I think the USD is a better shitcoin because everyone who has goods and services I want will accept it as payment. Eventually they will want some of my bitcoin for themselves and they will figure out how to receive it as payment (on chain, liquid, lightning, etc). I don’t want to hold monero, and I don’t think many merchants I interact with will ever prefer monero. IMO, people who don’t think monero is a shitcoin would do better focusing on convincing merchants to like it rather than trying to convince bitcoiners to like it.

Interesting that, "accepted universally" is your reason dollars are better.

At the beginning, no one accepted bitcoins, that didn't mean it didn't have the inherent properties to be better money than the dollar.

As for merchants accepting monero. They do.

I've never seen anything for #Bitcoin as comprehensive as this is for #Monero. It'd be cool if someone could build this for bitcoiners.

Money being accepted by people who have something I want is the whole point of money. I think bitcoin is the best money but not everyone yet agrees so I convert my money back to the one they want when needed. We’ll see in 10yrs who was right I guess. In the meantime, I’ll continue telling everyone monero is a shitcoin and they should focus on Bitcoin only. I’m sure you’ll continue to promote your view as well. Eventually, the market will force one of us to change our opinion.
