Don't run an LN node, for that's apparently bad OPSEC. 

 do U have % of these metrics? 

 the ability to avoid custodial services/intermediaries was a💡 moment for me back in the day

weird that this concept doesn’t seem to click with some folks, but then again not everyone wants to be free 

 Low transaction fees are also an indicator that Bitcoin is scaling?

 I don't think so, the average tx is still above 5,000
Let the free market be.
More people will be moving Sats money on LN, On-Chained will be used when they become wealthy enough.
 

 This. Can't expect people to pay such fees for small transfers. 

 Small transfers are done on LN, the bigger transfers are done On-Chain. 
No body mind paying $10 to move $10K, but they need to move $5 they can simply send it over LN for 1 Sat 

 Unfortunately this is true..  

 I pretty sure L2 and L3 are a big part of the reason too. 

 bitcoin is such a failure it's disgusting  

 Hmmm how come, what did it fail at? 

 Wait for the rug pulls, the hacks, the defaults.
People will start to value holding real BTC then. 
Until then, cheap SATs for the plebs.

No solution needed, only time. 

 Some say ETFs are a layer 2... I say they're fiat gamblers. Our money is not your costume!
