Oh nice we're mostly in agreement I think. I too don't expect Monero to moon compared to Bitcoin and wouldn't want it to since it would almost certainly require increased paperization through custodial holdings. I too agree the Monero culture is more pure and focused on usage. Like I said Lightning's got some great advantages and I use it myself, and I have a good level of confidence in its sending privacy with my setup. most don't have a setup like mine though and even learning how to do so took me longer than even setting up my public Monero node, thus its a non starter for most who settle with custodial solutions.
