bitcoin has no value without a functioning lightning network type of system

The rubber has to meet the road eventually. Bitcoin's main use was the drug market, which would give each coin a value of something like $10-100 at most. The rest of that is all expectation of future growth. For those expectations to be realized, it will have to expand TPS beyond that of a settlement network or blow up.
