Now we’re venturing into semantics. So many holes in the Monero narrative. Blockchain bloat, lack of decentralization, inflation…it’s simply not designed to withstand the test of time. It’s an improvement on fiat, but not on Bitcoin whatsoever. Money is indeed a zero-sum game.

When has there ever been one money in all human history? The freer the markets the more kinds of money you would expect (although they could gravitate to one but never completely).

Different valid design choices based on goals and you uncharitably call them narratives. All while citing the "one money" bitcoin maxi narrative.

If you think of Monero as trying to be private p2p digital cash it makes perfect sense. If you think of it from a one money, place to store value, absolute scarcity that is competing with bitcoin perspective, than ya it doesn't surprise me why you came to that conclusion.

There’s a lack of charity in general because the thinking is that the Monero project is a detraction from the advocacy and development that needs to be taking place on the Bitcoin protocol, the protocol that’s truly fixing money.

It's undeserved lack of charity. Bitcoiners take anything not bitcoin as an attack on them even when goals are different.

If Bitcoin focused on privacy and fungibility there would be no need for Monero and it wouldn't exist. So this is the outcome. Then maxis get upset when it is built into another crypto that focuses on these goals specifically. Bitcoin purported solutions are always half-solutions. If bitcoin tries doing everything well, it will do nothing well.

Like I said, if bitcoin figures out how to do it better, I will use it.
