The willingness of Bitcoiners to ignore other projects that follow the same ideals, but with different trade-offs is beyond belief. Monero's P2P pool works today and miners won't KYC- ever, thanks to CPU mining. Which of course has some other downsides. But that's the nature of trade-offs.

If we want to build systems that create a stable foundation for future generations we need to understand that everything in this world is polarity that needs to be "managed" in order to not become one-sided. Nature is a perfect example in that regard.
