bitcoin's dominance has always came from the utilities that it offers people all around the world without needing any kind of third party or middlemen.
using LN you are in a contract with another entity. meaning they need to be online and in agreement just to authorise your IOU
using LN to pay random outsiders you rely on other entities that need to be online, in agreement, and funded
LN is not a push to destination. LN is a get parties to hot-potato their balances on your behalf
and also the fact that bitcoin has always been one of a kind. and this will continue to be the case. things like lightning network that are added to bitcoin are always going to help improve it even further. so yes but it is more like saying in a race that the first person is far far ahead that others don't see him anymore, what can ensure his win!
bitcoin is/was a digital cash source to destination one transfer.
LN is like banking. where funds flow through the reserves of a local 'bank' then regional 'bank' the head office 'bank' then the destinations head bank, regional then local.. its why banks are identified by their 'routing/sort codes' so they can identify th path the funds need to route/sort through
LN is not new business idea/tech. its actually a very old business model. lock in gold make it sound like gold is expensive/slow to handle, offer some paper fast mthod of transfer but still try to persuade users not to settle back to real assets. if anything offer them other cheaper assets to exit via, such as nickel, copper coins
