Was listening to theycallmedan the other day, and he was mentioning lightning and shared his thoughts about it. His thoughts are something to take into consideration, that eventually Lightning as a layer2 may end up being a less, but still centralized payment gateway.

For now, it's definitely forcing change in the traditional money system. We just need to be careful not to be making the same mistakes and errors. One of the biggest signs of that, to me, is that we're still calculating BTC and other cryptocurrencies back to FIAT. Then again, it takes some balls and some serious reserved money to be able to sell a corporate photoshoot for 2500 Satoshi (2500EUR) in my case for example. With Lightning, this seems to be much more doable in the near future as it eliminates most of the gas fees.
