> I hear you about the electricity usage, but Bitcoin Lightning will drive down the usage so much that it will become a moot point anyways. This is wrong. ~98% of the incentive that miners get comes from mining new Bitcoin, not transaction fees. That is unaffected by LN, and if LN is widely adopted, will likely even go up (because it is denominated in Bitcoin and LN adoption may drive the price up).
