 You use monero to pay mullvad, ivpn, njalla, 1984 hosting etc. fully anonymous, what is the problem. You can't do that with BTC. Use the tools wisely. 
 lightning network today works better then monero, I think it makes it totally obsolete.
But I understand other point of views, and that monero, as all things, can be used for good by well informed people.
This doesnt confute my prior statement: newbies are being scammed by monero shitcoiners thinking it has property that makes it usable in the long term and so it is valuable to hold. They will learn the hard way as other shitcoiners, they are not better then ethards for the "muh privacy" meme. 
 That's why everyone uses Lightning custodially. Because it works so darn well.
