Poor Luke. It's a shame because he's a good guy and, a little bit like MrMoneyMustache, he's fundamentally a brother on many fronts. But he's misguided. He's been shilling for monero for a long time and the butt hurt will probably get to anyone.

With ecash and lightning, not to mention other second layer projects and sidechains like liquid, you can get much more privacy and scalability with bitcoin than with monero.

But I like his take about aiming for 99.999999% purity as a realistic goal. I make many decisions in my life that are not good for me financially or just practically, because I choose to take a moral stand. Morals are expensive, at least in the short term. Maybe they're cheaper in the long term, I'm not sure.
