The people creating LN are the same people who wanted BTC Core to be the main BTC fork. they voted to limit Block size in 2017, Thus creating the problem of "BTC can't scale". They then went on to develop LN which is the "solution" to BTC cant scale. This solution apparently has a backdoor which would let them steal peoples Bitcoin.
btc can still be hodled ...but as the price moves higher ..the mempool fills...it becomes unusable for the world that need it more today than ever before.
Bitcoin BCH....was the way to scale btc and its ready to be used by the world today...fast instant tx with ultra low fees..all 100 % pow decentralized.
Will be interesting to see what happens to btc mempool etc as LN tvl begins to drop all the way down to 0.
