How isn't Lightning Network not the center focus of bitcoin?

Lightning Network has improved SO much. My experience with LN has been so good and easy.

Wallets like Phoenix are so simple, users doesn't have to care about any technical details.

There was barely any LN back in 2017. If there's a surge in bitcoin price, LN and community around it is the only thing I can assign this value to.

How are we not talking about it?

EDIT: I'll add some advantages that makes LN special

Improved privacy. Onchain level suffers a lot from privacy leakage.
Scalability
Low fees
Great community: Many merchants and businesses involved with an excellent bunch of open source builders.
Staggering amount of innovation and ideas in mailing lists and forums.

What are the possible outcomes from the NYAG Tether (USDT) verdict?

(I always get the feeling USDT is not discussed as much as it should be).

I thought there was going to be a verdict in January. Coingeek article says there should be a verdict this month.

Is the worse case a fine, or could there be something more which could cause it to go off the 1:1 peg like it had to 0.85 in 2018 and/or destabilize the crypto exchanges?

Just got a call from a "Mary" a foreign accent woman who has a great investment opportunity in cryptocurrency. Thanks a lot Ledger

Just got a call from a "Mary" a foreign accent woman who has a great investment opportunity in cryptocurrency. Started off by asking me whats my experience trading and after telling her I was broke and homeless due to covid, she directly said I know you have cryptocurrency. This is crazy, I really hope there this a class-action lawsuit against the Ledger.
