lightspark most results are about a Flash player (!), I would say that they face an uphill battle. :)

I don't like the way this was framed. As if the global payment network doesn't yet exist. It does! It needs to be larger, more distributed, and more resilient but it exists already.

Is this just another Strike play then? Valid use case for lightning nevertheless.

"It's ginormous"
He's pretty excellent at the gap bridging, always reorienting back to analogy.
