No, originally I said "Bitcoin is great if you don't use the blockchain", mocking the lightning networks existence because blockchain on its own is terrible for transactions. I never said they were almost comparable. They're not. One is a database that's been proven to work for all kinds of things, and the other is a techbros fantasy that wastes energy and is basically just tech stocks at this point.

Keep up.

This is what you wrote, I was literally quoting you. I didn't even summarize what you said, I just copied and pasted it:

"It's been great watching Bitcoin grow from this digital currency for buying drugs online to having all these layers added on to almost sort of make it comparable to the systems we already have."
