I assure you that your definition of peer and real world are different than mine.\n\n\u003e people on the street want USDT on TRON\n\nLightning or Bitcoin doesn't exist to beat fiat on UX, no one uses Gold for payments either, yet its 10x the market vs. Bitcoin\n\n\u003e  all you have is a PWA\n\nLightning.Pub is a headless server with an SQL database and an RPC that installs on pretty much any OS in less than a minute.\n\n\u003e CLINK is not ready for the real world\n\nThe reference server hasn't even hit 0.1.0 yet.\n\n\u003e you want to convince me to start using this other Lightning thing\n\nI don't want to convince you of anything, if you want to use fiat shitcoins for better UX while others go right ahead. The Lingua Franca of 21M will continue to spread fine without you. Anything worth doing is hard.\n\n\u003e current leadership\n\nI have no leaders, only sheep need a shepherd. Is Lightning full of sheep? Sure is. That leaves plenty of green field for me on the other side of the hill."}
