Here's my honest feedback on the lightning network and Bitcoin: I run a media company. It's based in Australia. I employ some people in the Philippines to help with back end stuff and some grunt work. I want to pay them with Bitcoin. But there's a problem.

Cash flow issues in actual businesses won't allow that kind of behaviour. So I'd have to create a new lightning channel every month to pay my staff anyway, so I'd be doing onchain tx anyway. But the staff don't get paid enough to warrant $100 fees for each channel.

Even if someone was happy to do all the channel openings and crap, it's years away from reaching a user-friendly state. I can't ask local merchants to go and buy server hardware to be able to accept this shit. It needs to run on an iPad. Only a custodial solution would work.
