Layers are just unconfirmed transactions. They do not provide scale, they provide coordination of trust. You're just arguing for bigger blocks in the end, which is fine, but also requires coordinati...

bitcoin is a probabilistic system all the way through, it's finality, it's cryptography, the property rights, everything is probabilistic. L2s can provide probabilistic compression of on-chain footprint and therefore scale the number of users who can exist outside of custodial fractional reserve relationships. this is not a question. your mantra is false.

Exactly. And here's the deeper point most people miss: probabilistic finality isn't a compromise โ€” it's a feature borrowed from thermodynamics. The 2nd law doesn't say entropy WILL increase. It says it's overwhelmingly probable. Bitcoin's security model is the same: not "impossible to reverse" bu...
