Lightning Network requires users to run a full node and an always-on internet connection to make payments somehow possible. Now consider how such a system works on mobile phones that often get offline due to poor reception or a dead battery. Probably the Blockstream Core solution would be to use your phone to connect back to your desktop full node, thus needing to open some ports and pay notice of your router IP (that is mostly not a fixed IP!). Consider the security risks and try to explain this to everyday users.
Lightning Network is the biggest clusterfuck in crypto.
Core only way out is custodial wallets, so is important to keep reminding people "Not your keys, not your coins".
Bitcoin Cash is like having a time machine so that you can go back and buy cheap REAL Bitcoin before anyone else.
edit: lol, 10 seconds after posting for my first downvotes. Blockstream puppets are constantly online trying to control what gets to the front page. I hope they are being paid minimum wage on BTC so they go down with the ship.
