Lightning is better for banks than plebs tbh, that's one of the biggest lessons I learned this year. Running Lightning in a sovereign way is a huge mental burden and highly favors custodians, with all of the counterparty risk that comes with them. Really hope people are giving more thought to this instead of yeeting their entire business platform on Lightning

We ABSOLUTELY need more L2s and I'm glad they're being built out as we speak. What are your thoughts on an ecash settlement layer? AFAIK it sounds more like what I thought Lightning would be 

 Ecash is a good idea as long as the redemption is hard to rig, looks like fedimint can do it, we shall see 

 its another permision layer aka middleman layer on bitcoin.
