What is Lightspark?

This isn't a popularity contest. Coinbase is cucked so any lightning implementation they use will need to be as well.
The good thing is we'll get to see soonish how hard it will be to go from Coinbase to sovereign private savings.

I actually don't know much about this bank.
Had me thinking about one that was located in Gibraltar and offering custodial solutions to accredited investors. I see the same problem with gold investment vehicles, which seems to be the exact analogue to how 'investors' trust the institution, the regulation, and it tracks the price of the underlying asset. The smaller the investor, the less the likelihood to take physical ownership, as with ownership of keys.

"Lightspark is the easiest, most reliable, enterprise-grade gateway to Lightning, enabling money to move just like bits and bytes do on the Internet."
I like to try to see balance and that sometimes the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
