Oddbean new post about login | logout True Bitcoiners in for the right reasons could easily start the next rally by allocating only 1% of their BTC in Monero. This would also be a perfect hedge for any maxi, as the current ratio gives you 200 XMR for 1 BTC. Knowing that Monero is a scarcer asset until 2040 this should be a nobrainer, as for most BTC the biggest security issue should be in BTC lack of privacy.
Samourai wallet is working on integrating XMR atomic swaps into their wallet, if there are bitcoiners in for the right reasons without any XMR yet, they won't be after that's released that's for sure. https://nitter.net/pokkst/status/1713024565675229317
Yeah this is a very good thing, but you will have to be careful, in general you would be looking to get rid of your dirty BTC against XMR and not the other way around, I can't imagine what the state of Bitcoiners' privacy would be without samurai.
BTC lack of privacy makes its close to useless as a replacement for fiat. I find it incredible that after a decade none of the BTC maximalists have anything to say about the lack of privacy/anonymity of bitcoin. Devs are doing nothing to address it. Even if you are prepared to jump through hoops ( coin join or whatever) to protect your privacy it remains pretty weak and its difficult, tedious and painful to even bother, you need to be a security expert also.
Zaps are even less private unless you run your own node which helps A LITTLE, and who the hell can be bothered with that!
