So since lightning (or Bitcoin generally) isn’t ‘widely accepted’ isn’t not worth spending? What?

Lightning has not accomplished this and at its best requires so much compromise to work for most people that even if it technically operates on bitcoin, no one interacts with actual bitcoin in the end.

It's very unfortunate that while Lightning was designed to improve cost, speed and scalability; some tool an advantage of its openness and saw an opportunity to introduce shitcoins onto the LN.

You're better off using dollars or any other kind of fiat. Or just the main chain if you must.

How is that even possible to be better off using fiat?
