All the news of advances for Bitcoin are nice.

But in LN some actors are entering the game ...,of dubious origin, banks, institutions, startups, supported by the same. Roll Eyes

This as news is fine, you do not have the coins immobilized in LN waiting.

Crypto payment platform Bitrefill has launched Thor, a service that allows customers to open Lightning channels on demand. Thor will connect to Bitrefill's node on the Lightning Network, allowing users to receive Lightning payments whether they have bitcoin loaded into their Lightning wallets or not.

I would be very glad to have banks joining Lightning Network. That would be great news. This may sound impopular, but I have my reasons to think that would have a great outcome for all hodlers.

P.S.: I will stand it again: What I want is to control the most part of my financial, I don't care what banks/payment processors or whatever control my petty cash.
