TREE NEWS reports: Bitcoin developer Paul Sztorc says Bitcoiners are lying to themselves about the Lightning Network.

The criticism reopens debate over whether Lightning can scale bitcoin payments for mainstream use.

Sztorc's critique lands less as a technical dispute than as a challenge to a narrative Bitcoin culture has invested in for years: that Lightning is the answer to payments. The friction is that usability claims and everyday adoption are being measured differently, and insiders rarely air that gap publicly. Whether this stays a recurring talking point or fades into the usual developer back-and-forth is the open question.
