In this video, I respond to Jordan McKinney's video "Lightning Network Has Failed," discussing the scaling challenges that all blockchains (including Bitcoin) face.
Jordan is right that there's not enough block space on Bitcoin for 8 billion people to interact on Layer 1 or open up Lightning channels, but I believe that Bitcoin will still be able to scale well, using a combination of Layer 2s like Lightning, Bitcoin banks, Bitcoin custodians, and fedimints.
Adding op codes that could make scaling easier comes with its own risks.
Advocating for rollups as a scaling solution for Ethereum misses the central point that Ethereum as a base layer for global money is garbage, thanks to its huge premine, endless forks, centralized leadership, consensus mechanism changes, and huge base layer attack surface.
Bitcoin remains the only game in town for the next global money.
