XMR people are inherently pessimistic. they assume the KYC regime will continue. they are like goldbugs where their solution is only needed if govt power grows or the power goes off.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is a positive force and reduces govt power by making transactions uncensorable. And as fiat fails, govts have fewer resources to enforce control. There is where KYC dies.

If the XMR folks want to fight with privacy coin more power to them, but they will be nowhere when fiat/KYC dies and their coin has no use case.

Even if monero survives and it is useful for “private” transactions I still don’t understand why anyone would hold it over bitcoin.

If anything I would swap from bitcoin into monero to make my “private” transaction and move on…

I am completely aligned with you about the privacy advocates anyway. Far more important to be permisionless. If you run a node and hold your own bitcoin you should be fine

F*ck the governments. They already have all of our info and know what we are doing. Do the bare minimum to comply until they lose their power

It is clear they have the ability to see anything they want to see. I wonder how locked down their opsec really is and how sure they are their computers have never been remotely accessed. it's all a guessing game when the govt has been investing billions into cracking us open.
