I'm referring to the value overflow incident in Bitcoin, where a hacker gave himself a bazillion bitcoins and it was only caught because all ledger values are visible.

Yeah. So? Invisibility is exactly that. Can't crack someone who you are unaware of the presence and mass of the collections of who. You can track it all on bitcoin. Sucker crypto right there. Just askin' for it.

The Lightning Network has onion routing by default. This gives us the best of both worlds - strong privacy and a way to detect inflation bugs. Better L1 privacy is in the works, without sacrificing auditability.

I'm stacking these pennies. They'll be as tall as the 9/11 building before too long and withstand nearly as much an impact.

Ok cool whatever that means. It is nice to know there's only 21M BTC.
