Gentlemen - enough about PRICE, let's look at FUNDAMENTALS:

BTC doesn't work and LN can't work with a broken layer underneath it.
BTC development is a dead meme,
BTC is the target of Wall St. speculators, and has now lost its Tether price pump mechanism.
BTC has only first adopter momentum, which it loses more of each day (anyone look at the mempool or the market dominance chart lately?)

BCH works and adoption is growing more each day.
BCH development is steaming ahead.
BCH has 24x the capacity of dead BTC.
New investment will almost certainly go to the alt market looking for growth.

Watch the US Congress hearings today. Surely they will move the markets.

Really delusional. This guy seems to think he knows his stuff, must be really into crypto a while. Hmm lets see, account created February 17, 2016 - oh yeah - def been in the scene a ''looong'' time, wink wink

He's just a Bcash shill just ignore him like the rest of us LN already has more open channels than Bcash does nodes and it's not even ready yet also LN node count is catching up fast and will probably over take the Bcash node count within the next couple of weeks

There seems to be some narrative coming from them that LN needs some licence and expensive hardware from blockstream but something must be wrong with my LN node because it seems to be running just fine on the same standard computing hardware as my full node does and the licensing bit where I have to pay blockstream is missing Huh

Also something is wrong with the fees too because I was told it would cost $100 to open a channel but when I opened a couple of channels on mine it didn't even cost me $1 so I'm just guessing it was a type and just was missing a decimal and should have said $1.00

I did buy some gear from the blockstream store though a week ago with no fees it wasn't as fast as I was expecting though as I was believed it to be instant but I swear I had to wait 250ms

Well, there's no demand for BTC transactions currently - just look here https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions to see the number of TXs is down from almost 500k to 150k per day. That's significant drop just within 2 months between december and february. With BTC price down more than 50% from ATH, and low number of TXs your $1 for opening/closing LN channel is impressive, however, if the price and no. of TXs will go higher, your costs will surely rise to $20 (or more) again.

That was for opening 2 channels I opened a small one yesterday cost me $0.06 but I was only sending $0.16 testing and all that so technically cost a lot this is also native segwit (bc1)
