That's a fair comment. Though I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending others to Stack on anything but main chain due to the security aspects and LN pretty much still being in beta. But I guess tough times need workarounds. Most of these solutions are a bit beyond the newcomer though and will definitely slow down the pace of individual adoption.

I think there will be a lot of hurt people this bull run. Those who didn't manage UTXO's and newcomers realising these difficulties to entry and getting salty about it. We need a huge jump forward in usability before we get mass adoption.

Gradually then suddenly.

I think for most investment level people looking to store their money in bitcoin instead of bonds, that’s no dust. We’re talking about 10,000s of dollars per person in the US.

Maybe for the average person in other lower income countries it wouldn’t be bad to teach them L2s first. Naturally we are in a time of discovery and not everything we do will be the right decision at the time, but we will learn as we go and look to find the best UX for the job depending on the persons circumstances

Yes it's very true. However i'm thinking about this from the perspective of someone trying to orange pill "average Joe" for their own benefit. It seems lightning is maturing week by week so maybe it is time to start recommending people to start there 👌🏼 it certainly allows for a more "cash like experience" just need to caviat the info with the security aspects.
