But of course, if we make Bitcoin private we’ll anger the masters of the exchanges, the Fed, the CIA, the politicians, and all those people who live off our money, and since 99.99% of people are in Bitcoin to get rich and not for freedom, then we’ll never do that because we don’t want the price to fall.

This is the most likely scenario and that’s why Monero is not a shitcoin no matter how much you throw childish maximalist tantrums, because Monero is useful, it offers something that Bitcoin does not offer.

When internet dark markets use Lightning, and when Lightning surpasses Monero in these markets, then I’ll reconsider, because as I say, it’s wise to correct oneself; you shouldn’t cling to an idea simply out of stubbornness even when reality proves you wrong—this is quite stupid.

Have a good day.

Reality is stubborn, and this discredits most of the opinions expressed here, including the opinions I have held for years, but as they say, it is wise to correct oneself.

Monero’s privacy is a real market demand; if you feel more confident ignoring this reality and thinking that Bitcoin is private, well, there are also people who think the Earth is flat.

My position is not, guys stop using Bitcoin and use Monero; my position is, guys, Bitcoin is not private, let’s do something to make it private.
