Copied this from a Forbes Magazine Article about the Lightning Network..enjoy.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/ktorpey/2017/12/28/will-bitcoins-lightning-network-kill-off-altcoins-focused-on-cheap-transactions/#3b4c3b57dabdPerhaps the most important factor to consider when comparing Bitcoins Lightning Network to low-fee altcoins is the higher liquidity, lower volatility, and relative longevity offered by the bitcoin asset. Most people would simply prefer to use bitcoin as money over an altcoin, which is the reason bitcoin has continued to succeed in the face of relatively higher fees.
Aztec, Go read the article Forbes magazine Dec 28th "will Bitcoins lightning network kill low cost alts" They say that S.N. himself came up with the idea for the Lightning Network,
LMAO.
FTFY ,
links and quote marks addedIdgit,
A little forum etiquette lesson for you , add quotes around other's material.
And provide a direct link to said quote, just good manners.
Now here is why LN is BS using forbes own article.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/ktorpey/2017/12/28/will-bitcoins-lightning-network-kill-off-altcoins-focused-on-cheap-transactions/#3b4c3b57dabdThe key benefits of the Lightning Network include: drastically lower fees, instant payments (avoiding Bitcoins ten minute confirmation times), and the potential for improved privacy since these transactions are not stored in a public ledger forever.
Lower fees compared to Segshit Coin Insanely high fees.
1. LN fees will be variable , which means they will increase at the whim of the LN hub owners and fees will vary depending on the person you are sending it too.
2. Anyone could use an exchange's Offchain processing right now for any coin , without the drawbacks of LN.
3. When there is no direct LN route, an LN payment will not be possible or fee making it not worth it, Therefore LN will not work for some people.
4. LN directly ignores the KYC/AML Laws by hiding transaction information, which means LN hubs will be made illegal or all LN Hub data transactions will have to be reported to the Governments so they are not arrested.
(Which reporting all info is their plan.)
5. LN uses it own note redeemable for onchain segshitcoin , this in and of itself is a banking note , as such a banking license, will be required to run one.
Any other coin, that charges a fixed or low fee rate and allows everyone not just LN's slaves to transact with each other will be superior to LN.
Normal Coins
Freedom: Allow Transactions with anyone that has an Onchain Address, Which is not controlled by 3rd party authorities, and
free to create.
verses
LN Slavery: (LN Address transactions will be controlled by the LN hubs. Meaning LN hub owners controls the financial transactions of all allowing or blocking transactions by their own authority, LN is the same as Fiat Banking , IDGIT.)
By the way : the author of the LN propaganda piece is Kyle Torpey.

If you have not guess it yet, Banks and the fractional reserve systems they create are the enemies of the people of the world.
They use these fractional reserve systems to enslave the populace to systems, that they control.
LN is just a way to enslave the crypto users and continue their banking monopoly.
LN=Banking Cartels
