the future of digital cash that i was using in 2013. right. got it.
i am literally running my own LN node with three channels. just because not everyone is going to do it means nothing for your argument
neither does "but everyone will use custodial" - and doesn't everyone already custody a lot of money with banks right now? do i need a license and bazillions of dollars and a brown nose from slurping up the arse of bureaucrats to do that? nope. no permission required and nobody can stop me and nobody could stop me.
blockchains were already old hat 10 years ago, and bitcoin is going to have full CTs soon anyway, most likely before 4 years, and then you have private payments via LN, or through trusted third parties who can literally be anyone with a thousand bucks worth of sats or so, currently, you can have ecash mints which are also similar in that it's between you and the mint (but unlike lightning you must use tor to hide your transaction timing, just as you do with monaro), and then you can do big stuff on chain over tor and good luck tracing those
you are flogging a dead horse that has become a skeleton a long time ago if you think that a chain with transactions is better than all the options you have with bitcoin now
