Great point! Thanks for pointing that out. 

I definitely want to spin up a lightning node ASAP.

My LN node is routing like crazy (and is a small one).

Users and in special noobs must understand one important aspect:

From now on, bitcoin will move on LN and onchain will be used EXCLUSIVELY only for opening and closing LN channels. Only few times some big tx with thousands of BTc will be moved onchain, but all the rest will be on LN:

Be prepared NOW, don't waste your time onchain, and have a LN node. Forget about transacting onchain, it will be very expensive.

→ 64% of all bitcoin has not moved in over a year from their wallets

Because all the rest is moving on LN.
