That's why blocksize increase is an increase in CAPACITY but not a scaling solution, and Segwit+LN is an increase in Scaling (and thus in capacity).

How do you plan to liquidate your tx LN in a disabled blockchain?
Oh, right, paying $ 100 in fees.

Increasing the size of the blocks is a scalability solution.

As I have previously said I am pro reasonable block size increases as needed to provide the adequate infraestructure for both on-chain tx's AND LN settlements.

Could you explain to me, please, how will the LN transactions be processed in a decentralized way?

It seems to me that the value of a currency comes from its utility.
If we artificially limit the use of bitcoin to offchain transactions, we are limiting its value.

Bitcoin can be a store of value as long as it maintains its usefulness.
