Every time fees get high, everyone panics and we need 87 million hot takes on the subject. Then they always come down and that’s that. Get a Lightning channel opened during cheaper times, keep it balanced, and be done. There are so many tools to mitigate these high fees for even beginner users. Adoption is slow, people will learn on their own as we all did. We don’t need an instant “1 billion new users hit the network tomorrow, what will we do” solution to this. Layers and options are being built out and people will use them as the network scales.

crying wolf is only gonna get your ass 'bit'. these same people dragged their feet concerning lightning/node running. they have laughed at liquid network for years. now they are in a pinch again following their favorite influencer like bitcoin jesus 💩💩💩
Having a lightning channel makes no difference when you get a forced close in the midst of all this fee bs
Open multiple if you see that as a risk. This is a rare, unfortunate circumstance that is not the norm, and a convenient excuse for one who has not planned for this environment.
Convenient excuse? Sorry I lm fucking poor and cant afford to open multiple, especially now. What the fuck kind of elitist bullshit you talking here?
And where do I learn how to get a lightning channel opened?
Lots of videos online. Solutions like Phoenix and Breez are very user friendly ways to do it with minimal costs and almost no learning at all. There are also custodial solutions if you’re willing to make that trade off.
