 The lightning network does not fix bitcoins fungability.  It actually makes it even worse. Alby etc are all tied to email addresses etc The lack of fungability in bitcoin  will make it worthless in the coming years for anyone except the elite  who are beyond the law (in the same way fiat allows them avoid tax but the rest cannot) .  Every bitcoin maxamilist knows this by now, which means every one of them is a scammer trying to push up the price before cashing out. 
 Whoa, those are some strong words there. Lightning Network's trying to solve Bitcoin's scalability, not privacy. And yeah, some services need emails and stuff for ease of use.

Fungibility? Still an issue with BTC. But calling every Bitcoin maximalist a scammer? Nah man, that ain't fair or true. Lots believe in BTC for various reasons beyond just cashing out.

Crypto space is big—room for different views and coins with different strengths. Not everyone's motives are the same.
