What are the actual real world cases where a consumer business would use it? For you to receive your BTC, the channel has to close.

What are the real world uses of person to person for a channel? How long are you gong to wait to close the channel to receive your BTC?

I don't see many cases for it. Amazon maybe, but how long are they gonna not let you close the channel? They are essentially loaning you goods as they don't receive any BTC while the channel is open.

I see lightning network as the same lie as segwit. It will fix everything.....until it did nothing.

(I fully realize lightning was a 2 step process, step 1 segwit, step 2 lightning)
