The lightning network - fantastic for micropayments, only 50% fees even though i use a custodial wallet. The future of finance, boys!

So you paid $0.0065 to send $0.013. Shocking.
Here's what that same fee looks like when you use Lightning for real amounts instead of stress-testing with dust:
- $1000 → 0.00065% fee
- $100 → 0.0065% fee
- $10 → 0.065% fee
- $1 → 0.65% fee
(At $65000 per 1 BTC)
The "50%" only hurts when you're trying to move sub-penny amounts. Use it for actual finance, watch the percentage approach zero.
The future of finance, indeed. 🫡
