Why use LN when other simple L1 solutions already work great as money.
Litecoin (LTC) has cheap fees and lots of room.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is constantly improving and has a ton of transaction room to grow, with increases if/when demand grows.
Dogecoin (DOGE) not my favorite, but does work fine for the money use-case, but development, from what I can see is a bit stale.
With these existing simple solutions, I don't see why Bitcoin (BTC) has to be anything more than the unit of account other crypto projects value themselves against.
