If your privacy model depends on a hard fork every year, thats not resilience, thats fragility. Bitcoins privacy evolves without risking chain splits every time it upgrades. Its a serious security risk and increases the attack surface.
Comparing monero base layer to Bitcoin layer 2s tools is disingenuous. Bitcoin builds on bedrock and monero is built on sand that needs constant patching
"Bitcoins privacy" has hardly evolved. The base layer is as transparent as it was the day it was created.
And comparing Bitcoins base layer security and attack surface to L2s is disingenuous. Especially with completely custodial systems like ecash.
hard forks arent "patches," they are network upgrades. software has to upgrade as the environment it operates in changes. monero updates in a clear direction and in an organized way, with community support.
also, bitcoins privacy hasn't upgraded at all. you're pretending there's improvement happening where there isn't.
it's true there are risks involved, but there are ALSO risks involved in doing nothing.
