What is your favorite analogy between bitcoin lightning and electrical weather lightning?
chris guida had a really great analogy at the btc++ in Mexico City back in Dec 2022.
physical lightning apparently does a path finding down to the ground and then the charge actually shoots upwards from the earth? (or something like that)
the HTLC path works similarly in how it makes a lock-in path first and then a unlock to make the payment
