From another thread, is it true that Lightning Network uses BTC values that aren't equal to their mainnet counterparts?

Does 1 mainnet BTC really ≠ 1 LN BTC?

Lightning would have been good, but I have one big problem: the value. 1 BTC ≠ 1 LBTC. Because of this, it is possible to lose a lot of money due to price fluctuations.

It would be damning if bitcoins on LN don't trade 1:1 (or at least close to it) against bitcoin, because that would impede people from moving their bitcoins to it.
