 I feel and agree with this pain. My only difference in thinking is that I'm hopeful that solutions will be found in the future to make Lightning easier for the average person to be using their funds in a non-custodial way.

 Oh you want to receive 50,000 sats?

My lsp will open a channel to you!

The fee will be 100,000 sats because mempool is full.

😭😭

 Maybe he already had enough inbound to receive those sats? Fees were not always like this. Besides that high onChain fees should not be a problem becuase the lightning network exists longer than the period of high fees we are currently experiencing. Exciting times ehead for sure.

 2024: ordinals, ETF, halving, change in accounting rules for Bitcoin held in treasury, countries starting to mine and hold Bitcoin,...

The demand for block space will increase.

 I have had the same hope for many years now but we don't feel any closer
