Oddbean new post about login | logout I have only found 2 exceptions: (1) Thorchain as a permissionless bridge between btc and stables and (2) privacy coins like Monero. I think they have real (niche) use cases. But in the longer arc of history we will likely only need btc.
1) Check out Asgardex for Thorchain. They don't censor or blacklist like the Thorswap frontend. github.com/asgardex/asgardex-desktop 2) Unless Bitcoin changes a lot of things on the base layer there are no full replacements for L1 privacy like Monero. Ecash (the only real privacy contender atm) is custodial. Liquid is permissioned. Lightning increasingly grows less and less p2p because of it's nature. And many many other problems I could continue listing that each one has that Monero doesn't.
