about the 5), "transmitting value trought time" is your first definition of money, and is a point where bitcoin excel and monero fails. With lightning bitcoin become better in trasmitting trought space. Still monero is also bad in trasmitting trought space, as is designed to being pretty unverifiable as more people would ever start using it.

First, it's not my definition it is the definition of the most renown Austrian economists who popularized the field that Bitcoin maxis are ostensibly fanboys of (Menger, Mises, Rothbard, etc)
Monero is constantly transmitting value though space just fine especially where i matters (free markets AKA black markets). If it becomes a SoV is yet to be seen since as it's currently in the MoE phase which is a precursor to SoV.
Gold total supply was never "verifiable" (and still isnt), but it still became money for humanity for thousands of years.
Yes, lightning is also transmitting value through space in tinier amounts, but almost entirely through custodians which defeats the entire purpose of Bitcoin (removing trusted third parties). There is almost no reason to use Bitcoin over fiat if you are trusting third parties and asking permission anyway. Maybe you guys will fix it's UX deficiencies at some point, and proliferate self-custodial permissionless transactions, then you'll have a stronger argument.
lightning frankly is just good todsy in UX, with a solution like phoenix you have bolt12 for hinding sendere/receiver and a fantastic non-custodial UX just with a smartphone app. If you are a bit more techie and want to try something more powerful and sovrein you can try zeus that start working well.
If you want to take the things serioisly you can always run a node.
I things the UX is became better than monero, its only that people understand how a shitcoin works, and lightning need too study a little the new thing.
i've heard monaros citing the "can't scale to everyone" argument which is absurd because everyone can't use monero either
they don't understand that lightning uses onion routing to send payments, it's pathetic
they do, you just don't listen.
Lightning users love to point this out, but it's only somewhat similar to onion routing.
Every node on Tor is directly connected, or has the potential to directly connect, with every other node. Lightning Network payment channels do not fully-connect.
The entire network and the network topology is also publicly known for routing nodes and natural incentives of this mean traffic consolidates to a few large nodes negating any remaining similarities or benefits of Tor.
