Yea it is so sad to realize that the opportunity we had with BTC looks like it will be missed.
People will realize the madness of no privacy in a world where they want to force inject you a new experimental gene therapy every now and then only when things in their life gets really bad.
I am pretty sure, sooner or later we will have a hard fork with a private version of Bitcoin. It might never become popular but i am confident it will happen sooner or later.
But as i am waiting too long for that to happen already, my choice is also XMR.
