The market has made its decision, just check the XMR/BTC graph. Every year that passes, #monero loses, not only to #bitcoin but to other shitcoins aswell.&#xA;&#xA;Not hating on you, in fact, what hurts me the most is that the Monero community, unlike other shitcoiners, comprises of smart individuals who value #privacy and #freedom. Unfortunately, many become blinded and turn into maxis, constantly hating on #btc and refusing to acknowledge that #xmr is merely a privacy tool, a pseudo-L2 for Bitcoin and nothing else. It&#39;s a hot potato, where users constantly atomic swap to and from Bitcoin. No one wants to hold it medium-term, let alone long-term. And no one accepts it as a currency besides few privacy services. It has failed both as a store-of-value and as a currency.&#xA;&#xA;It&#39;s actually easy to catch Monero maxis here on #nostr, they don&#39;t even bother setting up a Lightning address to receive zaps. They also think Monero will catch up to Bitcoin in the future, it won&#39;t. There is no second best. You can Bitcoin, or you can lose (with Monero), but at least you lose privately.&#xA;&#xA;On-chain mixing, #lightning, #liquid, and eCash offer enough privacy for the majority of people. Unless you are into shady darknet markets, there&#39;s no need for Monero.&#xA;&#xA;This is probably my last time answering about Monero-related topics. Bees don&#39;t waste their time explaining to flies that honey is better than shit. Best of luck to all Monero holders, I hope they can weather the storm ahead and jump ship before it&#39;s too late.</html></oembed>
