You must be a price junkie.

Lightning, is a shitcoin.

Liquid, is a shitcoin.

Imagine you have money(gold) but you settle transactions in rocks. To settle transactions in rocks, you have to open a lane for them to travel down. The other party can close this lane if they don't like the way you sneeze, forcing you to settle with them in gold.

Lightning is like having bitcoin and sending some of it to someone, but not actually having to pay your debt, until a force closure happens.
