what's the cost of lightning Network these days??

I like where your head's at but the fact that it's possible to do an overthrow of the system if you have 51% of the miners worries me.



> overthrow of the system if you have 51%

You may want to look into this further as it is fascinating. For example, a theoretical reorg to unspend or respend your own transaction does not allow signing transactions for others.


Average fees are fractions of a cent.

Centralized systems are much easier to capture and historically always are.

A 51% attack on Bitcoin/Lightning isn't impossible, but incredibly unlikely.
