That still isn't an argument against either LN or the long-term future of Bitcoin. For the most part, people aren't SPENDING those altcoins in the real world. The only economic activity is playing the markets. It doesn't matter how cheap or fast an altcoin is if no one accepts it in exchange for goods and services. Bitcoin is fast enough and cheap enough. That's all it needs to be.
bitcoin merchant adoption has DROPPED.
funny part is, it was your own words that highlighted that you know it. because in previous topics you admitted that coinbase and bitpay had to diversity their merchant payment tools to include altcoins because merchants were moving away from bitcoin
now customers when they go to merchants that accept crypto. get presented with a shopping cart that lets users choose which coin to pay with.
its no longer just bitcoin..
but hey all i see is lack of substance in your reply and just an insult.
come on atleast admit people do use other coins. im not saying the 99% of crap coins. but i mean the main ones like ethereum, litecoin for example.
(if you wish to flip flop/deny it. i would usually ask you to do your own research, but lets just spoonfeed you just this once

as for bitcoin network security.. ill just say "inflight upgrades" which your own words have said allows devs to slide in upgrades without needing the communities consent.
theres no need you to reply with your flip flop meanders on the topic.
you spent about a month saying that core dont and shouldnt need network permission.. so dont backtrack now. they have a backdoor to avoid consensus, which you seem to love
you have defended devs motives enough. but still lacked the concern for the network.
