 1. Pretty condescending. Maybe YOU will get it eventually?
2. Who said I want to be? My bags are heavy with BTC too.
3. Only someone who doesn't use onchain BTC could say that with a straight face. Bitcoin privacy and anonymity is a disaster, always has been.

Seems to me only someone not very intelligent or someone with a giant ideological axe to grind could come to such faulty conclusions.

I generally like your notes and don't think you're lacking in intelligence.

But I gotta ask you man, have you even ever used #monero ?!

Because there is a MASSIVE difference between paying different friends and family and strangers and between one's own wallets with zero care in the world, and having to separate everything, compartmentalize, do not cross-transfer, never link funds from different sources, and do all this with the thought in mind that perhaps one day one will be interfacing with a KYC service that does chainanalysis and one's past deeds will be retroactively exposed and some opaque algorithm will be used to decide whether one can or cannot access the service.

Two very different realities, let me tell you. I should know, I've experienced them both.

Have you?
