No perfect solution exists but we have good optionally and substantially better functionality right now vs when I started in Bitcoin in 2019. 

I’m hopeful Lightning can be developed further. If it was just a bit easier to setup channels and receive LN payments non-custodial I think it would be a-near perfect fast payments solution. Very good as is imo but high-fee environments make it less economical if you haven’t set up a channel. 

Did not ever think I’d use Lightning daily a few years back. Now I do and it’s non-custodial and payments are successful 99%+ of the time. Really promising imo. 

I will start to use Aqua just to play with Liquid. I have it setup already just no funds added bc I haven’t had a real reason to use it yet.
