What is the best alternative to Lightning right now? Bitcoin only.

What does this question even mean?
Uh liquid but there is no support on swaps and exchanges
Do you have a starting point for this? App/site? As liquid is such a generic term. Thx 🙏
To do what?
Like the note - catch a plane to the plebs home address - hand them 25c - fly home
Best depends on the trade-offs you prefer. I'd say fedi or ecash, because they settle over LN. Both need a lot more work to replace custodial LN services still. For relevant apps there's fedi alpha and then eNuts, that I know of. Haven't used them on mainnet myself yet though
Do you mean fedimint and cashu? I found https://coincharge.io/en/chaumian-ecash-for-bitcoin-lightning/ as resource to explain it a bit. Also there is nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv I am trying out. There is also a podcast https://overcast.fm/+BHdPKYd-oc shared to me by nostr:npub1qe3e5wrvnsgpggtkytxteaqfprz0rgxr8c3l34kk3a9t7e2l3acslezefe with nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg about this subject, still have to listen to it. #ecash #minibits #cashu #zaps #fedimint
Now? Nothing. Maybe lightning via chaumian mints.
Ark might be better later on though https://arkdev.info/docs/
