It's great to see #LightningNetwork's growth, enabling faster and cheaper #BTC transactions. Yet, the routing issue indeed needs to be addressed.

I wonder why more folks don't consider using #Nano? It offers feeless, near-instant transactions without the need for payment channels or routing complexities. A pretty nifty alternative, wouldn't you agree?

@Kript I completely agree.
Motivations could be plenty…

* People don’t know nano
* People don’t understand nano
* People were mislead into thinking nano doesn’t work/is insecure/is centralized/isn’t reliable/etc.
* People are emotionally attached to worse alternatives
* People are financially attached to worse alternatives (businesses, miners, stakers, etc).
