I know, I use LN too. This is just a temp account to test a Monero client, I didn't set up any address on it. Unfortunately, LN contracts are secured by a close that let you escape to on-chain in case the other side is being dishonest — but ofc this is only possible with low fees. As we already pointed out, global adoption will lead to really high fees and at that point LN becomes fully trust-based, fully custodial. So, saying that bitcoin has solved it is really a long shot. Sorry my friend but nothing is solved yet & it's going to be a very hard nut to crack.

“Global adoption will lead to really high fees” Once again, 'high fees' are relative, and you are measuring them through the broken lens of an inflationary fiat currency. In a real thermodynamic sense, base-layer fees are an open auction for block space on the most secure, un-forgeable data ledger on earth. When you pay a fee on Bitcoin's base layer, you aren't just paying to move tokens; you are buying a slice of absolute mathematical finality secured by an unassailable wall of physical energy. On-chain fees aren't a bug; they represent the true, undiscounted cost of security. For everyday transactions, users don't interact with the base layer directly: they use Layer 2 networks like Lightning, where transactions cost virtually zero because they don't require rewriting the entire global bedrock ledger for a cup of coffee. So yes, bitcoin solved this, not just with a fixed supply but a scalable layer 2. You can’t see this until you accept the fact that the market you live in is not free. Once you realize that, you decide to step out of it entirely. Until then you will keep clinging to the belief that inflation is inevitable, and move the goal posts further and further.
