but yea even with a niche for 'spam'(repeat spenders above the norm) users, LN still has some flaws and also less security, less ethics and less of the ethos/point of why bitcoin was revolutionary. but as i said LN is not a bitcoin feature. its, its own network which many coins will use. which in itself will not help bitcoin if bitcoin devs continue to not progress bitcoin and instead aim everything in LN's direction as the solution

Thank you. So you agree Bitcoin could never be massively adopted in its current state ? With or without LN i mean.
So, Bitcoin code can be changed? Wow, I didn't know that. You mean it could theoretically one day become scalable and have low fees if we wanted? Why didn't we do it already? What's preventing developers from doing it? It's getting even more confusing than what I initially thought.

Also, apparently it could also theorically become PoS from what i've just read on the net, but the pools of miners would prevent it.

Anyway, even with the PoW still, why not change the code for scalability and lower fees? Who would NOT want that? It's insane.
