You missed the point entirely, and turned this into a btc vs Monero debate. Let me frame it for you this way, particularly what I meant when I said #btc was the beginning: had btc not existed, it’s highly likely that Monero wouldn’t either.
Discussion
Monero would have always existed because it is the very definition of what a cryptocurrency is all about, what arguably shouldn't be a thing in 2025 is that fedcoin.
When that kind of outdated thing becomes a state-sponsored cult, even the more reasons for anyone smart to avoid it completely.
