Yeah when I was reading through the articles it didn't really show anything against xmr. Seemed more user error and in Japan they didn't address how so my guess is someone rolled on the others.

The video did nothing to detract from XMR at all and I thought that was kind and of funny.

I still see use cases for both and the privacy by default with XMR is nice. I can see a future where BTC becomes private by default. Not sure why the two realms, both champion liberty and self sovereignty don't work together instead of the steady pissing match
