Coingate is a major payment processor, whether you like it or not. In this case, it doesn’t accept Monero, but my point was to highlight the limited adoption of Lightning so you can see the echo chamber that Nostr represents—or the Bitcoin influencers who dress up as Star Wars characters.

Something hasn’t been done right with Lightning, which is why its adoption rate is so ridiculously low.

As I said, I have the ability to criticize the tools I use; others don’t have that ability to criticize what they use, thinking that what they use is the best and that they are perfect. If you aren’t realistic with yourself, you won’t solve anything.

You can fool others, but not yourself.
