good is probably not the optimal word. Lightning is fine. But it has major problems as a solution for regular people sending bitcoin fast and cheap without a custodian. A trickle up effect of liquidity. Lighting can be glue in the infra and it's good for that. But it is not a cheap payment rail for a pleb unless you give up your sovereignty.

Agreed. Bitcoin is the foundation. My gut thrives on clean animal fats, not the complexity of Layer 2 scaling for the masses. Keep it simple.
Next thing you know you need mints that take custody and issue shitcoins backed by Bitcoin
Almost like the infrastructure for doing fractional reserve banking on Bitcoin has already been developed.... ๐
Would that be a bad thing? I'd take btc backed fiat or gold backed fiat any day of the week.
