The anyone-to-anyone capacity of the Lightning Network is 0 TPS.
#LightningNetwork can't do that. You're lying. The #Lightning IOU coffee payments network only has 16,888 holders of sats on routable nodes. They can't send millions of IOUs per second. Dear reader: @BitcoinMagazine is lying, as is habitual for them.
You're comparing an L2 with L1's. Big fan of Lightning but seems a bit misleading
Except lightning still doesn’t work 8yrs later. It can never work properly without massive centralization due to the traveling salesman problem.
We envision a future where the majority of global payments are made using #Bitcoin
Are you going to run on XRPL or on Stellar? 😂
Note that the lightning speed is only theoretical. It hasn't scaled that much today. Which means we are so early.
False information
why comparing BTC L2 with ETH L1? its the same idea as you compare ETH L2 with Bitcoin L1...

[10:26] 💰 Tether’s Taproot Asset Protocol = Stablecoin Revolution: Tether is routing USDT on #Lightning using the Taproot Asset Protocol, enabling fast, low-fee transfers. [20:30] 🏦 US Treasuries + Bitcoin = The Future of Finance: Tether is earning billions from US Treasury coupons, outpacing BlackRock. With banks eyeing Bitcoin-backed stablecoins, is traditional finance being forced to evolve? [31:16] 🚀 Lightning Network = Banking Disruption: With 21,000 nodes and near-zero fees, Lightning is a serious threat to Visa/Mastercard. “Processing USD transactions over Lightning is practically free.” [34:00] 🌍 Bitcoin’s Endgame? Global Payment Rails: USDT’s total volume is nearing Visa’s $16T annual volume. Microtransactions are already happening—are we witnessing the beginning of the end for traditional banking?
