OP, I believe it's censorship-resistance, and true sovereign ownership.
Censorship-resistance. We can send and receive value to, and from anyone around the globe freely, with no one having the capability to censor us.
True sovereign ownership. We control our own private keys, with no one in the globe having the capability to take value away from us.
Bitcoin is it's own financial system.
so with mindset today about BITCOIN. can you now see why LN is not the thing that you should be hoping for. over promoting. salivating over with your chums
LN = CO-SIGNED control
LN = payments only made if people involved are online
LN = locking up value into a timelock someone else prefers
LN = having to get others agreement
essentially LN does not fit the same priorities, ethos of bitcoin.
