Not even close
according to @realLudvigArt, author of that #LightningNetwork article, multicast turns Bitcoin into a “server-client model”. thus it will not scale like the internet which uses TCP/IP. why is this comparison incorrect in your view?

Multicast IS a part of TCP/IP And they have it wring

Broadcast is also in IP. Unicast is also in Ethernet. I go over this in the section: "(I understand that these data transmission forms exist in both Ethernet and IP)" Unicast is the most common form of IP traffic on the Internet. That is why I made the *analogies*.

Settlement of
#bitcoin transactions (included in a mined block) on the#blockchain is more synonymous with broadcast data transmission than multicast. If@ProfFaustus actually read the article, he would have seen that I connected it to broadcast transmissions and not multicast. -
No, you keep thinking in nterms of a mesh such as the Internet. Bitcoin is a near complete small world. Apples and Cats... not even close

and here we go again with that “Bitcoin is not a mesh” thing. it would really be helpful if there’s a paper or technical article that explains this in simple language and diagrams! Twitter doesn’t cut it

I am working on it But I need to ELI5 it and that is time consuming

We are even getting it animated
