I am optimist about LN because I tested so many apps, nodes, solutions and create various scenarios with them, based on what people near me, IRL asked me how to use BTC in x scenario.
All my guides are real life scenarios, that I tested myself before I wrote those guides.
I do not like to talk about things I do not know or control. For example you will never see me into a discussion about writing code. That is my weak point, I know shit about coding.
But I know very well, economics, business, accounting, IT, networks, servers because all my life I was into these, I was the connection between end users and those building hardware and software. Usually developers don't bother too much listening what end users want or do not understand all the processes into a business. But my experience of many years in this field helped me see very clearly where each application can fit.
