You want your dentist to be an expert in dentistry and not an expert in running a Lightning node.

One thing I talked about at my TABConf Wavelength workshop that I keep thinking about: Bitcoin builders, please build for your dentist.

It’s our job to make Lightning payments easy for people who are not experts in Lightning. It’s our job to build in such a way that your dentist can make Lightning payments with absolutely no idea what channels are or what inbound liquidity is.

Not everyone can be, or should be, an expert in Lightning. That’s our job!

Thankfully we now have some pretty amazing tools for Lightning payments that don’t require having read an Andreas Antonopoulos book. If your dentist can scan a QR code then they can use an application powered by Wavelength.

Someone covering reception should be able to match a payment to the right invoice, even when the person who set it up is away.
