Yes, Bitcoiners *did that all the time back in the good old days. There are even memes about Bitcoiers evangelising Bitcoin to their fellows on parties in 2013. My response: People should have listened to the high alpha signal.
Monero supporters are largely Bitcoin OGs from 2009 to 2012. So no wonder they are still evangelising, now that Bitcoin made it as a digital store of value. What's still unfinished business is digital cash and the best privacy for private offshore wealth.
Again this is high alpha signal. Most people (including Bitcoiners) will ignore it again.
