lightning is a scam for creating make-work and the illusion of industrial growth while consolidating payment processing activity into centralized entities. companies like boltz and lightspark are not only evidence that lightning doesn't actually work at scale, they are part of the scam. YOU can open your own channels and play with your hot wallet abacus all day whenever the fee market is dead and pretend like you are still not losing money to channel maintenance, but it's not going to be like that in the mass adoption wet dreams. with lightning you are drowning in centralization.
