LN has dozens of times more traffic than Monero and is booming in November.
Check out Kilian de Boltz's latest interview and ask yourself if Monero has that kind of activity.
Discussion
I am messing with you.
I think there are 2 aspects:
- LN main use case is to send payments not gain privacy and it is difficult/costly to launder big amounts.
- average person (media) does not think about LN as privacy service (government still needs average voter to be on their side - or at least not be against - to really drop the hammer) (and we should not change that ! :D )
(~ 2 years ago I tryed to anonymize ~1BTC over LN without leaving any trace, it was quite an effort - and I am not really sure I was successful)
