From https://river.com/learn/how-many-people-use-bitcoin/
"At approximately 32.9 million active entities, this would mean the average non-exchange, non-miner entity owns 0.46 BTC, or around $12,420. The median is significantly less, at 1.34 addresses per user and the median address holding roughly 0.005 BTC, the median entity would have roughly 0.0067 BTC, or around $180.90."
180.90 as a 'median' (if these figures are to be believed). That's... 189k Sats give or take per person at median. That's probably on the 'low end' of what's required to open a Lightning Channel?
meaningless stats that doesn't prove liquid is required.
Also is missing an important piece: private LN channels. Nobody knows how many there are and how much liquidity is in those private channels.
Onchain stats are meaningless in bitcoin usage.
Onchain addresses are used EXCLUSIVELY for opening/closing LN channels.
