Lightning is ideally suited for low margin businesses where payment processing costs are large relative to profit margins.

Here's why:
⚡ Lightning is a debt-free payment system, removing counterparty risk and reducing payment costs.

⚡ Debt gets replaced with liquidity, which is an inflation-free way to resolve payments.

⚡ Lightning channels are reusable payments infrastructure, gaining efficiency with each lightning payment versus on-chain Bitcoin transactions or traditional card payments.

⚡ The swap space required is the monthly NET payment inflows. Any payments made from a lightning business reduce the swap space required, saving on costs.

Lightning Network becomes a competitive edge for the pioneers of better payments through reusable, inflation-resistant, and trustless infrastructure.

I feel lightning is used for many small payments that need to be made quickly.
Big payments can happen on the main blockchain, taking a bit more time.
