This is why I don't see any problem with the fees. If you can't afford those fees just use fiat banking. Bitcoin is for people that do value their money, financial freedom and privacy.
In other words: 3rd world, go f*** yourself.
But honestly i think it's good that we finally are able to clearly see what the underlying differences are what Bitcoin should be and what not. My impression is that lots and lots of folks still don't understand that there is a big gap in the Bitcoin community when it comes to that.
With Lightning the 3rd world will have access to bitcoin payment channels. And the BTC ecosystem will still be decentralised and working in everyones interests and to our mutual benefit.
On the other hand (and we have several hundred years of precedence to give a concise answer to this) when did centralised corporate interests ever give a flying fuck about the little man, third world or otherwise ??
