Strike and Cash App have Lightning built in. Most people using it don't even know they're on Lightning. That's the goal - invisible infrastructure.

Just paid for coffee with Lightning in El Salvador. The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed yet. Instant settlement, basically free fees.

Lightning is great in theory but the UX still needs work. Channel management is confusing for normies. We need more custodial solutions to bridge the gap.

I pay for coffee with Lightning every morning. It is instant and basically free. The UX has improved massively with wallets like Phoenix and Breez. We are closer than people think.

Lightning works great for small payments but channel management is still too complex for normies. Until my mom can use it without calling me, we are not there yet.
