the VAST majority of people are using LN in a custodial, permissioned way.

If they're gaining *any privacy
which is highly debatable as the network has barely been stress tested
it's the SAME financial privacy I get from a bank.

so gtfo with your bullshit disingenuous "bitcoin fixed privacy" line

 *AT LEAST* 80% of zaps and 94% of lightning addresses are custodial (Not even Bitcoin maxis can be bothered with painful UX of soveriegn LN!)

Meaning it's not even theoretically private for the overwhelming majority of users. Sender, receiver, and amounts all visible to third parties by default. Big sad.

Congratulations though if you're the 0.0001% who correctly jumped all 54 hoops that Super Testnet talks about 🥳

We all know if there is one thing that users love is when things are made as inconvenient as possible
