goatmeal on Nostr: almost everyone uses lightning through a custodian. not using it through a custodian ...
almost everyone uses lightning through a custodian. not using it through a custodian creates an unsustainable onchain footprint since every noncustodial lightning user must periodically do L1 transactions to fund and rebalance their own channels. you run into the same exact problem as the L1 for coffee scenario, just a little bit later. lightning should be scrapped in favor of other L2s.
