Coinjoins are outdated privacy solutions in the age of sophisticated chain analysis and ZK tech.
Even Moneros ring signatures for sender privacy isn't cutting it anymore for edge cases (despite hiding amounts and receivers completely) which is why it is upgrading to full chain membership proofs.
It's funny you bring up market cap and liquidity when Lightning is a fraction the size of Monero. And ecash is a fraction of that fraction.
If your privacy model depends on a hard fork every year, thats not resilience, thats fragility. Bitcoins privacy evolves without risking chain splits every time it upgrades. Its a serious security risk and increases the attack surface.
Comparing monero base layer to Bitcoin layer 2s tools is disingenuous. Bitcoin builds on bedrock and monero is built on sand that needs constant patching
"Bitcoins privacy" has hardly evolved. The base layer is as transparent as it was the day it was created.
And comparing Bitcoins base layer security and attack surface to L2s is disingenuous. Especially with completely custodial systems like ecash.
hard forks arent "patches," they are network upgrades. software has to upgrade as the environment it operates in changes. monero updates in a clear direction and in an organized way, with community support.
also, bitcoins privacy hasn't upgraded at all. you're pretending there's improvement happening where there isn't.
it's true there are risks involved, but there are ALSO risks involved in doing nothing.
