>  the significance of being able to do this

Back in 2020 when I started running my nodes it blew my mind what I was doing. For years I have worked with payment processing on the dev side. I dont think people understand how incredible bitcoin is. 

Before I ran a lightning node I was a bitcoiner but it unlocked a much deeper understanding and conviction. 

Honestly, it's not about lightning. Lightning isn't perfect. But even so it isn't that hard for a skilled person to do and that blew my mind. Still running the same node 5 years later. The knowledge and consequences of that knowledge are well worth the cost of running the node in time and money to me. 

I frankly dont care if morons don't want to understand that.

I’m not surprised by informed or thoughtful criticism. 

There are some who totally miss the significance of being able to do this, though.

Undisciplined

Don't be too shocked about some Bitcoiners not liking any form of financialization. It's just a preference to not be building fee upon fee upon fee, and many have fears of further centralization pressure and (unnecessary) complexity. I used to be among these.
