I don't see Monero fanboys having bad time today at all. Because they know what goes down, also goes up and so on. What I see, is a lot of Bitcoin Maximalists full of ignorance who've never learnt critical thinking skills and have fantasies of the world they live in.

I see monero fanboys as not understanding the order of operation. You build the top brand. You build the top network. You get 90% adoption then you spring the privacy stuff. The Trojan horse has to be seen as a gift not a threat. Also you don’t have unlimited supply.
Except it's not. You could have arguments against limited supply, but at the end of the day, it does not matter.
What Bitcoin fanbois don't understand is it won't be anymore private at $10 than it is at $100,000. Also, it's transaction fees grow in proportion to it's adoption. Regulatory capture - you're the one being Trojan horsed.
'Regulatory capture - you're the one being Trojan horsed.'
This. Bitcoin helps govnts regulate and spy on transactions in a way that fiat cash cannot. Either CBDCs or Bitcoin are going to replace fiat cash soon. Those who oppose CBDCs foolishy believe Bitcoin is the counter alternative. Its like Rep v Dems - both are Trojan horses that serve the same ends - to give power and control to the most powerful people on earth.
