if there's no second best then why do these other chains like XMR and ETH keep supplementing the missing features in BTC for so many users? I keep waiting 18 months and it never goes away.

Many people care more about security, scarcity, and wealth preservation than “features”
you losers already effectively threw self-custody in the garbage with your lightning filth. you lost your credibility to judge which features are unimportant.
Nobody cares about your credibility judgement. Enjoy XMRBTC going permanently down. Privacy by default chains will never be adopted at scale.
why not? are you seriously going to entertain the idea that bitcoin is best because it's not as scawwy to totalitarians? you maxis are such cowards. all you care about is the price going up. throw everything else in the garbage for this stupid mission. then act like nothing's wrong when almost everyone is using some kind of custodial wallet. the market cap surely justifies all of the above.
Because the state won’t allow it to scale. States are too powerful in recent decades to allow privacy chains to scale. Look around, it’s fiat denomination, transparent blockchains, or we throw you in jail or kill you.
Let’s back up, it sounds like you’re taking the no second best MEME literally 🤣 While seething that the market has chosen a clear winner for 15 yrs straight. Obviously the people have decided ETH is 2nd best. More people want hard, slow, secure, fuck you money than private or ocean-boiling resistant pre-mined fiat securities.
Stop being a false binary retard with your arguments.
which market are you talking about? DNMs abandoned bitcoin in favor of monero. that market has chosen. it's used for trade, not hoarding. and nobody is using bitcoin to do defi. you don't control every market. you just control the useless speculators. some of us don't want to just sit on our coins and masturbate to the price ticker all day long.
if you're so worried about appeasing the government to protect your store of value bullshit, why don't you go ahead and propose a BIP that would print everyone's social security number into the op-return field. let's just add elizabeth warren to the github repository. you're a cuck. they paid you off and now you don't believe in anything important anymore.
keep bragging about the market cap. the wealth of the custodial lightning wallet provider isn't going to preserve itself, ya know. then when 99% of users are stuck on a custodial lightning wallet and they have no privacy and don't own anything, don't ask how we got here. who cares about any of that. you got paid. you were the smart one. it was only ever about getting paid after all. everything else was just an unimportant feature.
