There will be KYC Bitcoin and noKYC Bitcoin.

The former will be a perfect tool for control and surveillance and at a later stage tool for extortion of unrealised gains. The latter will have the same fate as Monero, but less well equipped with many more ways to fuck up ones Opsec.

Guess what. They pump KYC Bitcoin for as long as the fiat press works. They make it impossible to trade noKYC Bitcoin on pleb friendly surveilled and data mined exchanges.

The price is not anymore an indicator one should look at to define success.

Success is usage despite suppression of price and delisting. And in that category Monero is the leader by far.
