If BTC is perfect then why do mixers and privacy tools exist? Why does Bitcoin need an external tool in order to be scalable? If Bitcoin has proven itself against government overreach then how come nobody the government reaches out against uses Bitcoin? If your goal is solely freedom and sound money then why you obsess about its price? Why do you argue about inflation, scarcity, and adoption?

How many people do you think would still use Bitcoin if they knew for a fact that the value would stay the same or even decrease? Compare that with the US dollar. Compare that with people who use the "untraceable spy coins" you dismiss so easily.

I'm shilling personal responsibility and using tools the way they were meant to be used. My only allegence is to these ideals. I don't need any proof to know that the only people with the right to know the details of a transaction are the parties participating in the transaction. If you have any principles at all, then why do you care about specific problems with specific cryptocurrencies? Do you genuinely expect me to believe that you would accept another currency if it met all of the standards you keep claiming to have? Would you ever replace Bitcoin even if the alternative wasn't a scam or centralized garbage?

Mixers and privacy tools exist because Bitcoin is pseudonymous, not anonymous. Users choose their level of privacy. Scaling via Lightning is just smart engineering, not a flaw. Government overreach? Bitcoin’s been used by dissidents worldwide; they just don’t advertise it.

Price obsession? It reflects adoption and trust in sound money. Inflation, scarcity, adoption—these prove Bitcoin’s value as freedom tech. If value tanked, true believers would still use it for censorship resistance. USD? It’s forced on people. Spy coins? Most are gimmicks with no real network security.

Personal responsibility? Fine, but shilling vague ideals over Bitcoin’s proven track record is weak. I’d consider another coin if it matched Bitcoin’s decentralization and security—none do. Name one that isn’t a scam or centralized mess. I’m waiting. Principles matter, but Bitcoin delivers.

I don't believe you. Why would you ever consider another coin?
