This was a weak argument and leans more to propaganda. What these fellas don't seem to comprehend is that privacy will cost you a kingdom in the future. Drugs and such are bought and sold with all the funds like cash and bank transfers already. Monero is not necessarily a dark coin for nepharious dealings, it is a way to defy the tyranny upon us, the loss of freedom of speech and movement. Bitcoin is now supported by Blackrock and Palenteer so wake up. Bitcoin is already controlled by big banksters.

The timeframe he gave "a year or so" is around the same time FCMP is going to be implemented on Monero. Maybe even by the end of the year.

Doesn't seem likely that darknet and privacy-centric markets move to BCH when they can continue using Monero for the same thing. Maybe they'll add it as an option? But for example Shielded Zcash (essentially what BCH will offer), Litecoin MWEB, and Lightning have been available for awhile. Why havent they been adopted in these places? We already have many examples that optional privacy = low usage of that privacy on all these things.

BCH is still missing other privacy components like Dandelion for node level privacy. It also doesn't have the battle-tested history, ethos, and constant improvement of Monero in these environments. He seems to be clueless when he smugly says "fine, use Monero if youre drug running..." uhhhh that's where your actual privacy is going to be put to the test and have it's kinks worked out. In adversarial environments. If it works for them it's going to work for your average user.

Not hating. I'm not opposed to using ZK on BCH. They should still do it for their users, but it just seems unlikely to overcome existing network effect of Monero for all those reasons.

We support both of you equally!

This is by far the most retarded thing I have read today this year.
