There is no second best with money. There is best, and there is ineffective and worse. That most people in Monero own both only further reinforces it's failure.

Monero enthusiasts don't understand that money is winner takes all, or they see both as investment vehicles for acquiring more fiat, or they aren't willing to commit to Monero out of fear that it's not the ultimate winner, or they're hoping they can successfully pump and dump. If they were actually clear on how money works, and really believed in Monero, they would use Bitcoin only as much as I use Monero: only when there's no other choice. Anyone like that I can respect, not fence sitters.
