Sorry for missing out on the deeper meaning of cryptocurrency. Here on Nostr you have the possibility to talk to plenty of Bitcoin OGs from 2009-2012. Almost all of them own and use Monero while at the same time owning Bitcoin.

If you are a newcomer (basically anybody after 2012) you are not the alpha you think you are. You invested in Bitcoin when it became socially acceptable.

That's also the reason why you dismiss Monero. You are waiting for confirmation.

No problem. You'll get your confirmation in the coming years.

#Bitcoin is a protocol.

In that view there are users and no users.

Early or late is a bit cringing, although I admit I also fall easily for it.

The fact almost non early Bitcoiers have made it, as lost, dismissed, sold their corn early is just proof they didn't had any clue what they were putting Money in so didn't understand at all.

Those holding #Bitcoin but using Monero......

Holding #Bitcoin is using, transferring to Monero is using not the smartest usage but perhaps better than transfer to fiat.

I don't see the need to transfer to Monero but people are free to do what they want.

All those who switched to Monero long ago will admit they would have rather hold on to #Bitcoin.

If not they are not honest.

Money has more aspects tha just privacy !

Then you followed only the news about easily sellable "I was early, butI sold it all" stories.

As I mentioned. Talk to OGs here. If you bought BTC in 2010 there was not even a Silkroad like market to buy your drugs. So people bought BTC because they understood what is wrong with the world/money. Those types never sold. Because they see fiat as the worthless tokens they are.

Later came druggies who used it for their own purpose.

Ironically you can see the same movement play out in Monero again.

1. you need those who understand money

2. you need real users

3. speculators will come in seeing value
