I wonder why. He must have his reasons which I'd like to hear tbh.
He was very cautious about it being stable and reliable enough. There being enough people using it to make it worthwhile and all the complications of implementing it. This isn't something that's going to happen immediately because there is a lot of work involved in making sure it is both reliable and secure.
I do agree that the future of bitcoin is definitely with LN because these huge insane transaction fee's can't keep up forever, the more people get into bitcoin, the more rich people there are in bitcoin as well, even if just 1 out of 1000 new people are rich, that still means thousands upon thousands of people come into bitcoin and that makes more rich people here who doesn't care about the transaction fees, so it keeps going up and up.
However I definitely 100% agree that it is not today, LN is great and it is the future of it but there is really a good amount of time we will need to be there, in order for freebitco.in to implement it and make it something viable, we need at least 25%+ of all bitcoin people to actually start using LN and we are not there yet, or at least have good amount of exchanges implement it first, until then it is just in theory.
