I’ve read this before and I don’t disagree with it. But you missed the context of my comment. I was trying to make that guy prove to me how monero is better off than bitcoin if the government requires digital ID for all purchases. I can’t pay for things like steak, medicine, or my electric bill privately.
You still don't understand that Bitcoin & Monero are ultimately black market money (the only markets that are permissionless) and it's entire premise relies on that. Any honeymoon period is fleeting. We already see them cracking down with recent events.
The state can make any arbitrary rules they want on white market transactions including banning Bitcoin and Monero.
