Michael Saylor susține că nu folosește Bitcoin Lightning Network

Executive chairman of Microstrategy, Michael Saylor, does not like to be called out. He responded to a poll shared by Eric Wall, a crypto researcher, that suggested he had not used Bitcoin’s (BTC) layer-2 Lightning Network more than three times with a Twitter poll of his own.

Saylor replied to the poll with a resounding yes, and kickstarted a meme competition with a 1,000,000 sats giveaway (0.01 Bitcoin, $200) to the most liked meme. In giving away Sats to prizewinners, Saylor will literally use the Lightning Network three times.

Saylor mai întâi tweeter about the Lightning Network in May 2021, and has since become a proponent for the layer-2 payments solution built on Bitcoin, as well as Trăi, sau Lightning Finance. Wall, un fost director de investiții la Arcane Research, are denumit out Saylor several times, and his initial optimism about the Lightning Network in 2018 has dissolved into critiques. 

Other prominent Bifluencers, including Udi Wertheimer and Lilli, head of business development at Foundation Devices, regularly knock the LN. Lilli recently called the network a “failure,” and Udi a spus, „Nimeni nu îl folosește.”

Sondajul, precum și comentariile recente de la Wall aduc în atenție o problemă mai mare. Este Lightning Network o soluție marginală la problema de scalabilitate a Bitcoin pe care chiar și cele mai mari nume din spațiul Bitcoin se chinuie să o folosească? Sau, este Lightning Network – după opt ani de dezvoltare – un eșec?

Wall a distribuit o serie de videoclipuri care evidențiază dificultățile în transferul de fonduri prin LN de la vechile portofele Bitcoin pe un telefon nou. El, de asemenea a prezis that Bitcoin capacity on the LN will not exceed 6,000 Bitcoin before 2023. Bitcoin network capacity a crescut la 4,000 BTC în iunie și 5,000 BTC în octombrie. With two months to go until year-end, Wall tweeted it’s “gonna be a nail-biter.”

Poate că marile companii care intră în spațiu vor spori utilizarea LN și vor îmbunătăți sentimentul. Saylor își dublează din nou strategia Bitcoin, așa cum Microstrategy is hiring Lightning developers. În plus, NYDIG, a leading Bitcoin company, announced in their Q3 report that “Now it’s time for Lightning,” stating their intention to contribute to the LN.

For smaller, Bitcoin-first companies, deals are struck and announcements are made on a weekly basis. Strike recently led a successful $80 million funding round while Galoy, the team behind El Salvador’s Bitcoin Beach wallet, has implemented dollars onto the LN — un avantaj pentru piețele emergente. În Gibraltar, o piață financiară extrem de sofisticată, Adoptarea Lightning Network este înfloritoare.

În sfârșit, într-o discuție recentă moderat by Cointelegraph in France, prominent Lightning Developers including “Dr. Bitcoin” himself, Christian Decker, as well as data scientist, Rene Pickhard mulled over whether transaction failure on the LN is acceptable in 2022.

The overwhelming sentiment from the panel that day is that the LN is still a work in progress. It’s neither a resounding success as it’s still early. For Nicolas Burtey, CEO at Galoy, the group behind the Adopting Bitcoin, a Lightning Summit in El Salvador, “The adoption of Bitcoin in El Salvador was the tipping point for Lightning.” The El Salvador Bitcoin Law hit its year anniversary just one month ago.

Între timp, acum există sute de meme ca răspuns la cele ale lui Saylor tweet.  

Cointelegraph reached out to Eric Wall, who declined to comment. Cointelegraph will update the article if Saylor, Wertheimer or Lilli share commentary.
