I like the explanation, but none of it explained why LN-BTC is a wrong term. I know how Lightning is a payment network for Bitcoin, and your hypothetical statement of how it gives nocoiners and shitcoiners the idea of multiple types of Bitcoin existing has not happened yet. They can always tell I'm talking about Bitcoin over Lightning, and there's the people that cannot, which is due to a general lack of understanding of Bitcoin as a whole.

Read again, the answer is there.

As I said, is only BTC (bitcoin).
The (wrong) terms used by exchanges (shitcoin casinos) and garbage news sites, like L-BTC, LN-BTC create the false impression (especially to clueless noobs) that there are many types of BTC.
LN is just the payment network for Bitcoin, as it is VISA for fiat. That's all. I will not even call it layer 2, because is absolutely the same sats you transact onchain only that are not (yet) broadcast into a public tx on the blockchain. Read more about HTLC to understand this concept.
Because I care too much for Bitcoin and to be thought to noobs in the right way.
One thing is to be an educator and another thing is to be an influencer...
As the other terms, wrongfully used:
When you talk about Bitcoin, use only BTC or sats. BTC term is for a tx onchain, sats is for a payment over LN.
Remember this:
transaction is not the same as payment, remember that.
