Bitcoin IS lightning and lightning IS Bitcoin.
No split.
But when it comes to development the teams are completely different so many different teams are working on lightning implementations. LDK, CLN, LND, Eclair. All have different ways of implementing the protocol with different features. Saying this statement is not being honest

Are there people who care about bitcoin but not about lightning or vice versa?
reply
Just trying to understand the use case. Is it about focus?
Like sometimes, you want to focus on lightning content and vice versa?

It's all about creating gangs, division and never focus on the same path together...

Gangs? That is how the code base is. Plus it’s a public open source project. Humans since the beginning of time are splintered into different groups. But the best ideas that give humans the best chance to live and prosper will win. And the losing groups adapt if they wish or remain completely out the system. Like are we expecting the Amish to adopt bitcoin when they barely use electricity

ALL are lightning. Otherwise are shitcoins...
