I'm really glad you brought this up. I wonder the same thing. In this case, there might have been a benefit. Maybe it's worth going into more detail. Cash app does a very automatic switch between bitcoin and dollars. But, in my case, I wanted to be paid in lightning for a number of reasons, one of which was the possible increase in on chain fees causing issues. Anyway, the trailer and my new tenant are in a state where cash app offers lightning. Where I am in NY, cash app doesn't. So, the tenant had to learn the difference between on chain and lightning. I would prefer payment to my own node anyway, so he had to learn to pay a lightning invoice to make his first payment to me. That's something, I guess.
And also (and also, harder to see) is the invisible infrastructure trail that accrues.
Have you ever spilled something sweet and then found a trail of ants snaking from your dropped jam to some distant lair outside? Something like that, I think -- the channel flows, the capital allocation, the tendrils being sent out, knitting into pores of the brick. And so, too, for the mental infrastructure slowly built out and reinforced.
Hard to assess, but real. So def worth doing and caring about. But maybe valuable in a different way than we usually think.
