The lightning network is now being compared with Apple Pay. With wallets like Wallet of Satoshi that simplify the use and onboarding of users, Lightning Network is really starting to lift off. What do you think of this? Will Lightning take off this year? Or will it take more time to see it shine?
IMO you're going to have to sell the idea of Bitcoin to consumers first, as they're not going to be switching from tried and tested methods only to achieve basically the same end results. It has to be noted that most people won't care about what's going on under the hood for as long as it's convenient for them.
The title is kind of misleading as the comparison is solely about speed, but it's still quite encouraging.
