It is the actual literal fulfillment of Satoshi’s vision and desires for a currency free of state manipulation. Satoshi literally said of ledger privacy, exact quote, “If a solution was found, a much better, easier, more convenient implementation of Bitcoin would be possible.”&#xA;&#xA;https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=770.msg8637#msg8637&#xA;&#xA;In the same thread he describes a ring signature scheme! He wasn’t talking about L2 of any sort. Not a sidechain. Not merge mining. Satoshi thought that privacy should be on the base layer. But Core is captured by a multitude of people who want ledger transparency, Saylor and Blackrock, who say that it would be bad for institutional centralization for Bitcoin to adopt ledger privacy.&#xA;&#xA;Monero means money. Until Core’s current subversives are fired and prioritizing implementing privacy by default, Monero is the real Bitcoin. Most everything else is financial spyware, and a shitcoin. </html></oembed>
