In the case of "Lightning" DC system, not only is it likely that the
system shall end up dominated by a few big nodes, but that is its
fundamental design and guaranteed outcome - the only real argument in
the Lightning DC system is who out of current players dominates over
the others - the Federal Reserve system banks, or the commercial
players such as Facebook, Ebay, Amazon etc...
