Not even close. Lightning alone processes over $1B per month in transactions, compared to Monero’s 600K.

If it cannot create a sufficient circular economy, its future prospects are extremely limited. And for those use cases where privacy is direly needed, there are already a number of ways you can achieve that with Bitcoin. npub1r0fj5wr200n0dz9nm37ysrhuy8xeg66ratq5hf960q62caaz8e5sqpuzz3 alanbwt Monero bros are, broadly speaking, well-intentioned.
