The Fantasy of Late-Stage Heroism

· 16 years in, BTC has:

· Nation-states adopting

· Wall Street plumbing

· Actual black/gray market use (despite "transparency")

· XMR has:

· Reddit hype

· A privacy model already being cracked (see: 2022 tracing breakthroughs)

The Shady Past They Ignore

· Fluffypony’s exit (Founder bailed)

· "RandomX" centralization (ASIC resistance = GPU oligarchs)

· 60% premine (But "Bitcoin is the scam!")

"They built a ‘better’ mouse trap.

The world kept using doors.

The rodents died waiting."
