I tend to get comfy with my scenarios, a sofa will always be nearby... 🥸

For a stranger on the street of course waiting hours or more to see a tx is hell, at least if they don't offer you something to drink in the meantime.

So if you need to pay rent, let's say 0.01BTC, is OK to pay it onchain. The landlord then will consider it done, when will have 6 confirmations and also can wait for them, even that can take 1 day. Is not a big deal. He can see that is a pending tx and your intentions are good. In this case yes, there's a bit of trust, because if you try to scam him, he could come back to you and say "hey your payments was cancelled, pls can you do it again?"

I thought it was another scenario with a stranger that sells you some product online or something.

How would you share your balance with a third party?

😂😂😂😂 Yes.
You have to consider this:
- if you want instant settlement, use LN, even if you use it in small chunks.
- if you do not want instant settlement and you could wait for final confirmation, then is OK onchain, but do not use onchain for small amounts (smaller than 100k sats I would not do onchain).
