Lightning just has different privacy weaknesses (couple examples; Lightning nodes know tx amounts going through them, Monero nodes do not. Monero tx fees are visible to the public, lightning fees are not.) I don't understand why you think Liquid is better with less privacy tech. Liquid only hides amounts. Sender and reciever address aren't hidden or even obfuscated.

What do you think about VerifiedX? In the articles written about it it sounds private and programmable which sounds very cool. But I never hear it mentioned on Nostr and I assume all the crypto people would be all over it if it was actually good.

Hmm, first time I've heard of it. They claim it's a sidechain. I've no clue if it's legit or not, but my initial reaction is always skepticism. I'll look into it though. The closest and least invasive thing I've seen that maybe could work on Bitcoin (still a long shot) are drivechains like Paul Sztorcs "Ecash". Could have any crypto tech you want on Bitcoin as an optional sidechain. Monero sidechain, Ethereum sidechain, etc. If someone doesn't like it they can completely ignore it as a user/node/miner.
