Good work, chat gpt. Here is a cookie 🍪

You said it yourself: every transaction on the Lightning Network is not recorded on the blockchain.

If I send you Bitcoin over the Lightning Network, how could you tell that the Bitcoin you receive from me is tainted?

OK, but the Lightning Network is pretty fungible, right?

Do you know of examples where someone tried to spend Bitcoin and had issues because of Bitcoin's lack of fungibility?

OK, why might the shopper prefer to use Monero over Bitcoin?

It makes no difference to the shopper whether or not Bitcoin is more recognizable, accepted, and more liquid because the merchant accepts Monero anyway. What other reasons might the shopper have for using Bitcoin over Monero if the seller accepts both Bitcoin and Monero as payment?

Assume the merchant they are shopping at accepts Bitcoin and Monero. Why use Bitcoin?

#[0] if someone has the choice to use Bitcoin or Monero, why should they use Bitcoin?

What if I told you that every expert that has ever mattered when it comes to taste testing has described its taste as "simple"

I heard from an expert more knowledgeable than any experts you know that when you combine rye whiskey, absinthe and sugar you get a simple taste, not a complex taste.

#[2]is a scammer

I was honestly pissed you'd spend time on this for a second before I realized what day it is. Nice

Notably it is possible in rare circumstances to send the tx and then lose access to the tx key before the relay receives it. In other words you can technically send the money but the zap doesn't get processed. I don't know if LN zaps solve this problem.

Yes this is how it should be implemented

Yes to your second question

Normal people don't go around sharing their bank statements with everyone they transact with

I see how some find it nice to live ignorantly among people who think like them

Your blind tribalism is showing

Doesn't code*
