My skepticism boils down to “i would rather use monero in every situation i can think of”

I can’t think of a use case where Bitcoin performs better than Monero except perhaps as a speculative asset. But I don’t really need a speculative asset, I just want to transact.

This is actually a really good point. Besides network effect/liquidity, why use bitcoin ?

Maxi's would claim a fee reasons i think :

1. anything monero does, bitcoin can do eventually on L2's.

2. Larger deniability set when those equivalent measures are implemented.

3. Coinjoins are equivalent to rings sigs.

Good points. But then it becomes an ease of use question, right?

Which is more difficult:

1. Buying/selling monero

2. Figuring out how to use equivalent privacy tools on bitcoin

Monero is rediculously easy to be private using. Easy to mine/node too. Meanwhile lightning is a confusing mess. ( ooh to be private i JUST have to run another node along with my bitcoin node and ONLY maintain both going forward all the time. ) UX wise Monero is evidence that L1 ease of use is huge.
