Six million is not a huge country. The current lighting network can handle millions of transactions per second.

That’s been the claim for a while, yes. But actually delivery of said promises has always been “soon”.

And while six million isn’t a huge country comparatively, I personally would be mighty pissed off if my entire country was used as a massive financial experiment for crypto enthusiasts.

Has it handled millions of transactions per second before?

Last time I checked (2019) it was processing 5,000 transactions per month.
