You again? You are aware of the fact that people aren't forced to use LN? Also, you can't just write off something that hasn't even had the chance to properly deploy itself, because the far majority of the people don't even know how to set up a node, open channels, etc. You are only out to discredit something (LN in this case), and I don't know what for. If you don't like it, then don't use it.

It's like you are making fun of a baby because it can't walk or talk yet, you are just pathetic.

Haha you're delusional. You see a car in front of you and insist it's a bicycle. I understand though, you're losing tons of money because of your lousy investment decisions, I would get grumpy too.

Either way, it's not all bad, in fact, I think this is actually the ONLY way that LN has a chance to survive. Much of the reasons I gave that LN would fail (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2792933.0) are not (so) valid anymore in a centralized model. Still, I wonder how succesful it can be, since a lot of people like bitcoin for decentralization. If it's going to revolve around a few big banks again, I wonder how many people would still like it.
