I'm telling you it's a fundamental flaw which you don't seem to find problematic.

I'm telling you that it isn't.

Correct, though has little to do with what I said, that being "what amounts to buying gift cards."

It doesn't.

Before you can buy your overpriced cup of coffee via Lightning, you have to lock away enough BTC for 100 cups, or Lightning is as pointless as buying yourself a "1 cup of coffee" gift card each time you buy a cup of coffee.
Which is pointless.

100 cups? See, you're being hyperbolic again. You can just as easily do it for 10.

Though some might suggest you're not technically using BTC, either.

Whoever says that does not understand LN (albeit it is better than those that say that LN is an altcoin).

Sure. You could also open a payment channel and fund it with just enough coin for 1 cup of coffee. It would be a stupid thing to do, you would loose money vs. transacting on the blockchain & bloat BTC blockchain in the process, but yeah, technically you could.
If BTC tx fees ever become substantial, setting up a payment channel for 10 cups of coffee would make that coffee prohibitively expensive. So 100 cups is a reasonable number, I'm good with it.

The rest of your comments are simply "no ur rong," and, as such, deserve no response. Responding only because it pains me to see you reduce yourself to this, Lauda, sniping like a hurt little girl. Stop acting like a hurt little girl, Lauda, it's unbecoming.
