Why do we need Lightning Network again?

Because we need to scale 1000000x solution. Not fucking 2x or 10x.

We need really cheap micro-payments.
We need INSTANT micro-payments, faster than 0.1 second.
We need SECURE INSTANT micro-payments.

We need BTC for 1 000 000 000 users, not for fucking early adopters, who does not understand how segwit/LN work, but they have their fucking opinion...

Agreed. I'm sick of paying 25 cents worth of Bitcoins in fees to pay $20 to an online retailer and having to wait 19 hours for 1 confirmation.

It should be fast.
It should be cheap.
It should be perfect.

SegWit and LN are the best proposals so far that I have heard that can help towards achieving these goals.
