Liquid haters simply don't understand the massive utility of the chain. "Liquid is dead, there's barely any transactions in the blocks" You sound just as stupid as the people claiming Bitcoin is dead when the price drops.  

 Saying 'liquid is a shitcoin' is still fun though 

 Lightning is a shitcoin too 

 But it settles to the base layer  

 You can peg out of liquid to base chain too.  

 Doesn't that require the federation to sign off though? 

 You can do swaps. Peg just take 100 block conf on liquid
