Privacy is a huge concern of mine so I have a lot of respect for Monero and the community.
I dabbled with Monero, ran a node, read some of the code a few years back.
But ultimately my conclusion was this isn't going to work and will likely die a slow death as fewer and fewer people accept it as payment.
I could easily be wrong, but that is my current assessment of it, so I'm sticking to bitcoin and learning the best ways to use it privately.
Wishing you guys the best though, I'm not a hater.
