 This kind of negativ sentiment for lightning is so hot r̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶n̶o̶w̶ for already 5 years. 
 My time preference is too low to endure another 5 years of the same thing  
 I mean too high, damn it lol 
 Understandable. I think you are right but I still have some hope left. 

Seeing people around me using lightning payments for coffee or food is awesome but non-custodial solutions are not taking off in this system due to obvious limitations. 
 DAO's keep trying:
>However, Bell told Decrypt that Nomic is “fully decentralized and non-custodial, making it the first Bitcoin bridge of its kind.”
>Bell added that Bitcoin BTC is not "locked" on Nomic like other bridging protocols. Instead, it is “held in a “reserve output’ on the Bitcoin blockchain” and funds are released when transactions are signed by Nomic validators.

 We all know how this will end, still an interesting idea regardless.
