it simply cannot be a store of value. I see 2 possibilities.  1 they create some tech that will be replicated in bitcoin and monero dies. 2 they create some tech that cannot be replicated in bitcoin and some people will still move in and out when they need to do some black market/illegal transactions. I hope monero grows so it becomes relevant enough to get a really adversarial environment, and we find out how private it really is. 

 That's all the point bitcoiners are missing, Bitcoin is stuck in regulations compliance, if you add real privacy on it, wall street will dump it or fork it. Bitcoin will become the enemy and bitcoiners don't want that, they want Bitcoin as a "digital gold" so let it be traceable with no privacy, you don't want to be that bad, Monero is here for that 😉  

 None of the either/or dilemmas you’ve listed here are actually either/or dilemmas. They need to be for Monero to have a long term value proposition at all, but they aren’t.
