Extremely rapid initial distribution favours founders, just like a shit coin. Tail emissions forever dilutes store of value. Good to swap Bitcoin into and out of for privacy. Shit store of value. Once Bitcoin gets decent privacy it is dead.

Once.....

> initial distribution favours founders

> infinite supply = bad store of value

pick one, how can founders benefit from early rewards if the number doesn't go up?

I see btc as a store of value and monero for everyday buying and selling

It pumps and dumps initially but stagnates long term.

Stagnates against gold, but it has to complete with Bitcoin

that seems like a pretty good stability even in the face of regulatory uncertainty, CEX delistings, it already competes with Bitcoin in usage but not for the investment case, but every cycle will continue to get harder to ignore it as the chart shows it doesn't stagnate lower than it used to

Yeah, Bitcoin needs better privacy. Just ask Roger Ver. If Bitcoin gets mimblewimble it will be hard to justify monero

It'd be better to advocate for a z-side (zcash sidechain/drivechain) than for MWEB as mweb has worse privacy and is harder to get into the consensus, but at any rate Liquid already has confidential txs but has 0 txs per block, (1 being the mandatory coinbase tx https://liquid.network), so in a privacy sidechain/L2 world, split coins create small anon sets which is a world where XMR is still undefeated

Yea mweb and zside are best for btc

like how its been impossible to store value in gold for the last 2000 years because of supply inflation?

Bitcoin will never get decent privacy. The core devs have and will continue to work hard to prevent that ever happening. Bitcoin is a state backed currency that requires you to use business owned custodial off chain wallets to give you the feeling of privacy that still does not yet exist.

Yeah, kill it so it hardens.

Bitcoin won't harden. Monero is the only viable solution for crypto privacy,
