100% agree.
100% agree. I've seen the 'real estate' game in person... and while I can understand why real estate is nice and 'people like it'... in many areas it has gotten ridiculous.
We need better energy-based stores of value other than people just buying houses.
With reference to the above and Lightning... I really want to see more lightning-based businesses, use cases, and websites or applications. Lightning doesn't necessarily have to 'pay for things' like you pay for your groceries. It could be a long time before that is 'commonplace' if it's ever really widespread.
But I do think we'll see it become common eventually on websites because it just makes websites and small businesses so much more interesting and high-quality. It adds so much 'depth' in my opinion.
Add some lightning to a forum or a Twitch or a Youtube or a whatever... and you greatly incentivize higher-quality content, anti-spam, and the truth and consequence that comes with sending and receiving Sats.
When the 'sats are down' even just a few people care they pay attention... and I think that's a better quality internet and everyone would want that eventually.
Plus you get rid of a lot of the bots and spam - I can't go on Twitter anymore because of all the spam and bots everywhere. With pay-to-post the bots couldn't afford it it cleans up an experience in my opinion
