You can open (and later close) a lightning channel with just 2 onchain transactions. You can then do thousands or even millions of payments on that channel. This is a huge block space optimisation while maintaining self-custody ⚡️
Bitcoin fees would skyrocket if you tried to put every zap or coffee purchase on it, then those things would become uneconomical and people would stop doing it. You need a system that is noncustodial and isn’t tied to bitcoin fees. This is what lightning is for.
