because #lightningNetwork is the payment system for #bitcoin and judging from the current demand most people who are interested in cryptocurrencies seem to want / prefer #bitcoin - this magical internet money - over alternatives.

Jack Dorsey's on Lightning
Electrum is one of the oldest Bitcoin wallets launched in 2011 and it upgraded recently. Electrum will be the first to launch LN technology, which is still considered to be under its nascent phase.
It gained some popularity in 2019 thanks to promotional soundbites by the likes of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey but is still broadly too technical for the average user.
