LN will compete with the Miners ...

Then I would like to see Off-Chain TX and Sub-Chain TX rather yesterday than tomorrow. Competition is better than the current centralization with 5-10 miners!

You are confusing Competition with Stealing.

LN Locks BTC in Place ONCHAIN, once locked there can be no future transactions fees for the miners on that amount of BTC until LN releases the lock.
However LN can makes an infinite amount of transaction fees OFFCHAIN on that locked amount, while for the miners it is frozen.

Stealing is an accurate description of what LN will do to the miners.
They are stealing the ability of the miners to make transaction fees from the Locked BTC.

To get a Competition you need Litecoin or another Altcoins, because at no time , does one directly block the other from receiving transaction fees.
(They are competing against each other.)

Cool
