Yesterday I asked why lightning network isn't growing exponentially and what the missing ingredient is. And I believe I have figured it out. There is no money in it.
not enough businesses accept LN so there isnt much demand to use it. Ask someone in El Salvador and youll get a completely different answer compared to someone who lives in china. overall LN is just starting.

As Bitcoin adoption grows and transaction fees rise we will see a rise in lighting usage. that's my thought. Lightning is still growing and I think it is good that we aren't seeing massive adoption. The tech is still new and the tools are getting better each week it seems like. Still a long way to go though. It is happening gradually and then it will suddenly exponentially.

There's some money to be made, but with the as-is operational costs, it's far from a sure thing that you'll make money.
