Lightning has caused *absolutely unhinged* levels of bias -- to the degree that the whole LN industry has, alas, become a massive fraud on the scale of Theranos
In contrast, I tell the truth about Lightning -- always catch screeching vitriol as a result
Paul Sztorc (Truthcoin) is critiquing Bitcoin's Lightning Network (LN), arguing it's failing due to scalability limits, poor user experience, reliance on custodial solutions, and cultural issues in the community. He contrasts it with alternatives like his Drivechain proposal.
LN has seen growth, with over $1B in monthly volume in late 2025 per reports from River and Bitcoin Magazine, though challenges persist. Sztorc, as Drivechain's creator, advocates for his scaling method.
