To be honest, I've not yet took time to learn Fedimint because of the negative picture I have about the project. But with your above explanation, I'll my best to study it. Thanks a lot.

Fedimint is a scaling solution for bitcoin.

If somebody super smart manages to find a way to do 2. without sacrificing custody, I am all for it and will be happy. But currently this is not the case and we all need to accept the reality.

Fedimint is a scaling solution for bitcoin.
1. It is impossible for everybody to have a lightning channel. Run the numbers and you will see that opening a channel for everybody will take years.
2. With fedimint a new user can have ZERO sats and you can send them 10 sats with no problem. And he will have 10 sats. You can't do that with Lightning. And receiving a small amount of money is the natural first experience that somebody should have with bitcoin. "You have to have money to receive money" is really a big problem. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE people, stop pretending like this is not an issue.

P.S. Why do you say "Sorry" at the end?
