They didn't trace Monero, they traced people who deposited Monero in exchanges.

Bitcoin private sends are not private at all. The chain is transparent, doesn't take a genious to correlate the transaction based on the amount.

You can NEVER have PRIVACY on L1 Bitcoin as it exists now. You can have PSEUDOANONYMITY at best, and it's always a losing game, because anything and everything you do is not just transparent, but eternally transparent.

Monero, on the other hand, gives anyone and everyone who uses it PRIVACY and ANONYMITY at the blockchain level.

The lack of privacy in the bitcoin L1 affects your privacy in intricate ways in layer twos, in much the same way that mass surveillance online is a thing because IP (the protocol) does not encrypt neither payload nor packet headers.

One follows from the other, and only people who are not very technical, not very bright, or highly cultist/dogmatic (or a combination of those) can fail to see such an obvious point.

#monero does indeed fix this particular problem. But you see, except for a few nutjobs that make wild claims and take it too seriously, most monero users understand that the amazing privacy and anonymity which you need unless you like mass-surveillance (spoiler: monero users don't, that's why we use it) come with tradeoffs, because as anyone with a basic grasp of economics knows, THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS, ONLY TRADEOFFS.

And so most Monero users are bitcoin hodlers too, and in fact LITERALLY 100% of the bitcoiners I know from 2016 and earlier find all of this pretty obvious.

For some reason the new crops take Bitcoin as some kind of religion or some shit, and are unresponsive to rational persuation.

Consequently, and since experience reliably tells me you will not change your mind, don't even bother replying. This is more for the passerby readers whose minds have not calcified into religious dogma yet.

It truly is very simple. Monero & Bitcoin are tools anyone can use, and if you use Bitcoin, you probably should be using Monero too.

Holy hell did you miss the point.

I made up a number for simplicty.

I could have same 1 million sats. or 100k.

Wait til you learn how the legacy monetary system works.

Hmm.. elaborate for me on that one

In a $100M/BTC world, transaction fees would likely still be measured in sats per vbyte, with averages similar to today (e.g., 10 sats/vbyte). However, the dollar value of those fees would increase significantly due to Bitcoin’s higher price. For example, a typical 150 vbyte transaction at 10 sats/vbyte would cost 1,500 sats, or $1,500 USD at $100M/BTC. This makes on-chain transactions ideal for high-value settlements, while smaller, everyday transactions would shift to layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network. Bitcoin’s design ensures that on-chain fees remain efficient for large-scale economic activity, while still scaling for everyday users.

BITCOIN IS A SHITCOIN WHEN COMPARED WITH MONERO

STEP UP YOUR GAME

1 #XMR = 180.960 #EUR

1 #XMR = 187.560 #USD

1 #XMR = 1166.928 #BRL

1 #BTC = 500.125 #XMR

1 #ETH = 18.064 #XMR

1 #LTC = 0.562 #XMR

The #Linux laptop segment isn't really serving the low-end of the market. The absolute cheapest Tuxedo laptop I found is like 3.25 #Monero and Framework and System76 are even higher. I see no Linux laptops in the below 2XMR category. Because I don't need much computing power on my laptop and because I don't use a laptop super often I'm honestly looking for something in the 1-1.25XMR area but am limited to buying Windows and installing Linux myself.

When #Bitcoin hits $100 million per coin and $1 equals 1 satoshi, wages in sats will adjust dramatically to reflect Bitcoin’s immense purchasing power. For perspective, at today’s price of $97,000 per Bitcoin, earning 20,000 sats/hour is about $20/hour. But at $100M/BTC, 20,000 sats/hour would equal $20,000/hour—clearly unrealistic for most jobs.

In a $100M/BTC world, wages might look like this:

🔸Basic jobs: 5–20 sats/hour

🔸Skilled positions: 20–50 sats/hour

🔸Specialized roles: 100–500 sats/hour

Even 10 sats/hour will represent meaningful income, aligning with today’s equivalent wages. As fiat collapses under constant inflation, Bitcoin’s fixed supply will protect purchasing power and usher in an sat-based economy where value is measured fairly.

Sats will become the ultimate unit of account, preserving wealth and rewarding productivity in ways fiat never could.
