As a marketer, engineer, and exec lol, I think pickardt is off the mark here with us not getting a second chance. There’s many chances if you are actually making progress toward delivering a 10-100x improvement on something.

The LN network will Grow. I remember using Internet in the 90s. Very slow and lots of broken links. Anyone remember downloading files over usenet?
And look at the internet today!

Strike has probably sent more lightning payments than any other entity on the network. I'm pretty sure they have a pretty good idea of how reliable/unreliable lightning payments are. Better than Rene's jupyter notebook simulations...

Strike has well-funded channels with every major wallet, exchange, merchant there is.
Sending payments will not be a problem at all.

I'm confused what he means here. Why is it unreliable by design?

Payments frequently fail and the rate of failure increases for larger amounts … or so I’m told by friends who use Lightning even more regularly than me. I imagine this is mostly due to unavailable liquidity on the path from the sender to the receiver

And don’t forget channels going offline randomly. But hopefully over time it becomes more reliable.
