The fact that you're asking the wrong question is in itself telling. My curtness is in response to your use of "HFSP". A cheap quip that is indicative of maxis that are here for the fiat gains and not for the freedom tech.

Do you own a crystal ball? No, then why make the prediction that the one horse you are backing can never be captured in the future? That's the weakness of the bitcoin dream and one that I used to prescribe to for years until I considered other alternatives endings to this potentially world changing technology.

If you game it out, being able to adapt to potential regulatory capture of the bitcoin network is paramount in a fast changing world. Only focusing on "Monero has lost value on bitcoin, therefore the future is written" is infantile at best.

I will end up selling a portion of my bitcoin stack when they are shouting "we're going to $1M bro!!". I will be buying back lower as I did the last two cycles. Not perfect timing by a long shot but not blindly holding, doubling down, DCA crap believing #bitcoin is going to replace the dollar. The probability of that low unless you listen to too many bitcoin podcasts.

And if the network does get captured, specifically at the mining level (51% already KYC captured across just 2 PubCo's) then I've already cold stacked #monero at insanely cheap prices the last few years. I see that as the only viable alternative at present but remain adaptable to change.

My point is if you don't have any other viable alternatives to bitcoin then you'll find yourself the one staying poor should the bitcoin maxi dream fade away.
