I just don't think we need a second super small block size chain like BTC, that mainly scales through custodial solutions. I do think there is enough space for both protocols to thrive.

Your problem is that you think Bitcoin is money (it's not) that will eat all other coins and projects.

So what are the downsides of larger blocks on Monero? Miners still can't censor transactions. FCMP++ will enable payment channels/LN on Monero. Fee algo is completely different from BTC.

Inflation is currently the same between both. Supply will be smaller for XMR until 2040 and I bet by then Bitcoin will need a hardfork to secure its security budget through tail emission.

Ask Peter Todd.

Only fools ignore Monero, which is essentially a protocol for Bitcoiners by OG Bitcoiners.
