Support the whole Bitcoin network decentralization by running a Bitcoin node and Lightning node. Open channels and support sending Bitcoin so that others can have the benefits of it.
Creating friction between Monero and Bitcoin is just a fee grift.
Discussion
I don't need to create friction. It already exists. I already run a node and working on my own LN node. It still doesn't detract from the benefits of Monero privacy by default and ease of achievement.
The use cases for both are pretty solid. One is an immutable ledger that is transparent by default. The obfuscates by default without needing to jump through the hoops that BTC does. However, I do think that one day BTC will absorb Monero privacy into it. It's not right now and it's lagging behind compared to it
By you paying someone in Monero and them then needing to convert Monero to Bitcoin (to retain the wealth) creates more friction than would otherwise be desired if the payment were just in Bitcoin to begin with
Some people only want to be paid in it and convert because of the obfuscation of it. Some people only want Monero too. I'm okay of someone wants to pay me in Monero or zap me money I'm not going to turn it down. I'm also not going to convert it. It may bite me in the rear one day and that's okay
To each their own
this is a reasonable perspective

(really doubt we're going to see any mainchain improvements ever again tho)
"fee grift"
who's grifting?
is it "grifting" when someone holding monero buys Bitcoin with it?
Hi again Kansan,
It’s unneeded friction when Bitcoin already solved money and instant transactions. Therefore promoting it just takes away focus from the superior form of savings and creates fees for no reason
well its not fungibile, generally considered one of the properties of money.
so how can it be money?
its privacy problems largely come back to that.
and frankly no serious person looks at a 15 year history,
particularly of a brand new asset class,
and calls something a definitive SoV.
certainly not "the world's definive" SoV.
at the moment,
its a well performing speculative investment.
you and I believe its an SoV
and believe it could be money, because we believe in the fundamentals.
but thats different than a established SoV.
so
I'd say no.
saying it "solved money" is a statement of faith and not established fact.
likewise with "superior form of saving"
Sell your bitcoin, be my guest, I’ll buy it every single time and zap it to my friends, family, and church for free so they can enjoy the benefits of the only verifiably scarce asset backed by Proof of Work.
May the best SoV win.
yeah.
thats not a response to the points i made.
🙏
Guess I’ll go eat my 2017 dogma sandwich. 🥪
May the best money win.
Achieving proper privacy on Lightning has much more friction than Monero
