it is. i trust myself to use btc privately but it's not easy, everything must be done just right. most people buy kyc coin fromexchanges, use it on-chain in a non-private way and shoot themselves in the foot, exposing themselves on a permanent record (the blockchain). fiat would be more private. bitcoin is an awesome store of value, but the way most people use it is not "freedom money" or "private".
it's disturbing how many people hear these buzzwords and get into bitcoin in a non-privacy preserving way.
i love bitcoin, and i encourage people to learn how to use it in a private way, but it's a privacy nightmare by default.
monero on the other hand is privacy at a protocol level. you get the same privacy guarantees no matter which wallet you use.
Well said on monero ive been observing monery and the community for a bit, but really started taking it seriously when I heard the size of coinjoin fees. Then your posts lately have encouraged me to explore my own thoughts on it. Also its the most liquid pair on Bisq which is encouraging.
On bitcoin privacy ive been sitting with utxos not doing a damn thing for six months. Im sure there are plebs who could breeze through this stuff faster but its taking me to the studs in understanding what goes into trust but verify and privacy. Its no joke.
Usage wise, Wasabi is pretty easy.
Understanding why it protects you against numerous threat vectors is more difficult.
Checkout docs.wasabiwallet.io and coinjoins.org for more info.
But that's only one client, right? Nothing against CoinJoins.

Its been a frustrating morning. Ive been trying to connect sparrow wallet to my electrum server over tor so i can do my first coinjoin.
Well damn it finally successfully connected, blockchain loaded, then the connection failed and im back to SOCKS server general failures. Maddening.
