Let me rephrase the previous statement that the other person made.

Very few entities of any important use the lightning network.

And by "of any important" I am referring to actual, real life merchants and point of sale devices.

Let me know when actual physical locations are accepting lighting transactions, in the same quality as however many merchants are on BitPay.

The whole point of this stuff, is to actually be able to buy and sell real life goods. And on that metric, the lightning network is indeed used by very few people.

Number of people who use lightning network and don’t know how to use a terminal is probably less than 10.

Not even darknet markets - the original (and only?) bitcoin use case - use it.

"in the same quality as however many merchants are on BitPay."

On that metric, the link that you posted fails.

Paid or unpaid is the real question.

No thanks. I don't have any use for it nor do i want to deal with that capital gains tax nightmare.
