Bitcoin isn’t confused…the observers are.

It’s not trying to be everything to everyone. It’s solving the hardest problem first: absolute scarcity and decentralized trust. That’s the foundation. Every other use case, from Lightning to custody to censorship resistance, is built on that bedrock.

Monero? Great privacy, but no credible decentralization roadmap or supply audit. PAXG? Issued by a centralized entity with counterparty risk.

Bitcoin stands alone: unforgeable, unprintable, unstoppable.

It’s not about finding a use case…it is the use case. Now it’s on us to build, teach, and prove it.

decentralization roadmap? huh?

what is your compliant with monero centralization?

also supply inflation is audited with every block.

Good questions. Monero’s done solid work, especially with inflation audits. I respect that. My concern is more about its smaller dev base and node centralization compared to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin’s supply is fully transparent and auditable by anyone without complex cryptographic assumptions. That level of trust minimization is hard to beat

but tbh

nobody actually verifies the Bitcoin supply themselves.

they trust the code to do it for them.

yes Monero has additional complexity.

but it isn't really THAT different for the end user

and also, the Pedersen commitments that guarantee Monero supply are old and well-understood.

not really arguing, just a different perspective.

as people become more used to the idea of Bitcoin

they will become more comfortable trusting cryptographic primitives.

Bitcoiners now are just like precoiners from 2014,

willing to trust certain specific primitives they don't understand. but not others.

The key difference of trust is big for end users
