Is this higher time preference talking? Or seeing reality?

I can’t say I have enough expertise to have a great opinion.

But as a pleb trying to figure out various aspect to running #bitcoin I see potential in #lightning but can also see it’s still fairly new.

I appreciated what I was able to absorb at the #lightningsummit.

I’d appreciate to hear theirs and other #devs and #builders thoughts.

Not entirely wrong. Lightning gives us scaling by making it so not every payment needs to happen on chain and be broadcast to everyone. What it doesn't solve is that there still isn't enough block space for every person on the planet to own their own utxo. We need something like covenants to help solve that problem (CTV, APO, etc)

if you want to be a sovereign individual on the LN there’s definitely still time but that won’t always be the case

could you elaborate on this notion a bit? if you don't mind my asking... 🧐🤔

I can’t speak for her. However, I think she may be referring to LN may get captured by centralized/custodial parties.

no im referring to the expense of opening/closing channels eventually getting out of hand

Makes sense! Stack channels!
