While I concede that btc has a privacy problem further worsened by kyc on exchanges, most of the btc (about 70%) was never seized and most of the folks still got to use it. Probably would have been much easier to get around if they had more places they could spend it without selling. I am also not a Monero expert esp it’s technicals, but I think that it probably has a branding and liquidity problem in the sense that a lot of CEXs have delisted it and the avg person unfortunately uses CEXs to access cryptocurrencies. That’s why I still maintain it was a bitcoin ad, despite the shortcomings of btc.
