LN throws off a lot of criticisms against Bitcoin, which is why you rarely see it mentioned.

I've been trying for a while to understand the Monero fan's idea of where they think that coin is going in the future. As a store of value, it fails against BTC. If it (somehow) were to get mass adoption and was accepted as a medium of exchange, it would fail in regards to decentralization since they have a dYnAmIc block size and running a node would eventually become impossible for the average user (without pruning). Then there are the hardforks, which is laughable centralization.

I feel like the extreme privacy advocates that push Monero on their readers are just one step away from being absolute Bitcoiners, I just don't know what that step looks like.
