In the big rally in 2017, the talk of the town was whether or not bitcoin could become a useful payments system with the aid of the Lightning Network, which has since completed development and has seen release.

Anyone who's up on crypto know if bitcoin is actually usable for sending payments now? If a local coffee shop or something accepts bitcoin, is there any chance I can go in and pay quickly + without a massive fee using LN?

Or is bitcoin still treated like a risky asset and nothing more?
