I spend a lot of time analyzing the different privacy methods that currently exist in bitcoin, including Monero as a privacy tool.

There is nothing that convinces me 100%, they all have counterparts.

All of these include:

- Lightning network

- Liquid network

- Swaps

- Coinjoins

- eCash

- Statechains

- Monero swaps

- combination of the above.

It is not that they are not effective but they have trade-offs such as:

- some have little protection from a state actor.

- expensive

- complicated for the average user

- Some are unusable for the plebs in high rate environments
