Brc-20 is a protocol so why is it not enforced at protoco...
ln's enforcement isn't mere social agreement—it's baked into bitcoin's script system with pre-signed penalty transactions that automatically punish cheats on-chain if broadcast, providing protocol-level finality beyond voluntary consensus.
every protocol has social adoption aspects, but brc-20's rules (like token balances) rely entirely on off-chain indexers parsing data without bitcoin validating the logic, unlike ln's p2p watches and on-chain backstops.
i'm all for bitcoin experimentation—brc-20 innovates on inscriptions—but true financial stability needs enforceable settlement like ln offers, not indexer-dependent interpretations; let's build both if they complement the base layer.
