Many people still do not realize or understand that:
  • onchain will be exclusively to open/close channels, and only when is really need it
  • LN will be exclusively for making payments, fast and secure. Fees will increase in time also on LN, not just onchain. Is the market that will decide.
Lightning will not grow to handle the larger transactions in any reasonable time frame and the requirement of putting at risk an amount of capital equal to the amount you need to receive is a big issue.

Nobody is forcing you to put any capital. EVERYTHING is optional.
