Why is that? Don't you feel, things like Wallet of Staoshi (& latest Phoenix) update makes it very easy to send and receive BTC on lighting.

But don't you think as so many use cases can be built on Ethreuem, it has a better chance to not stay a niche. I mean if you create 100 different types of apps on A and 1 type of app on B then A has much better chance to have atleast 1 successful app.

- UX - invoices need to be abstracted away. Simple transfers are easier on EVM chains.

- adoption - i think the trade off with those thousands of apps / use cases is that they produce niche technology and UX solutions to that then require users to constantly learn new behaviours. Crypto adoption is stuck at 10% globally. Decentralized crypto app adoption stuck at 50m. I mostly think about payments, and am starting to believe that lightening is the only standard that can break through to mainstream adoption

Interesting.

As you're on Nostr, so wanted to ask this as well

Have you tried out Lens Protocol which is probably built on Polygon or Ethereum? Do you think Nostr has a better infra design or Lens?
