LN is a "soltion" Blockstream (tm) created to solve a problem Blockstream created.
"Solution" because it does not actaully allow fast and cheap "cash-like" transactions as Bitcoin was originally designed to do (and still can easily scale to Visa-like levels).
From day one Satoshi had built Bitcoin to scale to to Visa levels of transactions by simply incrementaly increasing the block size over time. Blockstream hijacked the Bitcoin Core GitHub repo and soon after disabled several core features and have since refused to increase the block size while pushing their products (Liquid and LN) as "solutions" to this problem they created.
LOL, anyone that has even read the White Paper knows that LN is first, unnecessary and second does not work and never will. Only idiots and scammers push LN as a "solution" to the problems Blockstream introduced after they hijacked the Core GitHub repo.
Putting all your money in an LN channel is the funniest (if not saddest) thing Ive every heard.
LOL, anyone that has had even a cursory look into LN will know that it does not work and never will. It is a smokescreen put up by legacy banking to try and kill peer-to-peer digital cash.
BTC died as soon as Blockstream was able to hijack the GitHub Repo. Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin now.
