There are just so many things I disagree with
this message, but let's take them from the ground up.
1. LN is overly Complicated.
Your opinion? That's clearly something personal. It surely is complicated for someone who doesn't know how to use Bitcoin, but someone who does? I'd rather say that he/she just lacks interest in it to say that.
2. Losing your Bitcoins when LN is a real possibility if you don't follow the overly complicated rules of LN.
Once you open a channel you're locking your funds on a multi-sig address that requires both signatures to spend from. Every time you transact off-chain, you sign your final balance and you're free to broadcast it whether your node wants it or not. So, how can you lose money if you "don't follow the overly complicated rules"?
3. Using an EXchange offchain transactions is cheaper and easier than LN.
Isn't this something good?
4. Altcoins like Doge do what Bitcoin used to do, except faster and cheaper.
You do get that the block confirmation time of dogecoin has its downsides, don't you? If the block generation happens that fast, it makes decentralization harder to achieve.
LN is no real solution, the altcoins such as Doge, have more onchain transaction capacity ,
so in the end they are better for actually using as digital money.
Lightning Network is a solution. It is very
practical to transact off-chain for small micro-payments instead of broadcasting them all one-by-one in the block chain. Can you please understand that once you broadcast a transaction it gets saved on hundreds of thousands of computers world wide? You can't really believe that broadcasting a transaction every time you want a coffee is a solution, because this isn't VISA. This is the Bitcoin network and decentralization costs. The Lightning Network is the closest thing we have to accomplish the scaling issue.
As for your dogecoin:
Pump it!
