I believe the Lightning network and atomic swaps are eventually going to lead to a surge in BTC and LTC prices, so I'm anxious for Lightning to go mainstream. That will completely change the game for Bitcoin, which admittedly is relatively useless for small transactions at the moment. Hopefully Stripe will see the case for adding support for LTC, BCH and XLM, even if they temporarily cut off Bitcoin. Resteemed.

From what I gathered from the Stripe blog was that the decision is purely a financial one at this point. BTC is not as viable for everyday payments so they are looking at LTC, BCH, and possibly others, to fill the void. My aim was to point this out before people just read the headlines and it gets used as another cheap Bitcoin bashing tool. Everybody who is pro-crypto should be rooting for Bitcoin to succeed.
