Comment on Panama unveils bill to make Bitcoin legal tenderparent

Bitcoin is perfectly fungible, if you know what you're doing. Even beyond this, there are no "accounts" or "addresses" on the Lightning Network - its privacy is superb.

I haven’t looked at lightning since it was vaporware so I’ll have to check that out… I don’t know much about channels, is there really no public ledger in that case?

Same thing, tried dipping my toes a couple of years ago, payments would often fail, gui inexistent, etc. But we've come a long way since then.

For starters, download bluewallet and get some free sats to play around with:

Quite a rabbit hole you're falling into. And no, there's no public ledger.
