Wondering how often you guys are using onchain vs Lightning.
I have noticed over the last 6 months or so how my use of lightning has grown exponentially. I still use onchain 7 or 8 times a month but using lightning daily or even multiple times per day now.
How about you?
Only on-chain. Lightning will be new and used for web3 projects. The positive fact is, that I found more and more with LN.

Same here. I really only use on chain for transferring my sats to cold storage. Everything else is LN.
Yup. Transfer to cold storage, transfer to my kiddos (in lieu of allowance) is pretty much all I use onchain for. My oldest has a zebedee wallet, so lately I am also using lightning as well to give him little tips 100 sats, 1000 sats etc for being helpful around the house.

Same. I avoid on chain BTC like the fucking plague. Too volatile, and I don't have time to wait an unknown amount of time for confirmation either.

Onchain for bigger amounts and lightning for smaller amounts.
So yes, lightning is for daily use. Onchain something like couple times in a year.
Wow only a couple times a year? I send sats to cold storage weekly. I am daily DCAing.

Excluding my SN usage ...
I use Lightning a couple times a week to pay friends for stuff. I pay my office rent on-chain monthly.
Very cool that you can pay your rent in Bitcoin. I need to spend more time in Texas. Sadly only a couple months a year and the rest of my time I am in the communist republic of Canada.
The day I ever step foot in Texas will be a cold day in hell. Can't wait until it either turns blue or we give it back to Mexico.

I use Lightning for small amount e.g. < $40. For large amount I prefer onchain transaction.

I now only use Lightning Network and I keep On-Chain the BTC I am HODLing.
I do not see the advantage to transact On-Chain. Unless somebody can point me one.

Whenever possible, I always prefer Lightning.

Why would I want to wait 4 confirmations before I can trade my sats for cuckbucks?
If there was more things I could buy with sats I wouldn't even need to do that trade at all.
We are so early.

I only use on-chain to push to cold storage and my LN is around apps like SN, Nostr and just trying out all the apps that are starting to roll out support for it

on-chain feels like the future of money and lightning feels like magic.

Pretty much on chain for anything not peer to peer such as my DCA etc.
All other usage is LN

i use lightning more often than I used to but still probably use on-chain more. I expect that to change as retail pos use of the lightning networks grows.

Lightning wherever I can, but some places/people only accept on chain. Also in NY USA it is difficult to on/offramp with LN. I was hoping for something like cash app to fix this, but LN service is available to all states except NY in that app. So if I want to fund my lighting, I need to fund on chain like USD->BTC->LN. I imagine some services offer straight USD->LN.. just not here. I assume due to the Bitlicense.

Mainly onchain.
When I'm buying coffee or something similar I use lightning.
Onchain tx in this environment are as cheap as they get (110sats).
With a 110 sat fee you'll be waiting 5-6 blocks for a confirmation. Stop lying and spreading false information please. Go look at mempool.space they are always spot on with their fee recommendations...
And nonetheless, even if it was only 110 sats, that's still expensive to some people when you can do the same thing, not have to wait an unknown amount of time for a confirmation, and not have to pay ANYTHING to transact and get a confirmation with other cryptocurrencies..
