The Lightning Network is criminally underappreciated.
It's already got:
Privacy
Scalability
Speed
Cost
Adoption
Imagine comparing it to theoretical upgrades to other cryptos when Lightning already exists on the most robust and reliable Blockchain ever—Bitcoin.

Something I learned this year about writing is that people only want the conclusion.
I definitely didn't learn this in college (I studied env. engineering). It was a shock to learn that people don't want to read about data or about your process to arrive at the conclusion; they only want the takeaway.
Consequently, for honest, analytical people, you have to write the full analysis and then move the conclusion to the front. Then, the analysis becomes supporting material that leads credibility to your conclusions. This thread about Lightning should be a great example of this in action: conclusion, then supporting analysis.

I've encountered the concern before and it applies to onchain activity. Lightning transactions would be largely unaffected by the mining game theory at play in MEV.
Using Bitcoin for this purpose can't be stopped in the same way as arbitrary data storage. Consequently, we should embrace reality that Bitcoin is a neutral value transfer system.

Lightning is not a new token.
Lightning is a contract to negotiate bitcoin payments.
Bitcoin is locked and bitcoin payout transactions are signed and shared (but not broadcasted) with every lightning transaction.
Lightning uses the bitcoin protocol for contract enforcement.

It's not likely in the near term. The only exception would be if you're bringing significant payment volume.
Otherwise, there's a 3000 BTC waitlist and performance is highly related to the amount of assets deployed from what we're seeing in early phases.

While liquidity remains tight at the Fed, we've made liquidity very "accommodative" on the lightning network with @nprofile…eph5 Magma.
This brings our payment processing target rate to 0.2% which supports real economic growth with efficient payments within the Bitcoin sector.

Lightning is insanely efficient.

>20x cheaper than VISA. No chargebacks. Instant.
No liquidity management required if you buy channels.
