All those people who elect to use it at coincards, shopinbit etc, such that Monero is the most used coin there, sure seem to think otherwise.

All the darknet markets buyers and sellers, who really need the privacy and anonymity in their payments, sure seem to think otherwise.

All the governments who ban it, either explicitely or behind the scenes, sure seem to think otherwise.

It'll never cease to amaze me that self-professed believers in free market and individual liberty somehow manage to blind themselves to the truth when it's not convenient (i.e, not congruent with their unchecked assumptions and dogmatic beliefs).

How am I supposed to use it if no one I know accepts it? They are not even familiar with it.

You might be right about darknet usage but I don't need anything that requires payment there.

In my business, I'm paying my supplier with bitcoin and he doesn't accept shitcoins. Are you telling me in order to use monero, I actually have to convince him to accept it? Sorry, I don't have the time or energy for that. And how will it be more private if my supplier knows that it's me who's paying him.

In addition, and this is a VERY important point, how do I go on about purchasing it KYC-free? If your answer is that I should exchange my bitcoin for it, then you need to seriously consider how crazy you sound.

You expecting me to let go of bitcoin and concentrate on monero is a shitcoinologist's wet dream.

Blah blah blah

You woulda said exactly the same thing about bitcoin in 2015.

Everyone is really happy to collect the benefits of increased adoption, privacy and education but dont want to do the work.

Your logic makes no sense. What's the difference between paying your supplier with bitcoin and replenishing the bitcoin you used to buy monero?

Money is something you earn, spend and save, whether that's bitcoin, monero or both. Are you sure that's what you do?

My supplier doesn't accept and doesn't want monero. Should I change my supplier just to please you?

And in what way will monero provide me with more peivacy if my supplier already knows the payment is coming from me?

No, it is your logic that doesn't make sense because it's basically shitcoin logic.

You're the one who sounds crazy. You're scared to exchange a little of your Bitcoin for a few minutes to make a payment. Listen to yourself. Scared of your own shadow.

What do you think? That XMR/BTC is immediately going to drop 99% the second you get it?

LOL 😂 thats hilarious

Once upon a time your supplier didn't accept Bitcoin either, and be either researched it himself and adopted it, or someone orange-pilled him.

It's understandable you don't have the patience to educate and redpill people on privacy. Although I would say that is unfortunate, because lack of awareness about its importance is exactly why we are where we are today, and it was all so predictable and avoidable.

Also, to you and anyone else who happens to read, get into your head that most Monero users are not maxis, we care about PRIVACY and ANONYMITY, and we believe Monero is the best financial tool for that purpose at the moment.

I won't go into the pro/cons and up/downsides of Monero vs Lightning, so I will just say to you, I am just as happy if at least you use lightning when you pay your supplier.

Help normalize privacy. That's all most of us (also most of us use or at least hold Bitcoin too, often at a 90:1 or even bigger ratio, by the way) are asking for.

It's the normalization of reckless transparency that criminalizes people like me. We just want to do our thing and be left alone. Nothing shady (mostly lol), nothing special, but I have a right to do my business and my transactions without doxxing everything to government, corporations, and on a transparent chain, literally to the whole world in perpetuity.

It's not too much to ask. Right?
