> Years ago, LN was used to buy two pizzas. Today? Only two. Talk about scale!

I'm not sure I follow your point here. Are you implying that only 2 pizzas have been purchased using LN?

The channels are too small to be viable. There is too much at risk if you can't settle your money. Only the blockchain is settlement, which is why Bitcoin Cash made throughput a priority worth forking over.

I've literally bought $50 Amazon gift cards from Bitrefil multiple times, with the same channel. You should maybe take a fresh look at LN.
