everyone prefers to use onchain. But it will happen for something else, another form of utility for users.
Do you have anything to back these statements? Arguments and / or sources?
Nothing definite, but do we see the many people in the community stop using onchain payments, and start using the Lightning Network? Have we seen a surge in adoption of Lightning payments that’s noticeable? Have we seen exchanges start adopting Lightning, instead of listing more “faster” shitcoins?
As part of everyone, I confess that it's been a long time since I made an on-chain transaction for purchasing something. I only purchase lightning-ly. So, I question your statement. I'd actually say that lots are already using the lightning network for payments, even if it doesn't cost that much to pay on-chain. It's cheaper, faster and more convenient.
What services/merchants do you Lightning for, and how much of Lightning was used for those services/merchants compared to onchain payments and shitcoins?
Lightning will realize its utility, but I believe it might not only be for faster/cheaper payments.
