(My biggest critique of Lightning at the protocol layer is that it should have been a web-spec and not have introduced p2p gossip fragility)\n\nIf the NGO's are successful in astroturfing Bolt12 into current Bolt11 flows, it'll cause even more friction and failures, leading people to use middlemen like Square and fake L2 scams to access the network. \n\nThat is their goal. They want people to give up the ship. Lightning dooming and shitcoinery is playing right into their hands."}
