However that use case is not a\nstrong argument for weakening Bitcoin's security to get to more scale\nfor that use case.\n\nIn a world where we could have scale and decentralisation, then of\ncourse it would be nice to provide people with that outlook more\nsecurity than they seem to want.  And sometimes people dont understand\nwhy security is useful until it goes wrong, so it would be a useful\nthing to do.  (Like insurance, your money being seized by paypal out\nof the blue etc).  And indeed providing security at scale maybe\npossible with lightning like protocols that people are working on.\n\nAdam"}
