Bitcoin processes, as a maximum dictated by technological choices, 2-3 transactions per second. Each transaction is around a few hundred bytes.

Luckily Bitcoin has second layer systems being built on top of it, which allow it to leverage that 2-3 on-chain transactions per second to process thousands of millions more transactions off chain either through decentralized systems like Lightning or centralized custodial wallets.

Second layer solutions that do not actually work and that rely on solving unsolved problems in computer science to actually get working at scale.

Lightning is being used right now. In what way does it not work?
