Lightning and the Griddance of Bitcoin

I think there's a lot of engineering work engineering work has gone into lightning. And like the it feels like an open greenfield land of opportunity of cool new ideas. There are some people saying, Oh, hey, Bitcoiners are so focused on lightning as the be all end or what about other layer two ideas? Like, have you looked into any of that stuff? I do tend to read them as they come through. One of the problems we have is that the way to implement it depends on which soft forks give Bitcoin a lot. It kind of makes sense to sort of wait to see which soft works within that battle and then design around what the resulting thing is.
