correct. except now by transacting with one big hub and one channel we are basically back to basically having a debit card with a bank. Then tomorrow you wake up and find out Chase actually bought the mega hub you use and you go "wait, what was the point of all of this??"
The more i look at LN it seems like a Segway: The cool solution to a problem that nobody has, or if you do have the problem you cant use it. The average person in this subreddit is pretty happy with their use of banking/credit/debit card system and the protections that come with it. The people who would greatly benefit from LN are the poor people in Africa or India with no access to proper banking but how do they even hope to open/fund channels when their average income is $30/week?
