when a fully functioning drivechain-style L2 provides the same level of privacy as monero at an affordable price to a large number of concurrent users, you are welcome to come back again and try to convince us to stop using altcoins

Privacy solutions have been coming to Bitcoin for over a decade

Just around the corner ⌚💀

Imagine thinking hardforks don't require network participants to choose to use them

If a fork was widely disliked by the community users would simply not use the hardfork and trade away their Monero, and/or it would be forked off into something those community of users like. That's the essence of a network after all. Voluntary participation.

That's how Monero was created to begin with. Users didn't like what the previous devs were doing, and left that network by forking off and throwing that previous coin into oblivion. Free market competition and FOSS decentralization is wonderful 😙👌

the maxis have developed an allergy to consensus changes. they are in disbelief that a cryptocurrency community is able to unanimously consent to consensus changes more than twice a decade. they have no real argument to back up this disbelief but they think like this anyway.

I agree with you. Time will show us, but we already can see what the infrastructure will look like, and future of Bitcoin will be custodial for people.

You are funny, only core devs develop BTC L1, and the are not improving Bitcoin, Bitcoin can't scale and can"t have privacy because they were hijacked..

I don't think that the attack vector is miners refusing to process different L1 transactions. I think the attack vector is different.

there's a perverted vision for bitcoin where creating a L1 transaction is as difficult as dispatching an oil tanker. it will only be performed by financial institutions and it will be very expensive. they will open lightning channels and 99% of the bitcoin users will not be able to afford anything besides interacting with custodial lighting wallets operated by large banks. once custodians are in control of 99% of the user interactions, they can impose financial censorship very easily.

permissionlessness and censorship resistance can only be preserved by making self-custody more scalable. this means that pairing excessively small blocks with the lightning network is not good enough. I can either pray for bitcoin to have a consensus change to make self-custody more scalable, or I can use the altcoins that bitcoin thus far has failed to make redundant.

Bitcoin devs are building for banks and the system, Monero devs are building for the people.

Ones want Freedom Tech, others want NGU tech!

We are not the same!

Time will show you, you just need to wait, you allways have the price in mind and you are not measure the censorship resistance proprieties from Bitcoin.

I can't see where XMR are suffering a painful death when it was banned from CEX's and we keep going like nothing happens, only a little price slide.

But your coin even with countries and companies buying is struglling to pass 100k, can you explain why?

By what i can see BTC is the one is suffering a painful death, with less and less people using it for transactions and payments..
