The same happens to Bitcoin. Using BTC Network and LIGHTNING makes a crazy difference in fees. What is really the difference?
Using the BTC network means that the individual, if he or she wants very quick confirmation on transactions, would have to pay a higher fee. The wait time is short. The reverse happens for a lower fee, resulting in a longer wait time before confirmation. In the Lightning Network, there are no congestions or high fees, as all transactions are done off-chain; therefore, they are very cheap and fast. I will pick the Bitcoin network over the Lightning Network because it is more secure, and transactions carried out there are recorded permanently and cannot be altered.
