Known cap of coins:
Bitcoin âś…
Monero ❌
Bitcoiners are not going to give up 21M for Monero. It’s that fucking simple.
Economics > Privacy.
Bitcoiners can always add better privacy. Monerobros cant add better economics.
Genuinely I hope Bitcoin learns from Monero. Monero won’t subsume Bitcoin because the network effects have already dictated the winner; the game is over and Bitcoin won long ago.
Monerobros can join Bitcoiners if they want. Some will, many won’t because we Bitcoiners have been cunts to many of them.
I get it, we’re a bunch of obnoxious fucks who on your own vector of privacy are worse off than you are.
Here’s the truth for Monerobros; you’re on a dead network.
Money centralises to one.
Monero is on borrowed time as is.
If Monerobros want to survive, they need Bitcoin more than Bitcoin needs them.
Bitcoin can add Monero features to enhance privacy - Monero can’t add Bitcoin Users to their network to sustain them.
So the question is - do Monerobros want to be part of the new paradigm? If so, they’ll work with Bitcoin devs and get their privacy added to BTC.
If they think they can go alone (this is no threat, this is game theory) then Monerobros can remain irrelevant and Bitcoiners will solve this eventually.
@Monerobros - time for you guys to decide. Are you joining us in the separation of money and state? Or are you gonna try stand alone with Bitcoin as one of your opponents?
