Exactly! Been here 3 years and every time I meet long time bitcoiners at events here (and around the world) that don't use LN I'm very saddened. Some very famous names included.

It's weird, I pay my bills in LN even but somehow the 'nobody uses it' meme lives on.

(P.S. I don't call myself a maximalist and most of the people I'm referring to wouldn't either, but that's beside the point.)

‘Nobody’ uses LN but still there are 1800+ txs and nearly 6 BTC routed on my little pleb node in the last 24 hours ⚡️

holy crap, that's awesome Filou! LN is great. I should open a channel with you when I get some time to better understand LN, I've just been playing with Alby Hub for a few months.

The network has been picking up a massive amount of volume last few weeks!

Lightning is a rabbit hole, I started about 4 years ago on a Raspberry Pi with a just couple channels and got hooked. Now running on a full bare metal server and it became a full time job⚡️

I love this. I’m here for it.

How many rabbit holes are out there! This is so crazy! 🔥💜

i use lighting multiple times a week and i’m more likely to use a service if it accepts lighting. i’m just a lazy customer and lightning is the most convenient way to pay.

Don't you like paying by card? You only need to provide your legal name and address, write 16 numbers, a date and 3 digits, while also needing to approve the payment from your phone. Oh and if you use a vpn, the 2fa page might not work and you need to restart the process.

That's way better than scanning a QR code and tapping pay. /s

I use lighting when it's dark and I need to see.

OnlyOnchain OGs or scared of lightning 😆
