Critique of Lightning Network's efficiency and initial Bitcoin exclusion in Trump's digital reserve plan sparks debates in the digital currency community.
Paul Sztorc, an experienced developer and founder of Drivechain, criticized the performance of the Lightning Network, citing the inefficiency of this network as the reason for the initial exclusion of Bitcoin (BTC) from Trump’s digital currency reserve plan, sparking widespread discussions in the digital currency community. The inclusion of digital currencies like Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL) in Trump’s proposed digital currency reserves faced backlash from Bitcoin supporters, who viewed this action as unwarranted support for digital currency socialism. However, Trump later added Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) to his list.
