Yeah but anything that can be done with Monero can also be done with bitcoin.
The only advantage of Monero is that stolen coins cannot be blacklisted. This is only good for thieves.

imagine trying to sell yourself as an ancap and endorsing blacklists 🤡
It's called property rights. If you mine a block you can write what transactions you want.
Property rights rely on institutions and laws, while Bitcoin’s consensus rules use cryptography and decentralization to secure ownership.
Just not true. Rights are just ideals based on physical reality. They have nothing to do with laws or institutions. Read about natural rights. The very fact you impose your right to write a block is a property right.
The argument that rights are solely based on physical reality falls short. Rights, whether “natural” or technical, require normative foundations and social acceptance to be effective. Bitcoin is not an example of natural rights but rather of a rule-based, artificial system that organizes ownership through consensus and technology.
This is a correct opinion.
"Rights" are standardized social norms. Not naturally occuring phenomena.
If you don't exercise them, how can they be said to exist at all?
a "blacklist" refers to a list of utxos that The State has forbidden interacting with.
not mining a block with those in it
or an CEX stealing them if they're sent to there
isn't "property rights."
its lack of censorship resistance and being a cuck for the government.
and since Bitcoin is nonfungible, this kind of censorship already occurs.
accepting blacklists is submissive and typical of ancaps
myself and many of my friends work 16 hour days to build cultures and economies outside the mainstream.
there's nothing submissive about that. it is *extremely* proactive.
although we dont call ourselves "ancap" we certainly fit the description.
Bitcoin loses its essence when blacklists are accepted.
Ancap is another form of collectivist ideology that rejects the state but creates constraints. Anyone who submits to these constraints is submissive.
It has nothing to do with you.
I use myself as an example because I probably fit the definition.
And all definitions create constraints and are limiting. Thats why I dont refer to myself in that way.
But we still need to talk to each other.
as a sovereign individual, monero is perfect for anonymizing bitcoin.
