XMR is not easier. My pi4 could not run monerod, not enough compute. But it can run bitcoind, lnd and tor all together easily. Trusting others to run a node for you is not sovereignty.

where talking about normie average joe construction worker here and your bring up the capabilities of a pi4? not relevant. relying on a node is far more sovereign than relying on a custodian
We were talking about merchant acceptance with sovereignty. Average construction worker is paid clean salary and can use Strike.
are they? why are all the immigrants sending cash to Mexico at the Mexican market in the USA?
Those should probably send USDT from Trust wallet, bought for cash p2p face to face. At least this if what I see immigrants doing in Europe via Telegram channels.
