BTC Lightning Sucks, plenty of videos explain of why that is, including... - All parties must be online, also will not be used by antipodals - No cryptographic level of privacy - Only useful to preload (thus lockout) your funds from all other possible [priority] uses that may arise. - Only useful in a one way stream to a pre-known single recipient, such as a grocer or biller. - Bi-dir channels are made irrelevent by old school offline difference-keeping with settlement later, for less fees than all the channel and node bullshit would entail. - Fees already invalidate most small purchases, and will eventually eat up most other use cases since they all ultimately require settlement onchain. - Centralization regulatory nightmare. Bitcoin-BTC will now only be used as value store, it's fees will rise to alienate 90+% of humanity leading to paper shareholding schemes over centralized custody pools, and will, after one or two more huge waves, if left unchanged, be eventually obsoleted by a simple private p2p cash in the next 10 years. While riding the wave, seek the cash. "WHO KILLED BITCOIN?"
