1. The feeling that lightning is instant and effortless comes from big permissioned liquidity providers that opened fat channels when fees were low.

2. Not only is it impossible to open channel liquidity for all #Bitcoin, I don't see (as it stands today) how everyone will have *their own* channel liquidity.

3. Noncustodial #Lightning with embedded nodes is insanely buggy and slow. Basically DOA. Hopefully this improves.

4. Starting to understand why arkpill.me is so crucial.

Ark allows recipients to receive payments without an onboarding setup, such as acquiring inbound liquidity while preserving their receiver privacy....

^ this should completely eliminate the friction

There is still an onboarding and liquidity constraint in Ark, it's just outsourced to a third party.
