I don't have strong feelings about monero but I think some bitcoiners are just worried something else will take it over if they don't try to will it in a different direction. For me, if something better comes a long that is demonstrably winning I'll simply put my purchasing power there, why wouldn't any reasoning bitcoiner do the same? We just want good money. Anyone who cites Thiers' law in support of bitcoin but would refuse to adopt a hypothetical better money needs to check and adjust their priors.

you are a reasonable person John ❤️

but most of these maxis

particularly the ones who had to deal will 2017 ICO shitcoin boom,

have taken refuge in prejudice and dogma.

i think it comes back to

what is "winning"? and how does it look?

i contest the general narrative USD denominated price appreciation alone is "winning"

but that metric is convenient for those who aren't interested in the complexities

and just want to shitpost and circle jerk.

Im convinced that winning means more time with my son and wife and a world where he can thrive and repeat. Whatever gets me there is what I'm for. Anything short of that is failure.

that seems like a good metric to me.

i tends towards idealism so

in addition to an increase in personal purchasing power

I want to see bankers lose their influence.

i have difficulty seeing how that happens on a transparent ledger.
