"Fiat masters" have existed this whole time yet tech continually progressing kind of throws a wrench in that thesis. Bitcoin relies on fiat tech too btw.
Permissionlessness isn't unique to Bitcoin.
You can run a Monero full node right now for less minimum reqs than Bitcoin. Clearly superior according to you I guess?
If your goal is private transactions, an encrypted chain with an offchain L2 will always be superior over one with a transparent base.
Monero only runs faster because nobody uses it. Don't trust, verify. You can't verify shit with Monero. The bottom line is you are sacrificing the money part of money for your privacy, when you don't even need to. Have fun staying poor
What exactly is the money part? 99.9% of the people still rely daily on unfungible, unauditable and inflating by decree fiat "money".
Monero is x1000 better than fiat.
Bitcoin is better than gold.
Use both.
Can't verify max supply, can't scale with increased use, and I'm sure there are other things. Meanwhile, you can use lightning btc p2p which is very private. You can buy p2p which is anon. If you have to switch out of BTC to use it, you're defeating the purpose.
Anyway nothing personal but it's not my job to educate you. Do your own research homie
I am completely against CB and social credit scores, but you are assuming the battle is already lost.
I would think you are against it, as am I, but just showing what lack of privacy enables bad actors to do. This wouldn't be possible if Bitcoin was private.
I'm not assuming the battle is lost, because it isn't inevitable, just pointing out examples as they happen.
