Lightning's fundamental design around interactivity and htlcs make it impossible to improve UX to such a point that it overcomes that force closures, stuck payments and borked channels... Which all require advanced knowledge and risking loss of funds

Why would anyone risk losing their Bitcoin when they can just use a credit card?

another mutually exclusive scenario is that financial credit, including credit card payments and even banking in general, and our freedoms will become legally dependent on social "credit" scoring.

it's already playing out in some large, centrally governed nations today
