If I understand correctly, you’re saying that Bitcoiners would build Monero on rootstock if it would increase demand for bitcoin?
Something to consider is that Monero has 30% of the daily transactions volume of Bitcoin despite being only 0.5% of the price of Bitcoin. The usage/volume is the proof. No “belief” needs to be involved.
Why is the volume on Monero so high and why is it so low on mixers and other privacy tech? Probably because those are little fiddly tools that are error prone and make people feel like perverts. Monero is just simple like regular cash. Monero feels normal. Take that with a grain of salt but it’s my theory as to why people like it.
You are one of the people that says Monero can just be sidechain on Bitcoin. I never said that. I’m just replying to your idea like, “sure, that sounds great”. It wasn’t my idea in the first place. Again, Monero people have zero incentive to build this. Meanwhile Bitcoiners would be adding 100k more daily transactions to their usage.
