Well I guess bitcoin remains the most established. I guess they could switch to ether at some point if it goes well, but I remember something about ether not being fully decentralized? I'm not even a crypto nut but these are pretty interesting developments

Monero is far superior with regards to anonimity, if that’s what you’re looking for.

*anonymity

Bitcoin's Lightning Network is private enough, thank you very much.

It's great if it's private enough for you, but not everyone is satisfied with LN's level of privacy. Your original question was why anyone would use a different cryptocurrency.

Thank you for correcting me, but since you yourself wrote a comment saying "Why would anyone look beyond Bitcoin defeats me", I’m wondering if you really corrected me because you believe spelling and grammar are important.

Are you personally not satisfied with LN's level of privacy? If you're not, mind explaining why?
