His work is great! But a shared second layer with Bitcoin, including trustless swaps, would get us to $100 much sooner. The money is in Bitcoin not in Hive. In addition, you can have trustless swaps to Litecoin, for example, as the second layer can be shared across blockchains in the future, and almost anonymously (perfect with a stablecoin like HBD).

Of course, this is just wishful thinking, because Lightning is not fully implemented yet and I don't know if we would have programmers who can implement it.
