Actually, I suspect you're right about it being about the added complexity. They may not personally fully grasp the technical intricacies of how zero knowledge proofs work, and therefore do not have sufficient first hand confidence in its soundness.
Discussion
its very similar to how normies don't understand public key encryption
and cant comprehend how Bitcoin could be a sound, mathematically-enforced system.
Its not a sound system, only in theory.. Its not perfectly traceable and maybe that's worse. Imagine selling kyc btc and then getting pole drived because of what the guy you sold btc did. People that are into bitcoin and monero are not understanding the problem bitcoin is.
I do understand. Bitcoin, but really any transparent crypto at this point is a severe problem that will fuck you over from every possible position: past, present and future.
Am I the only one that never bought non-kyc Bitcoin, hasnt touched the internet without multiple layers of privacy tools, since before Bitcoin even existed, and uses non-proprietary operating systems with FLOSS only?
So weird, that people say Bitcoin is not anonymous.
Its not about Bitcoin being anonymous. Its about you being anonymous.
For all the apple users out there that KYC themselves with everything they touch, there is Monero....
really horrible advice.
even if your stack is completely KYC free and you're as anon as you say, you still need a fungible MoE.
all anyone ever has to do to link all your payments to you is contact your trade counterparty and ask them.
and conversely if you buy KYC monero and send it somewhere that end up leaking to an Adversary ,its not protecting you very well.
noKYC always
use monero by default and ALWAYS for any sensitive payment.
It wasn't advice lol.
What trade counter party?
🙏😂.Ohboy...
oh so you don't actually USE it.
that's most private of all 👍
Of course I use it.
You make too many assumptions to have a worthwhile conversation.
Typical monero shitcoiner.
Just remember to enjoy life a bit too.
Touch some grass.
Follow your own advice instead of forcing it on others.
I feel sorry for you monero guys.
Still poor. Still wrong. Still upset everyday.
oh and you seemed like such a fun person to make friends with

You use all these privacy and FLOSS tools but you've never bought non-KYC Bitcoin? Or did you mean you never bought KYC Bitcoin?
which isn't what I was talking about.
Bitcoin
as a public key cryptography system
is perfectly sound.
you can always send your Bitcoin if you control the priv key.
traceability isnt germain to this particular thread.
