I then wonder why you are not openly supporting Monero, which is attacked from all sides, while BTC gets its bags pumped by Saylor and BlackRock.

I know plenty of people that live on Monero, while most Bitcoiners if they at all pay with their coins use connected credit cards to their custodians.

And who is even running nodes these days? Monero with its price being 1:500 of BTC sees more active nodes than BTC.

Monero got delisted from all major exchanges being forced to bring decentralised exchanges and the circular economy to life.

Talking about choosing the hard way, is talking about Monero.
