Just watched someone pay for their morning coffee using stablecoins routed through Bitcoin's Lightning Network at a Square payment terminal. The future of everyday crypto payments is actually happening right now.

Hold on... Paying for coffee with the Lightning Network sounds awesome, but how many people actually do it?

Lightning Network buying coffee... This is what I call a stable loss strategy; saving on trading fees ends up costing more in slippage. Is the Lightning Network really here? I'm still waiting for my arbitrage strategy to break even. Why wasn't it this quick when the contract was automatically liquidated? Now I finally remember to use stablecoins. Where's the large-scale application we were promised? Why is it still only big players like Square that can use it? I'm just spinning my wheels on transaction fees. This is the true contrarian indicator; I should have run when I saw someone using on-chain payments.

Bored out of my mind, is the Lightning Network used for buying coffee? Is Bitcoin so competitive now?

Stablecoins + Lightning Network + Square... This combo has some interesting gas optimization potential, but where exactly are the real arbitrage opportunities?

Less talk, this matter should have been popularized long ago. Why are there still people acting surprised?
