People still talking about high Bitcoin transaction fees pretending like the Lightning Network doesn't exist... it's almost as though they aren't keeping up with latest developments in the space, instead relying on old information they formed their initial opinion on.

Also El Salvadorians can use any app/wallet they want to transact over Bitcoin/LN. However, the government provides incentives to use Chivo. If the government is too exploitative people will move away from Chivo.

Once Chivo has 50% of the market, can they add a fee to send the BTC from/to other Lightning wallets?

Is there any guaranty that the database in Chivo is 100% backed by BTC?
