That is not my point. My point is that I firmly believe that IF Bitcoin is to succeed as MoE and not only as a SoV it will have to use the concept of Trusted Third Party to satisfy 8 billion people. Even when using Lightning you will have to use TTPs like Wallet of Satoshi, Muun, Speed Wallet etc that take care of opening and closing of channels, channel management. Block space cannot handle tens of millions of private channels. You will have to rely on large scale providers i.e. Trusted Third Parties.

Maybe there are some layer 2 solutions in the pipe line, but it will not come from Lightning is my firm belief

Have you run a Lightning node?

It can be pain but it’s possible. Gets easier in time. There will probably be a mix of solutions maybe connected via lightning. Maybe someone solves UTXO sharing.

Yes. I do. The zap you recieved emanates from this node.
