Lightning Network Public Capacity 100,000 BTC by 2025

I'm going through this week's Stack Sats newsletter and I see the growth the network keeps building which brings confidence to any Bitcoiner. It is with such boldness that I make this prediction. I will give you a few facts to support my claim.

50 BTC every week will grow exponentially to the very least, use an exponential growth calculator for this

Institutions are already building solutions on lightning, an example is CashApp, and Microstrategy which is also working on one.

For those who doubt my estimation. You might be right but you're wrong, and even though you're right, you're still wrong

The revolution is individuals and small businesses and developing areas! The big companies are exciting, but small business is where the magic lies.

I don't see it happening. The IQ required for something like btc to be succesfull is higher than what exists in the world today. People are getting stupider not smarter. For example 49% of public school children are performing below historical averages and 20% of high school students can't even read and the number is growing. Ladies and gentlemen, high IQ is going extinct. And that means bitcoin and Lightning is going extinct.

It’s hard to argue with you on the general intelligence level, but it’s also hard to ignore the fact that Bitcoin is more accessible than ever and has only been getting easier to use with time. Hopefully the ease of use will make up for the intelligence decline.

If BTC was $250k that would be $25B in BTC...but because of TARO and other asset homography based on sats, that value could be significantly more. An amount like that means the LN is really going to need fixing of its many issues quickly and innovation. Don't know, but I'm bullish AF
