LN has 75k channels right now and 3k BTC locked https://1ml.com/

Did the GP provide any specific reason why LN can't scale other than "here's a link to youtube from 2018?"

I'm not really sure if this is the proof I'm looking for.

The author of the video was explaining how the LN works and it seems to be an exponential routing calculation problem ( similar to traveling salesman )

So while it could work for 75 k channels, it's not going to work for 1 million.

If the explanation of that video is correct (since you didn't disagree that), then how many channels it has now is irrelevant from my POV.

Found this, so i believe it's still a valid problem: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16155835
