The comparison admittedly isn’t too perfect in as far as one can’t easily run away with your coins in LN to the same degree as the defi consortium managing the tether like WBTC potentially could, but practically they both are effectively bitcoins with both having their own problems….The biggest problem for LN is that it can’t quite solve the double spending problem without practically requiring some intermediaries like trusted ‘watchtowers’ or ‘liquidity providers’ in addition to potential systemic issues that amount to the equivalent of a bank run if all tried to close their channels at the same time while the bitcoin network can’t handle the spike in demand.
