Is lightning just another place bitcoiners lose money trying to save on fees?

Full disclosure, I use lightning a lot more than I "use bitcoin", but I'd certainly consider having any SATs locked on the lightning network to be a huge risk. Everyone, in the end, just wants the bitcoin.

Are we having a bitcoin vs blockchain moment with lightning?

Building a "better bitcoin"?

Ugh. So much noise!

No, it’s not a better Bitcoin. It’s a way to use Bitcoin. Any layer on top of Bitcoin is a way to use Bitcoin. It’s a payment system that trades off trustlessness for speed of settlement.
