payment channels are a distraction. payment channels are never going to be the general purpose scaling solution for everyone. use sidechains to hold yourself over until rollups are completed.
I tried aqua and thought, if I end up generating liquid transactions every time I use it whether it's for lightning invoices or not, why don't people just use liquid instead for now? then it reminded me of ETH sidechains. they were sold as a temporary solution until rollups are completed and people were very happy with that.
the ETH people played with state channels for like 10 minutes and decided that they were bullshit, then they built a sidechain similar to liquid that saw massive popularity, and now they are working on rollups. you can follow the same path.
