if you think Lightning network is a success

and the haters are just shitcoiners with bags to shill

just ask the exchanges and payment processors how many LN payments they register every month and what’s the average amount

then compare that to Litecoin, ETH or even Doge

But honest question, why would Bitcoiners using Lightning send their SATS to exchanges? It’s the people who trade (with) Bitcoin for other coins or fiat not using Lightning.

Because it’s the most fungible way to access an offramp, the exchange won’t know where the funds come from.

they know with certainty who it went to. Off ramping from an exchange is terrible. I’m still haunted about the SATS I took off exchanges

current network usage doesn’t require LN for off/on ramping

stops being a scammer

Did you do that exercise? Could you please share the data?

I’ve talked with guys from Flexa and Bitrefill in private. Also, the CEO of SideShift was on my podcast and explained why his business delisted Lightning 2 years ago.

bitcoin maxi kids on nostr who cheerlead lightning are suffering from the ikea effect. they place more value on their lightning setup because they put more effort into making it work. they don't understand their own cognitive biases.
