This. Most people don't understand basic economics (which is why we live under a fiat regime in the first place) to grasp concepts like channel liquidity and a balance that is partitioned between layers. Still, I admire @DarthCoin 's ruthless wall-of-text education on Lightning for those who are capable and willing to learn.

Yes, is a a lot of text, I know. Why so much ? Few days ago I was onboarding a total noob, but smart young dude. So he start asking questions and little by little I end up telling him this whole story. Took no more than 15-20 min until he get it with this analogy. For him was a great experience learning this stuff, but yes, I agree, not all people are smart enough to listen or read this whole text. Many have a short span attention and are lazy.
The text is for those who want to learn. All the rest... fuck'em'all.
