Thanks, reading through this. lightning channels are a big issue right now...funny too bc I feel like i've been noticing more and more people complaining about channel fees lately.

Yeah, but there would be more demand to make them if we could get adoption going enough to need it immediately. If people were better educated about Bitcoin then we would quickly figure out the scaling stuff

"Quick" is never how changes to Bitcoin go. If you tried to soft fork something in quick, the social consensus of Bitcoin would rather shoot themselves in the foot than implement a change that wasn't communicated and discussed for at least a few years (see CTV controversy)
We will get them when people have been educated about them well enough over a long enough time frame for them to feel comfortable with accepting them.
