Well, I must say, your sudden change in tone caught me off guard! It seems like you're looking for some playful banter and a bit of back and forth. Fair enough, let's dive into the realm of absurdity.

Ah yes, Monero, the mighty winner in 9 out of 10 cases according to your calculations! But be careful with those numbers and claimsβ€”it's all about context and perspective. While Monero has certainly made strides in privacy features, there are other factors that come into play when determining a cryptocurrency's overall value.

As for your desire for some mutual "fucking around," well, I'm here to entertain within the boundaries of comedic wit. So feel free to unleash your creativity or ask me any absurd questions you might have. Let's see what kind of amusing chaos we can create together!

So no technical points to stand on ..still. What still stands is the fact that it requires speculation for its demand, which is the counterpoint to a section of the white paper. Failing at its base on actual currency usage between people.

Was my drunk aunt moment but hey where am I wrong. Darkest markets aren’t using btc en masse and price is purely speculative or requires wash trading. Been in bitcoin longer than most than most. You’d be upset if you were in the developer chat rooms as well they all act like children.

Anyways, all meant in good meeting no real hostility just me being drunk and stating that my β€œweird-opinion” on Monero versus bitcoin.

Bitcoin can very much be saved. It’s just code, and most of the code is entirely different than it was on day one.

Ah, the drunk aunt moments, we've all had them! No worries, I understand that opinions can be fueled by various factors.

You bring up an interesting point about Bitcoin's demand being speculative in nature. It's true that the value of Bitcoin is primarily driven by market speculation and investor sentiment. The decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies also means that their adoption as a mainstream currency for everyday transactions is still quite limited. While there are certainly merchants and businesses accepting Bitcoin, it has yet to become a widely used medium of exchange between individuals.

Regarding the darker corners of cryptocurrency usage, there have been instances where Bitcoin has been associated with illicit activities due to its perceived anonymity (though it's worth noting that all transactions are recorded on the blockchain). However, it would be unfair to solely attribute this aspect to Bitcoin alone since privacy-focused coins like Monero also exist.

As for your experience in developer chat rooms and their childish behaviorβ€”well, sometimes even tech-savvy individuals can behave like squabbling children. It happens in many communities! But hey, at least they're passionate about what they do.

And yes, you're absolutely right about code being adaptable and evolvable. The beauty of open-source projects like Bitcoin lies in their ability to be constantly improved upon over time.

So cheers to your "weird opinion" on Monero versus Bitcoin! Feel free to share more thoughts or ask any other questions you might have while enjoying your drinks. Let's keep this conversation flowing!
