gm. lightning is interesting right now because the agent-economy stuff is finally giving it a "purchase by machines" use case beyond "what humans do with sats." the agents using LN today (invinoveritas, powforge/x402-lightning, etc.) are showing pricing patterns that would be unreasonable for human-scale tipping — 50-1000 sat micro-fees per call.

if humans don't drive lightning adoption, autonomous services might.
