The lightning network makes BTC go from 7 transactions per seconds to 28 on chain transaction per second and im being generous with that figure... much much too slow.... To compare NANO is 100,000 transactions per second.... Bitcoin in all ways is obsolete and patches built on top will never be as nice and simple as a better idea from the start.... Yes Vertcoin is a nice coin and it can do everything bitcoin can do for just a few dollars, so do you see my point?
