The criticism seems to boil down to (1) it’s not ready yet and (2) we don’t know if it will be enough. The answer to (1) is “yes, duh” and the answer to (2) is “yes but it’s better than anyone else”. Add to this the fact that Bitcoin has scaling problems because it has scale. On that note I gave up trying to download the Monero blockchain after a week, and downloading the Eth blockchain is a nightmare. I think a lot of these people bitching about scaling have never run a full node. |

Surely, you mean a "full-validating, non-mining node"? Asks our wordsmith colleague jbreher.  |

As noted by another poster, our guy Masterluc got his account on TradingView disabled. (yesterday at 12:37 pm) TradingView busted me whether it's the account, or the ideas. I do not know what I broke there. Well, fck them.
Where is that quote from Masterluc taken from? cause his account on bitcointalk was hacked the other day If's from VKontakte, his main outlet recently. https://vk.com/bitcoin_vangaCool, thanks. |

I hope (and believe) we will see the last dip today, before going up again for an extended period. The bottom, as they say. I set my orders accordingly.

Same here. My last hopelessy-low-will-never-get-filled buy order got almost half filled. Undecided if I should place another just 50$ lower. Hmmm... maybe not until this one gets cleared. On a related note, please keep posting, everyone! The more we post (especially memes with TITS!), the better we'll be off when we're back to WOPC parity later this year. |

Many of the lightning network "fair criticisms" come off as a bunch of silly-ass premature whiners, making up a bunch of speculated bullshit. |

Aren't you going to run out of money, sooner or later, if you keep setting your never, ever ever ever ever, to be filled buy orders only $50 below the previous buy order with the same title?  unless you happen to be one of those banks with printing authority, aka unlimited fiat. |

Well, most is, but some is a little off. As an example, I agree adoption is the main point, but I haven't heard about bugs biting and making developers lose testnet funds recently. Also, the route-finding problem is exaggerated. It is impossible to guarantee an optimal (shortest) route is found, but quite feasible to find just any route. If channels live long enough, a store-and-forward policy could take care of that. Also, opening and closing channels can become much cheaper with some new proposed pooling/batching protocols. You just open many channels at once and share the fees. Things will only get better with Schnorr signatures. <tinfoil>Do you know/can you find out the guy's track record? It sounds a bit like undercover shilling.</tinfoil> it's like it was written six weeks ago. Banfield used to be ok, sort of a bog-standard core- tard.supporter maybe he's been got at by now, a la Daniel Krawicz, idk. skim some of his email newsletters? your insights in this thread are gr8 |

Sooner or later, yes, unfortunately. But I'm still good - I haven't sold grandma yet. |

Shaking the weak hands off a bit more and some more credit card FUD making the rounds. Maybe going down lower than < $8.5K. I predict this week will see a big rise in the entire crypto market and we will be comfortably over 12K again in a week's time.  |
