with LN being 12 decimal
0.000000000001
and people believing that fees per channel hop will be
0.000000000001

to make $~0.04 means you have to process 100k transactions
to make $~0.38 means you have to process 1 million transactions
to make $~3.8 means you have to process 10million transactions
to make $~38 means you have to process 100 milion transactions
to make $~380 means you have to process 1 billion transactions
to make $~3800 means you have to process 10billion transactions

so to make 4cents on LN you need to have enough funds to shift 100k transactions(cups of cofffee)
think about it...

(this includes running scenarios of how often youll need to do independant close/open broadcasting to shift funds(costing onchain fees))
(this includes running scenarios of how much you will have to lock into a factory(fortknox bank) to avoid broadcast when close/open funds shifting))

what people are not realising is average joe will NOT be getting rich from being a full node route channel for LN for these reasons
LN's nich will turn out to be a way to atomic swap between altcoins without as much registration KYC pressure. these nodes end up being masternodes monitoring several blockchains. thus the funny part is saying running just bitcoin is 'expensive' as the ruse to get people excited by LN will backfire, as being a full LN nod will actually require more hardware. thus defeating the initial hyp reason for LN which was to deburden bitcoin
