Still unanswered: How LN is going to help when Layer 1 is already clogged to the point of uselessness.
We will cross that bridge when we get there.
If this price pump continues, we could get there next week. Unfortunately, there is no solution on the horizon under discussion.
Once the blocks are full, no additional people can open a LN channel. Nobody can close an LN channel. (Not without out-paying those txs already waiting to be built into a block). Nobody can post evidence of stolen channel funds as a result of counterparty posting an earlier channel state. Nobody can get BTC into or out of exchanges. ...
All y'all are hanging your hopes on a promise that has no chance to deliver its stated benefits.
Sure, LN will have important use cases. But at the cost of crippling the base layer? Collective delusion.
