Negative, very negative.
- Lightning can do everything these shitcoins can but better
- Bitcoin should be the ultimate freedom money and used everywhere where p2p digital payments can't be controlled by the state. Black markets being #1 in this regard
- The reason we are behind is because shitcoiners are/were on a massive coordinated propaganda campaign to get this market. And Bitcoiners didn't care about black markets: we were thinking about macro socioeconomical issues and structures instead. We need to do more ground work in the real world.
No it can't. Lightning has a huge UX problem to use without custodians and/or permission, with bad receiver privacy and lackluster amount privacy from larger nodes. And if you fix the UX problem with custodians or LSPs you lose any privacy benefits you had with it.
Black markets AKA free markets are highly adversarial environs and the proving grounds (Bitcoins origins). The only places that don't require permission for your transactions are outside white markets. Bitcoins entire value prop rests on that. That's why it's a huge fucking deal.
