And honestly, that's fine. I'd like a secure store of value for moving funds from "savings" (e.g. BTC) to "checking" (e.g. Monero). BTC is easier to exchange w/ fiat, Monero is privacy-focused and I only want to use it for purchases anyway.
So honestly, them supporting lightning isn't particularly interesting to me. It seems Lightning has been cracked by the FBI, whereas Monero is likely still safe. If the FBI can do it, surely an interested third party can as well, and that's not great.
