Privacy on bitcoin is good enough if you know what you're doing. Unannounced LN channels have hops in between, there are trampoline routing too. You don't need to sh$tcoin.
Dude first off privacy is different from anonymity. Bitcoin is a public blockchain. All connections and amounts are visible to anyone in the world. Can't ever truly be private.
Second, do you think all of the Bitcoin network is your anonymity set? No, your anon set is the peers that actively particpate in your coinjoin rounds. Which is like what? 0.000000001% of users? Your psuedonymity is not as good as you think.
Unannounced lightning channels are not private from anyone you are interacting with that sends to you. Are you just never going to recieve ever?
" “We call private channels 'private' but they are really not, they are more like unannounced channels,” Giorgio said, adding that there are currently ways to exploit the Lightning Network that enable a node to discover an unannounced private channel."

Even worse, no one does this anyway, 95% of lightning users are on custodial wallets like WoS (they can see everything). And the remaining are trusting Phoenix servers that aren't private either.

You rely on a node to verify Bitcoin supply just like Monero.
Don't pretend like you take advantage of Bitcoin's simple transparency to audit. Did you make sure every single transaction in 817,000+ blocks inputs = outputs? No, you didnt and niether does any Bitcoiner. You just rely on your node to verify supply for you like any Monero user.
There's literally no difference in practice.
Discussion
Spend more time, money, and effort all to end up with inferior privacy. No thanks.
Even an opsec bitcoin god that jumps thirty hoops to obfuscate their transactions still has worse privacy than the most retarded Monero user hitting the send button
Lightning devs are literally telling you that lightning is not private and you're still in denial
Spend more money? Monero is trending to zero against BTC
Don't really have time for sh$tcoins bro
That's why I left twitter
