I have to say I am skeptical of the whole lightning network idea. It seems anytime someone complains about unreasonable BTC fees that Bitcoin supporters claim lightning network is a godscend and is going to fix everything.

The reality is that no one has a clue if or when it will come and even then how can we know it is going to work. I really hope it works but I remain extremely skeptical. I mean they told me Segwit was going to fix everything and if it did I'm not seeing it.
