Idk if confirmation is not important why confirm transactions at all, it doesn’t make sense whether RBF or not. Not confirmed transaction is not valid in view of blockchain.

I like the argument of asking not to distinguish coins but I don’t ask others to do anything, I let them do whatever they want, if for whatever reason they are against my interests I turn to other who isn’t. I haven’t used cash for a long time, all my transactions can be seen by my bank anyway, if they laughed at my purchases what else can I do?

I often see argument from XMR community saying XMR is fungible like cash. I agree XMR may be fungible but cash certainly isn’t. Every single bill has a unique ID number, no one cares or records it so it acts “like” fungible, but if (a big if) government requests all merchants to record all cash transactions in ID then it is suddenly not that private anymore. The fact that it can be done but not done due to difficulty or lack of necessity is what holding the fort. While an open ledger like bitcoin, on the other hand, is very easy to track by anyone. The fact that if you care you have choices to break the track but if you don’t care you are good to go is what I think the opposite of what private cash currently is.

I see transparent ledger as a double-edged sword, it may be bad for individuals but certainly good for public fund users. If public ledger is the answer to less corrupted government then I am all in!
