Bitcoin doesn't have split UTXO's, that's total nonsense... not your UTXO not your coin. There's no crypto-theatrics at the application level that change that.

At the end of the day you're sacrificing trust/security to try gaining (dubious) efficiency, maybe you wouldn't have to market it as Bitcoin for people that can't actually afford Bitcoin if scammers like Rearden could be honest about it.

If you really just wanted to stick it to Liquid over the poverty use-case I could see that, but there needs to be repent on directly affinity scamming Lightning first.
