Overlay networks can be built on top of bitcoin, bitcoin won’t do everything.

Good discussion on this today with creg, Michal Fletcher and come core twitter troll: https://twitter.com/mikefletcher_/status/1365736851571638275?s=21

Mike Fletcher @mikefletcher_ He's talking about overlay networks that have data encoded into transactions - LN doesn't encode anything, it just bounces TXs back and forth. You don't need to have Miners doing your calculations for you, just have them verifying and recording the new state.
