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 say...
I cant speak for others, but no, I am arguing that onchain scale ultimately limits active users to the millions, and if you compress too many in a layer, you quickly get cascading issues interacting directly with onchain blockspace limits. 2-week windows become too expensive to enforce, channels become trusted, etc.
It's just admitting that Bitcoin has a size. You can increase blockspace, but you can't gain meaningful scale via layering to even 10 million active users in current conditions.
Will users tolerate regular blocksize increases so layers can slowly scale at pretty much the same proportion to onchain? Or will they tolerate their channels requiring regulation due to being trusted?
Note, I AM a Lightning provider since the beginning.
