I've been around the Lightning scene for a few years now, and consider myself to have a pretty good idea of how things are going, and how the current ordinal stuff is affecting lightning with high-price channels, costly force closes etc
I'm full-on Bitcoin-only (have been for many years), but I've always felt like it's worth being one foot behind and just observing how L2 protocols progressed. Admittedly, I got into Lightning pretty early from a technical standpoint as I wanted to understand the ins and outs - But I left Liquid on the side (for some reason felt it wasn't as accessible).
I'm looking for info on how Liquid is doing in contrast. What are its challenges, are there any benefits under the current climate etc With services like Boltz.hq, I would imagine Liquid would have a wider adoption by now given it intially set out to do what Lightning does.
Any must-see/follow resources or educated opinions are welcome.
