 By the EXACT same logic
you cant trust ECDSA to ensure that only your private keys can spend your utxos.

But you do.

Your whole argument is just
"I trust Team Bitcoin when they say ECDSA is secure.
But I don't trust Team Monero when they say range proofs are secure.
I don't DYOR.
I don't verify.
I just follow the prevalent groupthink of the team I like."

Frankly, you're a sorryass Bitcoiner. 
 WRONG. 

I trust that private keys work because I’ve literally used them to spend. But you keep moving the goalposts lmao prove that the monero supply is sound first. 

Frankly you can HFSP 🫡 
 <sigh>
lol ok

You have no evidence your private key is the only key that can spend a utxo.

This property of bitcoin depends on the ECDSA encryption it uses being mathematically sound and the implementation being correctly coded

YOU *TRUST* THE BITCOIN COMMUNITY WHEN THEY TELL YOU THIS IS SO.

YOU ARE ALREADY RELYING ON CRYPTOGRAPHIC PRIMITIVES YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU JUST REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. 
 Do you have any evidence that a different private key can spend my utxos? All you’re doing is talking in abstract theoretical “what ifs.” But it’s just unproductive mental masturbation.

Provide evidence that monero’s supply is sound. If you can’t, then that is the main reason why bitcoin is winning against monero. Adding zero proofs or whatever you call it to bitcoin would jeopardize supply soundness. 
 if you dont have the ability to actually reflect on your fundamental assumptions you are a waste of time.

point is
you demand proof from me,
but trust other "maxis."
WITHOUT understanding or DYOR on *either* of the cryptographic primitives involved.

it is intellectually inconsistent and you arent a cypherpunk or a true bitcoiner.
just a team player unwilling to make the effort of critical thinking.

have a nice day.
