"Privacy" is multidimensional and weird. On one hand you are providing less data than others. OTOH, by providing significantly less, you are standing out from the crowd like a sore thumb, effectively being "unique" and thus trackable

All Trump had to do was: lower taxes, end Russia war, do a strategic bitcoin reserve (with the $500B that was recently wasted on AI investing non-sense), don't initiate wars, and cut federal spending. Instant win for everyone.

Instead what we've got was: a shitcoin scam that has 80% insider supply and is trending to zero, no strategic bitcoin reserve, "digital assets" non-sense talk, hostility towards Canada Mexico China Greenland and EU, retarded tarrifs / trade wars that will 100% cause inflation and crash the market.

It's not 4D chess, Trump is a clown.

Deepseek R1 671B is quite good!

Comes up with accurate and useful information.

Unfortunately no web search in venice yet.

You have no idea. You just made that up. They are private. They could be all swaps in and out of Bitcoin.

They could also be the same 1000 people sending xmr back and forth in small amounts to make it seem like people are actually using it.

Show me a ledger of transactions and amounts and maybe prove your thesis. Oh wait ...

Monero TX are mostly TX for payments where Bitcoin TX are mostly investors. There is a big difference. Lightning is nearly nine existent in general. You can find more store that accept Monero as Lightning. You compare sending Zaps with real payments? Really? And most of the Zappi de zap is custodial.

The most important thing is a payment which you can do in a private way. They track everything in BTC and they stop payments now, block funds etc. So Bitcoin runs in a dead end.

Preserving purchasing power is the single most important aspect of a sound money and the only savior of global families.

Buying a VPN or web hosting privately isn't in the top 50.

And as I have shown, Monero tx, NOT including lightning network are 8% of Bitcoin tx daily.

In fact, I'd be willing to bet lightning is very close to on par with volume to Monero daily. Zaps alone are almost 10% of xmr daily volume, and I bet zaps aren't 10% of LN daily tx.

If nobody can sell, it would have been very flat on dollar terms, aka, losing purchasing value like Monero.

Bitcoin has lost its ethos. Its more and more monitored as more govs buy it. They wouldn't invest billions of fiat shitcoin if they couldn't watch everything very closefully. They stop now your transactions, block you funds etc. Congrats to that development.

You didn't kick out regulators and custodians, they dropped you. Good lord Monero boys are a dense group.

Monero will never be money used globally. Never.

Real people, companies, and corporations will not take it for manufacturing, oil, minerals, space flights, wholesale wood, pork bellied, etc...

Banks will not create financial products, loans, insurance using Monero. There will be no local banks enough masse that will create savings accounts for Monero, there will be no major inheritance products designed to distrobute to kin, and on.

There will be nonproperty tax paid in Monero.

There will be no bonds issues in Monero at city, county, or federal levels.

Economic zones and countries in their global trade will not be done in xmr, ever.

I could give 2 shits some darkweb and random places accept it. I am talking about the real world. I am talking about paying the power company, you muniple trash bill, taxes, everything that actually gets transacted daily.

If your thesis is that governments will cease to collect taxes or that they will allow you to pay in a currency that has no auditable and provable ledger to make sure the money didn't come from drugs, China, whatever, you are out of your fucking mind.

Bitcoin has the best chance, but I am not sold it can do it either. But there is a 100% chance Monero does not become a globally accepted currency

I am sorry you invested in a cryptocurrency that didn't and won't get adopted, that sucks. But let's not play childish pretend games.

Monero has been making a steady drop against Bitcoin for almost a decade, lol. It is done 40% this year and 90% all time. Good luck with that.

The reason it is flat or just a bit up is literally because nobody knows or can sell it. It has a lack of liquidity. That's not a good thing. It means at any given time, if it were to be relisted on larger exchanges, like coinbase for instance, it could have major drops.

Instead, the largest exchange is kucoin, 😂. Less than 30 million traded, and overall is zero for USD or GBP or Yen or Yuan.

So the mini ecosystem is just holders and intertraders. That is 100% opposite of the situation you want for a sound money.

Oh, and GM!

If not on Lightning it will come to other L2s on Bitcoin. Especially Bitcon mainchain rollups with zero-knowledge proofing are in the pipeline. They want to be interoperable with as many other chains as possible. Cooperation with Monero as L2 on Bitcoin may then be possible. Exciting times ahead, as we all know 😉
