Lightning Networks is not a solution for bitcoin to scale, and the market is not taking it seriously or using it.
Bitcoin has lost the ability to discuss the topic. It was tried in the past with block size increase (what would be the problem to increase it and not split the community), but blockstream guys have took over the development of this coin.

If bitcoin does not scale, then it will go to zero as any shitcoin.

LN is a solution, but it is not fully decentralized. How this will be adopted depends on what the general public thinks is more important: Scalability or decentralization. If there is a way to trust a third party, it might be a solution. LN is not fully developed now, or at least it isn't easy to use now. When wallets start adopting LN, we will see how the community will respond.

I don't see Bitcoin going to zero as it is the holy grail of crypto. There will always be people interested in owning some Bitcoin even if the product can't compete with other protocols.
