I respect this. 

There are plenty of people living under regimes where the ability to transact with near-perfect privacy *by default* is of greater importance than a doubtless guarantee of supply cap/supply auditability, socially-approved transaction rails, NGU, etc.

I’d rather hold Bitcoin. It feels like Bitcoin will change (and fix) much of what’s broken in our society around money — the hard supply cap and transparent blockchain work to prevent a lot of the government+corporate+central banking fuckery that got us into this mess in the first place. I want to be a part of that movement. 

A private digital cash might not solve those problems as well (nor is it intended to). Privacy yields its own benefits — the argument for using Monero is a solid one, and in certain circumstances, the tradeoffs strike me as acceptable.

My two sats.
