The ecosystem might be ready for that in a few years. As of now, even most bitcoiners have never even made a lightning payment

I’ve been attending Bitcoin conferences for the last 3 years with @Chain Duel , putting Lightning in front of people and letting them use it. I’ve personally seen thousands of first-time Lightning payments happen. From that perspective, the world is more ready than we think

I mean, I just did a lightning payment to you. Its easy, cheap and reliable. People are afraid of paying in BTC because of fees and the whole "store of value" narrative (to which I still would respond: "spend and replace")... But where is the ecosystem not ready for it? I think many people would (or should?) join a lightning festival to connect, listen, teach and ofc buy goods and services.
In fact its happening, tonight. We've been doing it for years. Everything he describes and more. Join us at boostbeach.live tonight 7pm CT image
