Yeah. Coinjoin and Lightning and the fact that WAY more people will take BTC for daily use stuff made me shift away from Monero. I hold some still, but I'm using and learning a lot more with BTC in hot wallets. I also never once converted a non-crypto person to XMR, but plenty are willing to try a Lightning wallet.

You’re not supposed to hold xmr you’re supposed to spend xmr
Agreed, and that's why I'm holding it. I have some very good no-KYC options for BTC. Not so much for XMR.
Atomic swap it back & forth
You can even do it with LN now
Well hell, I'll look at that. Guess I'm spending some XMR.
If you plan it right 95% of the time the fees get paid by the small market price swings.
And there’s plenty of no kyc swaps.
