From what I heard #OP_CAT is too permissive, it would allow ethereum type complexity in bitcoin script , the thing that your node as to run for every transaction to verify. I am not a dev this sounds scary.
Good move, it would be even better if they would lobby against anti-privacy measures
I speak about a consensus change yes, it is normal to have multiple implementations of a protocol and dev forking the repos to work
Forking is bad because it splits the market / community . Like with bitcoin cash, our merchants and applications lost a lot of users.
It erode the value and recognizability of the currency.
Coinjoin and get the f out of this , buy MSTR if you want BTC denominated fiat
I think it's better to use bitcoin script to bring scalability and privacy to bitcoin users that opt-in.
This prevent bugs on L1 and avoid us forking every months.
Every time you fork, a set of people as to make decisions. Its bad for decentralization.
"If". Pure hypothetical. Fact is none of that is true *right now*, and may never be true. All depends on rate of adoption, consumer tech advances, and protocol level efficiency gains.
Bitcoin can't scale by your metric either and neither can lightning.

Yes, I know Nostr was built by Bitcoiners. Not sure what your point is.
Yes it cannot scale yet. But its open source, it's a work in progress.
We just need to assure layer 1 survives until we find a solution.
Monero blocksize is dynamic , if there was a lot of usage, it could become unusable. Especially for a nomad, someone using tor, someone without access to high speed bandwidth .
Shitcoiner !
For now yes , but if Monero had a lot of users it could not scale because of the big blocks.
With bitcoin you have fucking lightning network , and other layer2 that are continued to be built (element, statechains, ark, DLC markets)
By the way Nostr was built by the bitcoin community also
Yes but to prune you first need to sync.
Not everybody has to run a node, but to be part of that network at least having the layer 1 synced is a minimum for me.
I like that with bitcoin you can add different services to it, I like the creativity of bitcoin devs.
Monero looks like a monolith to me I don't find it interesting even if it's privacy may be good.
Last time I synced a bitcoin node behind tor it took me a week with fiber.
Not everybody as access to fiber or unlimited bandwidth.
Ah ok it would be impossible to run a node (imagine behind TOR) if Monero had a lot of transaction going if its dynamic
Yes the transaction cost is nothing because there is low demand to transact on it.
Because there is not much demand miners are not paid a lot, ~50000usd/day.
Yes but the transaction speed and cost is not the same as with a PoW blockchain, It could be used to buy a coffee, also there can be federated mints , and I'm sure someone is working on proof of reserve for ecash mints .
Also look at Monero block rewards this is scarry
