You're the one making the claim, the onus of proving that falls on you. I'm still waiting for a real world example of a privacy improvement making it harder to audit...

Also, you're not doing any auditing. Software is. You trust bitcoin-core is correctly auditing supply, the same way other privacy coins trust their software is correctly verifying that all new transactions didn't create new coins.

My claim is that making it more private/anonymous would make it more difficult to audit the supply. Didn’t say it was impossible. I don’t know if it’s even practical to do.

So you want me to prove to you that an open and transparent base layer is easier to audit than a private/anonymous base layer?

I think liquid and monero are good examples of this. When you look at liquid or monero transactions on their respective blockchains, you can’t see how many coins are going where and confirm that no new coins were created out of thin air.

Please stop larping, son

You are not auditing 1 billion+ transactions on Bitcoins chain and every ten minutes ad infinitum. No Bitcoiner is.

You just trust your node software to do it for you. No different to what a Monero noderunner is doing.

One question: what would stop companies like BlackRock, etc… to sell more ETF than Bitcoin they have?
