If you (A) sends to B (outside the US) and B sends to C (in the US), then A is still liable.

Sorry - that is NOT what the small world network allows
The fact there are connections does not lead to a path in 6 hops. This is a terrible problem, like a Knapsack, this requires checking a factorial level of path options
As lightning scales - the number of paths increases - super exponentially
That has 2 paths
BUT...
If there are 10 people - there are far more paths
1000... with each having no more than 5 connections forget it

"Decentralized means non-existence of a central bank. Emitters of this currency are the users or holders of "mining" computers who verify the transactions."
This simply defines "decentralisation" as a system without a central bank that has at least ONE miner
The authors contradict themself in the report.
First they claim nodes "mine"
They then state there are up to 100,000 nodes
As there are only 15 systems on BTC creating blocks, there is a contradiction here
Qualitative methodologies may explain the reason why individuals such as Mechkaroska, Dimitrova and Popovska-Mitrovikj (2018) hold a deep animosity towards scaling on-chain but will not allow for a solution that scales to be created. These authors note, “A major argument against block size increase is that it will cause increased centralization.” This perception and the reason to avoid scaling could be investigated.
This claim is something that may be tested - scientifically
Measure nodes. 15 right now in BTC
Count nodes
Not difficult
Right now, BTC has $111 fees - plus or minus
The fees are subsidised, but these are still paid for, and this will need to be addressed

Analysis of the Possibilities for Improvement of BlockChain Technology
Bitcoin and Smart Contract are the first major applications of the BlockChain technology. But, with increasing the number of transactions, the process of verification on every transaction is very slow. This is the reason for a third major innovation called…

I am not here to help you sell bitcoin. I should not need to help you if you want to sell a world with less corruption to people. A world where people are held accountable for their actions and one where short-term manipulations take second place to long-term stewardship is one that most people in society would be happy to embrace.
Greg and others will find that they can do very little now and the truth that you know of is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. It does not matter whether you like intellectual property, you live in a world of property rights and not one of Communist redistribution. It doesn't matter whether you think other people should be forced to work for you and allow you to use the product of their work effort without payment, for that is what a world without patents really is. If you don't like something, crying about it will do little.
More importantly, not a single thing you say about me will stop me from working or creating. You won't manage to slow me, divert me or change what I'm doing. The time where you could have done that is passed.

The most basic human right is the right to property.
This right is always taken by the collectivist, the communist.
In this, most have the most fundamental aspects of humanity taken away, that is without property, they lose hope.
Without property, there is no justice
Justice is not just law and legality, it is doing what is right.
we need religion ensures we are not enslaved to property, to allow us to understand the spiritual and to reject the purely materialistic

Those who dropout want to teach you that education doesn't matter.
Those who are rich want to teach you that money is credit. Those running credit want to make sure that you don't use cash.
Lightning and the other systems built on top of BTC merely seek to replicate the existing structure. They merely want to become paid hubs that take a percentage of the money you transfer. They want to sit and watch and hold your money and charge you for that privilege.
With bitcoin, the system is cash.
The money that you hold doesn't have a charge upon it.
The money that you hold you own.
With lightning, the system charges you a percentage of every transaction. The system charges you to keep channels open.
Instead of cash, you are returned to a credit-based system that others control.
I slowly convert Universities
I have made progress in a few, Exeter, GCU, Liberty a few others.
