You cant have sovereignty without privacy.

Privacy and traceability are not necessarily the same thing imo. But yes at the bare minimum whatever electronic cash we settle on it damn well better have the privacy equivalence of fiat cash. This is why Bitcoin invokes a layered approach to money with the base layer solving for SoV and work to be done at higher layers for MoE transactional velocity in a privacy manner. Everything builds from #bitcoin. This is the only way.
Don't worry about the monero trolls. They come out every cycle.
Keep drinking the kool-aid.
Same to you. Hasn't killed me yet. When is the last time monero hit an all time high?
To be cash you need to be fungible at the base layer, this is achieved via privacy.
Privacy = fungibility.
Bitcoin isn't private therefore not fungible therefore not cash.
It's closer to non-funfible e-gold.
Also, lack of fungibility leaves it vulnerable to censorship.
But let me guess you know better than Szabo...
Ok, so use something else.
Nobody is forcing you to use Bitcoin.
Nobody is stopping you from collecting sea shells to trade with.
