Ever meet someone with a startup idea that is really an insanely complicated way of achieving something people already can do? It's like, you want to tell them "people will never do steps m,n,o,p,q,r,s and t because that's not how people think, and they have other simpler ways to get what they want.

That's the Lightning Network.

Thats also bitcoin/cryptocurrencies. Decentralized money is insanely complicated compared to centralized money. There is no efficiency here.
