>bitcoin doesn't scale
but it does... it scales naturally by letting excess traffic spill over into other chains. it is regrettable that this usually necessitates a new currency or a dodgy IOU, the trust assumptions get worse, and the new chain doesn't give transaction fee revenue to bitcoin miners. ethereum is the #1 bitcoin scaling solution, bigger than lightning, liquid, cashu, spark, and arkade combined. this benefits ethereum more than it benefits bitcoin. even spark benefits lightspark more than it benefits bitcoin. the users are the biggest losers here. you will be stuck with a cuckold chain for as long as you keep wasting time on lightning.
the drivechain idea is more closely aligned with the way that bitcoin scales naturally. it's just a clever way to enable what is already happening to benefit bitcoin the most. I don't even care if it won't be called "drivechain" or if it uses covenant opcodes instead of hashrate escrows. the idea fits more neatly into observable reality.

>The irony is that a de minimis exemption doesn't even make sense for stablecoins. They're pegged to the dollar. They don't fluctuate in value.
but they do... the "canonical bridge" between USDC and USD has failed before resulting in a temporary loss of peg. people have bought USDC for 92 cents.
not to mention defi. there are situations where USDC can trade a fraction of a cent above or below its face value in different places. complex financial instruments are already in production harvesting this arbitrage. there ARE capital gains here.
we are having these silly games because USDC is not a real dollar and the government still thinks it is a type of property. they want to tax even the normal micro-fluctuations that cause it to deviate from its peg.

this is the only way you can scale lightning to large numbers of people. the only way to "fix" lightning right now is by making it centralized and adding trust assumptions. you can bitch all you want about spark but you should redirect your frustration to the lack of building blocks available on L1. premature ossification will just lead to things like spark.
it is time to think about doing better. covenant opcodes are most likely the next building blocks to get added.

spark/arkade self-custody is a gray area.
if you have money in spark that you want to send or withdraw and the creepy centralized company is not cooperating, you can do a unilateral exit. this is very hard and potentially costs more than your entire balance. none of the consumer friendly spark enabled wallets have it as a built in feature. you must perform an arcane ritual with dev tools, and every single one of your VTXOs needs to be unrolled to L1 using layers of fancy and expensive taproot transactions. you'll hate it and think it's awful.
there is an edge case where lightspark can collude with a person who previously sent you money in order to double spend it, by using keys corresponding to an older state of your VTXO that they pinky promised to delete. they have no way of proving that they cannot do this save for "we used an intel TEE" or some silly nonsense like that.
these statechain protocols also implement centralized stablecoins. you can even see it in blitz wallet today. while they are floating around in the statechain they are designed to be freezable. maybe these are taproot assets that the L1 can potentially understand, but even if you wanted to try and exit them to L1 nobody uses them on L1 and they will be useless.

It is becoming more apparent to a lot of people that Lightning is not what we were told it would be 8 years ago. The way that autistic computer nerds claim to use it is not scalable. For mass adoption it totally depends on these centralized rube goldberg machines like Spark. Users don't get everything they were promised.
Users need a better alternative. If you look at how much centralization Lightning has already created, it makes small conservative blocksize increases more attractive. Small blocksize increases would have introduced less centralization vs. what centralization Lightning has already introduced. We know this now! We got a bad deal.
If we went in the other direction, by now we would be talking about activating more opcodes so we can have safer and more efficient sidechains. We wouldn't be complaining about Spark. It wouldn't exist!
It's time to stop listening to people who constantly lie to you about centralization.
