The video addresses none of that. Its literally jush a couple stoned-sounding tech-bros sniggering/gloating "how right we were" for two minutes, without elaboration...
... all that, and as I've said before, I'm no stranger to any of this. It's weird how OP and yourself both misspell Lightning the same way though, and call it a "project" when its more commonly refered to by its Network; Its been so for at least six years.
Oh ok fair enough
Let me spell it out for you. The people in the video are useful idiots who were duped into believing that Bitcoin does not need to scale on chain and some 2nd layer network will take care of it.
This idea was an obvious fraud from day one but it took them 10 years to realize it, meanwhile they destroyed the adoption momentum and utility of Bitcoin.
At the time of this conflict there were intelligent people known as "big blockers" who forked away and started Bitcoin Cash which is the real Bitcoin. Now Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is set to dominate the whole crypto space.
