The same tendencies that keep people away from bitcoin keep some bitcoiners away from LN.
- LN advocates oversell Lightning as infinitely scalable and problem free today.
- Skeptics are impatient for mass adoption and declare new tech dead early, just because it hasn't taken off as fast as they expected.
- LN incentives are more inclined to centralization than Bitcoin's.
- Some may worry that LN will undercut Bitcoin's security budget.
