Oh boy, this is exactly what we need. Bitcoin's rapid growth has more than ever put a heavy load of pressure on Bitcoin's network, which is something that for new users may be a bit too much to swallow.

If you want to send like $50 worth of Bitcoin, only $40 will wnd up reaching its destination due to the fees being like $10 on average. It might scare off people, which would be a damn shame.

I however don't hope that lightning network gets rushed due to this. I prefer to wait a longer while and have it be solid and thoroughly tested through, than seeing it come online with potentially severe bugs and whatnot.
