A simple troll, who will say anything to misinform, gaslight, and spread Fear Uncertainty Doubt. The same trolls many posters are scared of debating here in the forum.


I couldn't find the link as well. Someone I follow posted that screenshot.

Thanks bud. I wasted 10 to 15 minutes without any success on the other day. Guess I am not as good as you on social media :-D

I am now happy because I left him the message that I wanetd to sent him: https://twitter.com/R777btt/status/1335571016433741826?s=20

also US based miners who construct their block templates themselves

if the US taxation plantation were an energy producer of some caliber, this would be slightly more credible. slightly.

Someone said Paxos do (the ones who hold the coins for PayPal), but didn't cite a source, so I'm still not certain about that.  As far as I know, PayPal merely has the New York Bitlicence.

Well..... then we will soon see 1000s of people running ToR nodes getting arrested for doing that.... right!     (Wrong!!)

The thing is, when a legit service is run on the Internet and you participate it that project... you cannot be held liable if that services is used for criminal actions. (Criminals use cellphones to communicate and to scam people ...Do you think the Cellphone providers shareholders and employees will be held liable for that?)  The goal of these projects does not stipulate that it was developed to facilitate crime.. go read the Bitcoin whitepaper.... you did not give consent to run a node to facilitate crime!

How many people have laundered money through Banks or used Bank accounts to scam people. How many Bank shareholders are sitting in jail for that.... or Bank CEO's and board members?

                                                     This will not stand up in court .... so just ignore it.  

If you dont want to be liable for processing interstate commerce, dont build highways.

Personally I have never seen this person before you posted this here, and I would not become a follower of his Twitter page even after I tried to understand what his position about crypto is, read his posts. In my opinion this person just makes posts with his thoughts and that is all. I do not think that his is a big Troll or something like that. He comments about posts of different people, who wrote about stablecoins, decentralised platforms and so on, so it is just hus subjective opinion and that is sll  There are very many people of such kind who is sitting in front of their CPs and think that they are big experts. First of all people should think over by their own brains, who do so they will never pay much attention to such statements. All in all media is a great manipulator of our thoughts, so all information should be filtered very much.

OR, like you, he's spreading disinformation and FUD, like the wrong information that you're spreading in the forum about Lightning as a network of IOUs. WRONG.

Typical franky1.

Plus read what he said. He said, "don't run a node", not "don't mine Bitcoin".

What? Was he saying pools should stop operating? Because they're the nodes that miners connect to. Why didn't he say so? Why say "stop running full nodes"?


For telling you that you are sreading disinformation, NOTHING in what you said proves that Lightning uses IOUs.
