"If someone gifted me BTC 10.0 ( 
) I probably would open a thousand channels with BTC 0.001 capacity." ( It'd probably be more likely BTC 0.0011 per channel to enable 0.001 to be sent in one piece - per channel and the other 0.0001 to cover opening/closing fees...)
Basically, I'd be looking at cornering a portion of the low end $1 - ~$30 transactions - I'd cover all gaming sites, low cash payment sites such as coffee or snack foods and would tap into nodes with about 20 - 50 open channels. Let even smaller operators with less than twenty channels connect to those smaller nodes then my BTC 10.0 block would be like a cross city expressway.

You would quickly run into liquidity problems and most of your channels would be unbalanced. Still, that's a better strategy than none! It might actually work to some extent.
