why do you trust those liars?
yes that was fake
you judge something you do not even know. watch it first, then write about it. otherwise it is pointless
all leading economists of all time
friedrich august hayek
milton friedman
recommend monero. even corporations do. the ceo of microstrategy.
did you watch the videos?
if you are openminded, you do.
if not then not
even michael saylor recommends monero:
what is shitcoins? i do not know that word. do you mean bitcoin which lost more than 80% of purchasing power in two years measured in real fiat terms?
bitcoin will not save your life in pakistan. the criminal government will be able to track you and arrest you. if you use bitcoin, they know who you are and what you do with your money.
privacy and mobile phone:
do not use a spiphone which cannot be made private. it is spyware by design, sending all of your information and app data constantly to apple. you cannot turn that feature off.
you can use android, but without google. android was developed by google but it is opensource. you can use android without gaaps and without a sim card privately.
the only phone providing privacy is a linux phone which is able to disconnect the sim card(and the battery as well). linux phones are in their infancy. the future belongs to them.

to answer your questions:
-hard fork: not every upgrade is a hardfork. the community decides about it. it was decided by the monero community to implement a hardfork on august 13th 2022 in order to make mining of monero with asics inefficient in order to avoid what happened to bitcoin- centralization of mining
-transactions: monero can do confirmed 7000tps. this is the real transaction amount of the visa network. the number of 20000tps is propaganda. at no point does visa do 20000 transactions. when monero will replace visa and mastercard, it can even be made more efficient by consensus building a new hardfork.
-kyc: even if you bought your monero from binance (not recommended) or kraken (recommended) and you withdraw the coins immediately after buying, all they will know is how many monero you own. they cannot touch them, they cannot block them, they cannot tell you what to do with your coins. monero is fully fungible. it is the same as receiving cash from your bank. monero from kyc exchange is fully useful. bitcoin from kyc is not.
you can also buy monero with bitcoin from localmonero, habanero(soon), from cakewallet (excellent, self custody) or from tradeogre (recommended, no kyc)
-bitcoin and privacy: there are the tools available you mentioned in order to make bitcoin somewhat private. there is no tool to make bitcoin 100% private. all tools mentioned are very expensive and too complicated for the average user.
lightning network: the lightning network is very good. fast, scales... it has three major flaws: centralization, security and privacy.
centralization: it is an additional layer on the bitcoin network. it is NOT bitcoin. most people think that it is but it is NOT. i believe that this is done on purpose. lightning is pushed by corporations and billionaires. as you know a lightning node needs to provide liquidity. it is a complicated system, frustrating for many and hardly profitable for anyone but for the billionaires and corporations who provide this liquidity increasing the cost for every transaction.
security: there are at least 5 known attacks possible. none of those attacks happened (yet). the double spending problem which you find in satoshi's white paper, one of the major problems of cryptography, is not solved with lightning.
lightning itself does not recommend to use it for larger transactions
privacy: there is no privacy with lightning. today's computers can trace your lightning transactions back yo you. it takes a much higher effort than with bitcoin but it is possible. you can make it kind of private using vpns, multiple nodes etc. but who wants to take those efforts when privacy is not guaranteed with even those measures?
what was not even mentioned, is the monero community. you will not find any corporations or greedy billionaires. the monero community also values freedom of speech. see for yourself:
monero can be mined on any computer even on car stereo
monero is what bitcoin buyer thought they bought
they collect your data for the government
why do you use a spiphone?
prepare with monero:
prepare with monero:
what do you know about monero mining?
monero can be mined with any computer, even car stereos
monero cennot be mined using asics
monero is decentralized
monero is a community driven protocol
monero is fungible and private
government and corporations which is identical cannot touch it
what do you know about bitcoin mining?
btc can only be mined with asics
all asics are made in china
mining centers are mega large like amazon warehouses or google datacenters
owned by corporations
more and more centralized
when btc mining ends in 17 years, mining fees have to be replaced with transaction fees which will skyrocket
