TLDR - oops - I missed the Lightning table ..... wonder why. I think I am assuming a multi layer world that is a parallel to todays physical world - Might want to read the Book Layered Money by Bha...
I've read Layered Money.
As much as I respect Nik Bhatia, "it's always been done that way" is not a valid reason to continue doing something (layered monetary systems).
The entire first half of Nik's book makes many strong cases *against* attempting to build a layered monetary system.
It's one of the biggest problems that's led to our utterly broken fiat system.
You can't scale technologies in layers. You can only build applications in layers.
