 I'm married to Bitcoin, but not to lightning 

If we find a better way, I'm here for it 
 In terms of non custodial? Probably right...
Because custodial services are already very good, like Strike. 
 yes, LN via custodial services is working and maturing. self custodial is not easy and needs AI to mange channels automatically imho. multiple L2 innovations ans options for quick peer to peer settlements are encouraged 
 What about Liquid? Seems a bit easier to get going but it is more centralised than lightning... 
 Trying to scale on Blockchain with another Blockchain isn't an elegant engineering solution, it's also not a layer because you can't trustlessly settle back on chain 

Complete non starter imo 
 Hmm thanks for the input, I need to understand better how liquid works... It seemed compelling at some point when I heard of ways to move from lightning to liquid and then stack in a hardware wallet in order to increase privacy. 
 Enjoy the journey fren 
 Why not lightning ?  
 It's good but it's not perfect the way Bitcoin is 
 If it was perfect than lighting would not have been created. There are enhancements to BTC that a layer 2 can provide. 
 What do you think about hedgehog that  @Super Testnet was working on? https://github.com/supertestnet/hedgehog 
 💯 
 Well I guess that settles asking you the fuck, marry, kill question for onchain, lightning, and ecash.
