It makes it really easy to tell who doesn’t actually care about the financial revolution that is Bitcoin, or at least understand the bigger picture of a sound global currency.
If people want private transactions and don’t care about the monetary properties, why not just use ECash? Or Liquid? I suppose both have a small user set which makes it harder to be anonymous at this point but that will definitely change with time.
I think that deep down there is some shitcoiner level of cope going on, where real technical people who like cypherpunk ideas wish they had bought Bitcoin at $100 and see Monero as a chance for redemption.
It’s a shiny object. The idea of a perfectly private sound money is amazing. Unfortunately, there are these things called trade offs.
It’s almost always an ego problem when it comes to Bitcoin adoption
What if someone wants privacy WITHOUT custodians?
Ecash and Liquid don't provide that and is the obvious thing that is always overlooked
