So why is nobody using Lightning? It’s maybe 1% of Bitcoiners, which already only make up only 1% of the population
Discussion
I could imagine the bitcoiners who don't use lightning are just not interested in the technology (just an investment for them) or afraid to use it/don't know where to start.
Probably also a chicken and egg problem, a lot more people use lightning in El Salvador where you can use it on way more occasions.
I guess 80% of self custody bitcoin owners I met have a lightning wallet installed somewhere.
