How do you envision the next five years of the lightning ecosystem evolution playing out? What is your most optimistic outlook for what the world could look like in five years with Lightning (and Bitcoin)?
LN overtakes all closed payment rails (Visa, Mastercard, Swift, ACH, etc). At least 2B people can now participate in the global economy and send remittances/payments for nearly free. We'll have a huge wave of innovation as entrepreneurs develop new business models and applications based on an incredible new primitive: payments that are instant, global, and programmable. Companies like Breez are successful in creating the tools necessary for non-custodial applications to thrive so that those who wish to hold their own keys (in a very user friendly way) are able to do so. A general golden age ensues :)
