Lightning Network is a troublesome yet-another-layer, whereby Bitcoin Cash is plain sailing on the blockchain with high capacity, render everything on it.
Summary: It seems at first nice to have layers, pyramids have layers. Movement of money have layers. Politics have layers, or law making have layers. Soldiers have layers. Chess has two layers, pawns and the pieces. Or you can further distinguish between more valued pieces (rook, queen) from the bishop and knight. Your homes (Americans) have layers, like 5 rooms, 2 kitchens, 3 bathrooms, 2 toilets. Bank transactions have layers, middle men, bank fees, commission, conversion fee, GST tax, service fee, late fees, consultation fees, recipient fee.
But if you take your mind and blow it away, not unlike the Matrix - you can strip all layers to nothing. You can have one. One long line. Everything simplified. Minimalist.
This the ONE, you can do everything on it, on the blockchain directly. Just do it.
