Lets all agree is that the biggest btc problem is transaction fees and time, we need lightning network and its distribution. Even though it's centralized it for sure will be used by many people if the news spreads and the network is successful, this for sure will give btc a new ath. The real question is how soon?
Because the people who are screaming that fees are too high are 99.99% primarily day traders or brokers, then LN will do nothing for them until exchanges across the board integrate LN.
Don't hold your breath on that. We can't even get exchanges across the board to implement SW.
I think if something important as that can come out it for sure will be integrated, and i think exchanges who will integrate it first will profit and all the users will switch. I think if the LN is available it won't be that hard for the exchanges to create ln wallet for fast storage and transactions.
