A lot of software projects fail. Why the blind faith that LN will inevitably get better?

ICOs are like this too. Billions of dollars are rallied for technologies that don't exist, for founders who don't exist (their headshots are usually pilfered from stock photos), for problems that don't exist. And yet, funding!

This insanity would never happen if cryptocurrency wasn't involved. The multilevel marketing energy of crypto turns off critical thinking.

I don't have blind faith LN will get better. It already has gotten better from the first time I thought it was irrevocably broken.

There are also parallel scaling proposals.

All while on-chain transactions are extremely cheap and user experience improvements would help handle much more load than last year.
