In the physical world, there are Gold and there are Silver., where silver has its used because gold is scarce and hard to get. In the digital world, if Bitcoin is Digital Gold, there is no need for Digital Silver because second best is useless. In the digital world, there's no difficulties is accessing or getting bitcoin compare to any other crypto. In fact, it is easier. Thus, there's no relevance to digital silver. There is no point being second best. The second best is as irrelevant than the 99th.

Usually when 2 neighbours are fighting, both are angry. But in a war, both countries are angry, rightly or wrongly BUT some 3rd parties are very happy and getting rich. It's laughable if you think either Israel or the Hamas is the bad guy. Both of them are the bad guys but there another Big Bad Guy happily profiting from it and are certainly not angry.

True to what @Michael Saylor holds, there is no Second Best. If Bitcoin is like Digital Gold, there is no Digital Silver.

Running a Lightning Node is so cool and yet so complicated. Who to open channel to that have good connections where making payments to various parties have 99.9% chances of success?

Why should an average person invest their money and take risk instead of just saving their money? B'cos govt print money and devalue your money. Ok, I take risk and invest. Govt: "ah.. you invest and gain eh? We taxing it. What? You lose money? Too bad, be smarter next time." Govt create a problem for you. You try and mitigate the problem. You failed, the govt smirks. You are successful, govt creates another problem on your successes.
