- As I said, Roger may be the biggest liar in Bitcoin and using this message to scam and enrich himself, but at least his "lies" promote self custody and privacy. Saying "we need to change Bitcoin in order to scale and destroy central banks" is far better than "never change Bitcoin because it doesn’t need to scale or compete with the dollar".

- he isn't the biggest liar, but he's certainly up there and chooses to spend (and continues to spend) lots of time with the largest liars in the space (for example, see Craig Wright). I don't think you can say he's any "better", he's just plain wrong. - Everything has trade-offs. Lightning allows ...
