"Exchanges delisting it" as a selling point made me chuckle. Much adoption, much wow.
Monero is too obvious for the state. It's getting banned and criminalized everywhere, and no one wants to hold it for long. Bitcoin is the ultimate savings tech that many adopt, and a trojan horse towards the state.
As far as I remember Bitcoin donations have the biggest share, they are just not consistent. They also said somewhere that they use Bitcoin to pay their developers.
Monero is too obvious imo and actually gets them into trouble. While private Bitcoin tx are also very much possible.
I had noticed after the splicing update fees were getting higher on Phoenix wallet, so I finally got around to testing a couple new options.
---
First up is Mutiny wallet, I'm really liking it! The Android APK is working well now if you happen to be on that OS.
I tested sending lightning payments up to 1M, using Alby, WoS, and Zeus with Olympus LSP as receiving wallets. They all worked. Fees were reasonable, ranging from 11-25 sats for the 1M sat transfers.

I also set up the Zeus integrated lightning node, Olympus. I like the Zeus interface, I use it as a front end for Alby on my phone.
Zeus had trouble sending larger payments. I wasn't able to send over 250K in my tests today, once again testing with WoS, Alby, and Mutiny as receiving wallets. Fees were a bit higher as well, 84 sats consistently for a 250K transfer.

nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg and nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 are still in beta, so your mileage may vary, here be dragons, etc. Both are much better in respect to fees than Phoenix is currently. I have decently large channels open in both now, so I will be able to continue testing more in the future. I can't wait to see what they build going forward!

After the Phoenix update, spending fees were higher but receiving fees were lower in general. Make sure to tick all the boxes when you review.
Got a force close on my Android/GrapheneOS but I wouldn't dare to blame Mutiny.
Saving is most definitely a use case. Monero users in awe.
Fees for sending sats indeed increased, but fees for receiving onchain decreased.
There's already a total % per party. I assume opposing parties won't consolidate?
Total surveillance. You don't have anything to hide, do you?

Looking forward to the total transparency of governments. If they have nothing to hide, then they shouldn't be afraid.
Lol on the sunscreen. Australians want a word with you.
Probably nowadays a mod on the Buttcoin subreddit.
"I don't believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can't take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can't stop."
Hayek
I think you're right.
Throwaway e-mail and no location rights on GrapheneOS...
I agree. This is not the mindset of a bitcoiner, but something an investor would say. If you believe that Bitcoin can change the world and become THE money, then why would you even think of selling your bitcoin for fiat (too early). Doesn't make any sense.
Prepare to slay another "hero" some time in the distant future.
You mean the spam attack?
