 Your message got me thinking, my intention was not to hurt anyone else, excuse me if I was aggressive, we should build together instead of shooting at each other. So let's get to a serious topic, why do you think Bitcoin is better than Monero ? Please not about price or store of value, moon boys get out please, I was thinking about Lightning Network especially, is it better than Monero privacy ? Is a L2 on Monero is (will be) possible ? Is it a good idea ? Let's go bro

 it is just code, i don't care about money. It fixes nothing 
 it fixes nothing ? 
 Not my problems. Maybe yours.  
 Bitcoin is better than Monero because there is a HUGE amount of energy invested in protecting the network and ensuring that blocks are produced according to the consensus rules.

The amount of energy invested in Monero is a drop in the bucket in comparison. Not to mention the ready availability of mining hardware.

Playing devils advocate here
but there are *always* tradeoffs. 
 Well, this huge amount of energy is centralized isn't ? Can average people have significant impact on the network security or it's only big farms ? 
 like I said
tradeoffs

You can have an immutable chain that's virtually unfuckwithable,
if the energy is somewhat centralized.
