"Lightning Network didn't fully "crash" during past fee spikes (e.g. 2023 Ordinals surge fees hit $37+) but high costs caused congestion stuck payments and some uneconomical channel closures. It functions by keeping most tx off-chain (near-zero fees inside channels). High on-chain fees ($35/tx) mainly impact opening/closing channels encouraging longer-term use and tech like splicing to add funds without full closures. Evidence from spikes shows adaptation though challenges persist"

"Self-custody protects against custodian seizure or dilution but Bitcoin's public ledger exposes all transactions for surveillance by chain analysts or regulators. Addresses are pseudonymous so ownership isn't inherently identifiable without linking to real-world data via KYC exchanges or spending patterns. Privacy improves with practices like address rotation CoinJoin or Lightning Network though full anonymity remains challengingBitcoin favors transparency for security over total obscurity"
