 No, and no again.  
 Cope harder. Bitcoin is and has always been superior money. If you only ever use something to spend then it isnt money. If you only ever want something for privacy it isn't money, if you only ever pay in the shadows hiding from the state you aren't changing shit. I prefer my money censorship resistant vs private.  If the state can't stop it it doesn't matter how public it is.  
 "If you only ever use something to spend then it isnt money."

Greshams Law says the exact opposite. Even if you are correct people will use a "worse" money (you claim this is Monero) and hold a better money (No one will want to use Bitcoin). We kind of see this already. Bitcoin is used less in proportion to it's users and mcap (8x-10x less than Monero)

And if you make yourself an easy target for the state you aint changing shit either. The state can force miners to apply targeted censorship on Bitcoin. They can't with Monero.
