I'm sorry, which coin is being sanctioned and delisted everywhere? Monero had 11 years to prove its game theory, but failed. Bitcoin had only a few years after its launch to prove the trial by fire, and passed again and again.

And yes, a fair comparison on storage: $300 for 20TB today vs less than $50 for 2TB. Also I'm pretty sure smaller blocks will lead to less network bandwith; and mining power is a nonfactor for "centralization", since the nodes are what set the rules. Mining power only ensures it is more difficult to mine fraudulent blocks.

Monero bros' fundamental cope on Bitcoin's privacy for adoption (assuming Bitcoin is somehow not private, which I doubt due to its pseudonymous system) is laughable when you consider that the current fiat system, having NO privacy, doesn't stop us from being able to buy most things in the economy today.

What IS stagnating the economy is monetary inflation, NOT "lack of privacy". Even if Monero's dishonest assumptions about Bitcoin were true, this is the problem Monero fails to solve. Money should be HARD first. Even under Gold and Silver the merchant saw your face when transacting with you.
