If yes, why not make it a custodial protocol to start with to remove all the complexities of a truly decentralized system?<br/><br/>The reasons I ask is because:<br/><br/>1) payments is a highly competitive industry with very low margins, LN will be constantly fighting all the world&#39;s banks and payment systems (and musk soon), and it&#39;s going to be an uphill battle for LN because it&#39;s a decentralized system and fiat solutions are actually reliable and pretty neat UX wise.<br/><br/>2) Non-custodial low-value payments do not have quite the same ring as non-custodial storage of large amounts of value, I fail to see why any kind of censorship resistance is even needed in majority of LN payments. 2023-10-30T10:59:08Z
