This is the technical layer. The liquidity requirements condemned LN from the start to VC subsidies, early adopters risking their bitcoin without being compensated (doesn't scale and isn't sustainable), and centralization. LN liquidity is cheap and works well only when we have 3 nodes in total (small number). 
 What do you suggest? 
 I suggest a simple rule of thumb when deciding on which tech to develop/champion; if it has liquidity problems, avoid it. That does include drivechains with long withdrawal times. So right now the only ones satisfy are drivechain style pegs, and other liquid federation pegs making altcoins sidechains.
