Andreas has a great video up on YouTube that you should check out. He answers quite a few questions and clears up some very real misconceptions. One thing that made me scratch my head a bit was that Andreas seems to say Litecoin is an alternative to Bitcoin if you don't want to use LN and would rather just send payments on the blockchain. He states that Bitcoin is the best path forward when wanting to use the Lightning Network. However, Litecoin was the first to do an atomic swap with Bitcoin on the LN testnet and is working hard developing a BOLT (Basics of Lightning Technology) compliant Litecoin Core wallet.
