Monero losing value to Bitcoin is a red herring.
If you're a cypher punk, then you're not worried about an increase in value, but an increase in utility.
However, I see your point as losing money was mentioned. To that, I would just say, don't hold all your money in monero.
Unfortunately LN is really hard to attack because there are so many edge cases. Which version do I attack without making a straw man?
The custodial WoS? The difficulties of running a node? The failed payments? The FC in high fee environment?
No matter what one argues, you or Darth or some other dev who bleeds code will argue that aCtUAlly LN is really easy and suuperr private.
But I reject that. I would say it CAN be private. But it's not a default state. LN is a network, and just like governments running Tor exit nodes, an attack on LN could be hidden. What IF a country was snooping the data or observing it?
I'm not saying that's happening, but can a user who ONLY wants privacy but doesn't understand LN guarantee to themselves that they have 100% privacy all the time?
