 Leave L1 alone. L2 will be the solution

 To scale with L2s, changes to L1s probably need to occur. Lightning whitepaper included 150MB block sizes. There aren't enough TPS to open lightning channels for 100s of millions, let alone billions of users.

 Remarkably common ignorant statement.

WE NEED LAYER 1 IMPROVEMENTS IN ORDER TO MAKE LAYER 2 DEVELOPMENT MORE FEASIBLE.

 Have current L2 solutions reached their ceiling? 

How have current BIPs addressed adding to Bitcoins decentralization and security?

 totally agree. the way this is going right now, only custodial LN wallets work well, self hosted LN is still a pain in the ass. 

Also the LN fees are nowhere near the promised single digit sats when you run your own node, i pay around 0.5% of the transaction value most of the time.
