Playing around with Coinbase lightning integration and just had to mention how insidious it is to use the term 'varies' for lightning as if it's not the cheapest option (unless you decide you want to wrap it for whatever reason) The reason seems obvious to me that they clearly want to downplay its utility, speed, and affordability to prop up their useless Base ETH L2 🙄 (even though that would wrap it to cbbtc) Its like they only begrudgingly integrated lightning. Man I really wish they would lean into it. image

LN costs are a function of bitcoin network costs, as we saw during the jegs frenzy. LN became unaffordable to the unbanked. Bitcoin network costs will keep rising as demand increases on a fixed commodity. Will LN make the grade ?
