@kenraphael - interesting post... on the Lightning Network and other "side chains" to Bitcoin. I don't fully understand all these side chains- only that they are exchanges that allow for quicker processing of Bitcoin transactions that will eventually be written to the main Blockchain or something to that effect.
Now they tell us- this is Centralization. Centralizing the Decentralization...? ;) Doesn't make much sense to me. I thought that Decentralization was the catalyst for this new frontier of Cryptocurrencies? Oh, well I hope that there continues to be more progress in the crypto world & new avenues of finance and opportunities abound for everyone.
Great post, keep up the nice work. Upvoted!!
