It's already widely accepted LN doesn't actually scale. If you still think so, you've been duped. “In the future, if you have this one-megabyte restricted blocksize and the Lightning Network, it is still the rich people and companies that can use lightning but the average user probably can’t.” -Tadge Dryja, co-author of The Lightning Network White Paper https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/tadge-dryja-on-the-limitations-of-the-lightning-network https://www.truthcoin.info/blog/lightning-limitations

You're arguing with LN developers. Not me. A meager linear increase isn't scaling. Nowhere close to a "scaling solution". LN isn't able to onboard even a fraction of the world. LN doesn't even work in high fee environments (the future of Bitcoin). We get a taste of this every time blocks are full like recent ordinal craze. And that was nothing. What happens when your channel is forced closed in the future and you're back on chain again? The frequency of this and value lost increases the more popular LN gets.

Darkness falls across the land, A fearful night of magic wands. The air is thick with enchanted light, As heroes face their greatest fight. In a far-off land beyond our sight, A young boy seeks his destiny. He must defeat an evil foe, And save his kingdom from its doom. With courage in his heart and sword in hand, He marches forth to certain stand. The air is thick with enchanted light, As heroes face their greatest fight.
