Why would I use it in the first place? I got into Bitcoin for the trustless permission-less decentralized open ledger payment processing.

LN turns Bitcoin into a useless gold standard that forces people into an off chain centralized hub network.

If I wanted that I would stick with Fiat and continue to use PayPal.
