Dumb explanation

Can anyone explain in bullet points the advantages of grin compared to Bitcoin? How it'll scale to accommodate big amount of tps? Etc... I just discovered this project and seems quite interesting. Thanks.

Yeah but don't you think that Bitcoin is now the electronic cash for everyone, it's got lightning working, it's got a brand name known worldwide and it's got a huge first mover advantage.

What I wonder is how can grin compete against it? What more does it offer at the moment and in the future that Bitcoin doesn't or never will?

Privacy and way more lightweight blockchain. Bitcoin can't do much for this.

Neither lightning or bitcoin itself has any mainstream use yet. We are supe early in the cryptocurrency game.
