bitcoin is more centralized due to small blocks and lightning, not less

the scaling roadmap is small blocks and lightning. the only problem is, you still need to do onchain transactions to fund your lightning channels. there is a finite number of people who can do that at the same time. the design pushes people into custodial wallet providers, and it punishes people for taking their coins off of exchanges. you can observe this right now. the biggest lightning nodes are custodians. most people leave their coins on an exchange. once in a while some poor fellow listens to the laser eye nutjobs and accidentally does onchain bitcoin transactions, with disastrous results. keep staring at the fee chart to learn when it is safe to venture out of the walled garden, otherwise forget what you were told and number go up. bitcoin today is more centralized as a result of this roadmap, when all its cheerleaders told us that it would become less centralized.
