Lightning network is flawed, yes it’s fast, but you need to connect to your own or someone’s node, there has to be a node running somewhere, and if you don’t own that node then there is third part risk, closing channels etc

Or you can connect to Alby, but then you have to dox yourself by giving your email/phone number, to connect. Also you can’t even connect to Alby unless you have an invite link/code, wtf! Why?

Alby is so obviously not looking to promote/build freedom tools, it’s just another corporation being a data honey pot for government

Bitcoin is supposed to be open to everyone, easy to use, easy to get up and running, and cheap to set up, not having to run your own node

Lightning is to complicated to get up and running for the average person, it’s a dead end
