You ever feel sad from the knowledge that btc/lightning have so much latent power yet adoption (especially merchant adoption) is pitifully low?

When in doubt zoom out. We’re still way early: we need btc/lighting to grow and scale before it’s truly ready for prime time.
No. Today, every merchant will know about Bitcoin, even though most still don't accept it. That's significant growth from just a few years ago when most of those same merchants hadn't heard of Bitcoin.
When that single EFTPOS machine they use also accepts lightning payments, merchants will start accepting Bitcoin.
