Read_780 - Lightning is Doomed!

"A reality check on the limitations of Lightning Network, and what that means in terms of its long term viability. No, it's not doomed, but it probably won't be used the way you expected it to be."

~ Shinobi

How did we not see this coming and what new issues have arisen as Lightning has matured? Does this spell the end of lightning, or is there more to this story? Find out in today's excellent piece at Bitcoin Magazine from Shinobi.
