which is also based on bitcoin 😃

lightning is great and all, dont get me wrong, but aside from zapping people on nostr, i still do most of my transactions on chain.

most of those transactions are done during in-person visits in my situation.

for everything else there is lightning or something else.

in a way its all bitcoin imo.

What are you doing that you need on chain transactions to be so fast?

you could always use something temporary like Phoenix wallet as well in order not to have to manage channels but still have self custody.

The sky is the limit, when there is a will there is a way.

But yes I agree, we are still not at the point where a granny can blindly swipe away her btc like locking her iphone.

i dont think getting there is a good idea either...

Yes Lightning is Bitcoin - but to your own point, "lightning and LN Node operators needs to evolve to handle this more appropriately." That's certainly more constructive to me than a shrug. I understand that these problems get addressed but I'm interested in the "how."

And again, it's not about day-to-day fee rates. It's about the big pumps, the potential for them to become bigger and longer, and how they get handled when it happens.
