Okay well, I’ve never had a problem spending or receiving Monero or a stack of benjamins. I’ve had a host of problems spending and receiving Bitcoin. That’s been my experience.
I want Bitcoin to also have the same thing that makes Monero great! I want Bitcoin to have on-chain fungibility! Right now you only get that off chain via BOLT12, and ain’t nobody supporting that. I am using another currency only because Bitcoin Core has failed to make Bitcoin useful money for me. I’d *rather use Bitcoin*. I want Bitcoin to be useful money! But they are intent on making it a “store of value” and something to enable more NFTs and memecoins. That ship has already sailed to Solana probably irrevocably. Tether started on Bitcoin but SOL and TRX became the largest beneficiaries of it. One after another, every real world use of blockchains has gone to things that are not Bitcoin. I would like Bitcoin to at least be useful money, but they are intent on doing some weird lending scheme shit and “management token” with Citrea instead.
People want to use cryptocurrency! But they don’t want to use Bitcoin anymore. I have come to the conclusion that this is because Core is institutionally captured, and institutional authorities do not want competition to the monetary system.
