Indeed, Seth is a fan of monero (although I think he currently works for a Bitcoin outfit…someone fact check me). You are a fan of bitcoin. I’m a fan of both and I attempt to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both. I have no issue with “bias”. We all have preferences.

I like LN and encouraged by the development of increased privacy features. However, monero has default privacy on L1, and requires very little technical expertise to achieve that privacy. That’s very appealing, along with monero’s other attributes: PoW, CPU-mining, low transaction fees, etc.

Idk. Seth’s sudden change that bitcoin privacy is good enough has me slightly concerned that he’s been bought out by somebody in the bitcoin space. Nothing has changed since Seth was very adamant of bitcoins privacy shortcomings. Why the disappearance from the spotlight for a while and then return being super pro bitcoin. Odd.

His bird app profile says he’s head of content for Foundation Devices. They may have asked him to tone down opinions regarding Monero. Or perhaps he’s just too busy.

The Monerotopia 2023 website lists him as a speaker. Dunno.
