Tipping point: payment terminal.
What's holding Bitcoin adoption back the most isn't people that want to pay with Bitcoin. It's businesses accepting Bitcoin.
The biggest leverage to change this is giving payment terminals the option to pay with Lightning.
It's a catch-22; businesses won't accept it if customers never use it, and they cant force customers to use it.
Payment is pretty trivial; we've had btcpay, Coinos, etc for a while now...

Block (The owner of Square terminals) are best positioned for this. POS systems like Toast, Clover or Square should find avenues to integrate with lightning.

Yeah, just like the year of the Linux desktop I'm sure it will happen soon... any day now ...
