Unpopular opinion

#Bitcoin Layer 1 works efficiently as intended, it is simply put, excellent. Any person with a basic induction can run a node and be selfsovereign, run its own bank.

#LightingNetwork ⚡, Layer 2, it is simply inefficient, cumbersome to run and high maintenance, not anyone with a basic induction can run it , create channels and maintain them...

#LN⚡needs work, some teams like Muun Wallet has found a way to make it work for the general public, but they are not the norm.

I keep wondering if a new Layer 2 solution that competes with #LN⚡ will show up soon after, LN has many PROS, but it is not bullet proof as #BTC layer 1 is

Perhaps we will manage to solve the problem of efficiency by a new BOLT proposal that allows single side channels that connect and self balance with other single side channels in the pool of channels, in a seamless manner for the users, currently, to the best of my knowledge, it is not possible, but a solution that achieves it would be a step in the right direction...

I agree, LN is cumbersome if you want to route payments. It works best between two parties who pay each other frequently.
