Some weeks back, there was a buzz around the LN going to help the bitcoin network become more efficient, hence it would drive adoption. Still, not much has changed to the whole adoption puzzle, it seems we are really stuck with so many complexities.
New cryptocurrencies entering the market are offering lower entry barrier but only lack the popularity or dominance BTC has. I'm a superfan of bitcoin protocol but I still don't get why we can't have a tradeoff.
BTC adoption (for mainstream merchants and highly sophisticated transactions) as against scalability. It's not like everyone in the world owns gold, so why should BTC become a 'world-currency' either? The few people who can have it should cherish it and only use it for more exclusive financial functions.
However, I still believe LN should be perfected, but adoption and current use cases should be well established and deeply rooted in the economy.
