"This is the end of Lightning as a niche technology and the beginning of Lightning as a (ubiquitous) Service. In a few years, Lightning functionality will be so universal that nobody will even notice it any more, and it will be so useful that nobody will want to live without it. Like phones. Like shoes. Like concrete. Like the alphabet." - Roy Sheinfeld

Destroying the barriers to entry and use, removing delays for onboarding and receiving your first payments, eliminating the problems of hosting and always being online, and making the process of plugging into lightning a matter of a few hours, not days or weeks.
