Being a private MoE means nothing if you can’t store value in it, agreed. XMR folks have short time preference, they don’t believe Bitcoin will be able to compete on privacy eventually. I think we’re already 70% of the way there with ecash, lightning and other privacy tools being developed. Bitcoin is 10 years ahead on all other qualifications of money which they often overlook.

A great MoE can be a lesser SoV and vice versa. Bitcoin's has been a great SoV so far, but you would go broke quick using it for daily transactions. And this problem increases with more adoption.

Ecash is probably the only great privacy contender to Monero, but is custodial and the mints can arbitrarily create tokens out of thin air.

Lightning receiver privacy is shoddy, and sovereign UX is the reason everyone gives in to WoS. Incentivizes middlemen that centralise the network for cheaper/succesful routing also at the expense of privacy.

L2s will always sacrifice core aspects of Bitcoin. Trade offs to all of it.

This is all going to be seamless from a users perspective in 10-20 years. This is like saying the internet was flawed in the year 1998. Ya no shit, but it gets better every year. Will monero even be around in 20 years?
