We at Quantum1Net believes what needed is higher amount of data transaction and speed, lower power consumption and stronger security.

Bitcoin needs to work as a currency that's what we really need not many people are going to put their money bitcoin if it is just a high risk investment, after all how many people are investing in those kind of products not many I suppose, but everyone needs to use currency from the richest man in the world to the poorest so until bitcoin is able to satisfy that condition then we cannot get mass adoption.
But in order to be able to use bitcoin as a currency, you need instant confirmation of the transaction. It is also very important that the transaction price corresponds to the amount. Now we pay the same amount for the transaction. In order to save money, people have to transfer a large amount of bitcoins to Fiat and only then make small purchases. In such circumstances, bitcoin will never be a currency.
You are correct but at the same time that is precisely why the developers are working on the lighting network they know very well that if bitcoin does not become a currency then the project will fail this is why they did everything to get segwit approved and activated, so once again the only thing we can do is to wait and see if the lighting network will work as intended.
