But I'm not saving in Monero. So I'm not sacrificing my savings or my future purchase power.

And my argument is not convenience, it's self-custody. If I wanted convenience I would spend the BTC I already have, without need to exchange them for Monero or whatever, incurring fees and time costs in the process.

And I'm not promoting Monero, by the way. As much as I am a BTC maxi as far as Store of Value is concerned, I am totally agnostic as far as private currency goes. I think it's an easier problem to solve than SoV, so there are and will be lot of options to pick from.

It's just that Monero is the project that seems to have the best arguments as a private currency. A replacement for fiat cash when it ceases to exist.

I'm more in the Highlander there can only be one camp, given the network effect of currencies. There is logic to your argument, but anyone who copies you without understanding the caveats is liable to get wrecked. That's dangerous IMO. I'd rather promote private use of lightning and avoid the pitfalls.

I see where you're coming from, it's a fair take. And being currency-agnostic, I'm totally open to be convinced about this.

There's time to develop more solutions too. I don't think the shit is hitting the fan just yet. We'll see it happen, just not yet.
