How come many bitcoiners, just like me have a lightning node? How can it be centralized if we’re all separated geographically?

And how is it that i use bitcoin utxos to create a lightning channel ?

Lmao

Bitcoin and lightning have very different security trade-offs and UX. They are not the same.

-LN very rarely used in P2P fashion. LN is nearly unusable without massive centralized hubs to route without failing.

-LN is offchain. Not final settlement until on chain. Possibility to be rugged by channel peer or host exists without an active node.

But even worse, the UX is so terrible ~90% of LN use a custodial, closed source wallet 🤮
