this is provably incorrect. monero recently does over 20% of bitcoins transaction volume. at EVERY company that offers both Bitcoin and Monero payment methods, Monero is more popular. absolutely agree Bitcoin has a larger network effect, but your echo chamber is showing and it's not the disparity you think it is.

And like 5.99% of those people don't use Bitcoin. They hold Bitcoin IOUs on their Coinbase app and do jack shit with it.

Everybody I know that is into BTC also knows about or owns Monero. ALL of them. If your city only sees little adoption of Bitcoin or Monero humbly ask yourself: What have I done wrong, that my city is so far behind the curve? At one point OGs realised that being the first Bitcoiner in your city also comes with responsibilities. I see that Monero people these days care more about their fellow citizens having a good store of value and a PRIVATE means of exchange than wannabe fiat NGU Bitcoiners waiting for Wall street to pump their bags while doing literally nothing. Hopi g the intended outcome is Bitcoin reaches the mainstream as a medium of exchange. Have you once read the news in the last 10 years? KYC and custodianship rules 99% of the people that came into Bitcoin in the last 10 years. Have you ever watched the stats from businesses, giftcard providers, shops that actually accept Bitcoin and Monero as payment? You'd be stunned. Because Monero is in an excilent position, despite BTC being 5 years way. It's simply because government seemed to big a hurdle for Bitcoin so the MoE use case was given up in favour for SoV. It's a good thing it helped the ecosystem draw in billions of worthless fiat, while Monero grew in the underground. One click away of becoming money for anybody who desires to use it to protect ones privacy andtherew also the integrity of ones family, community or business relationships.

gm. Monero is going up while no one knows about it, it's delisted from all exchanges and is not a "good investment" :cozy:

Get a display name.

Awww, cute. You didn't read anything that I said.

Bit of an exaggeration but I get your point. A money for the whole world has to work for normies. Bitcoin is made to become that money. Eventually people will get burned or get educated, etc., and switch to better custodial solutions, semi-custodial, and self-custody, all held accountable by the free market. To begin with, banks will start holding Bitcoin for you in the coming couple years (I know, disgusting). It's going to find its way EVERYWHERE. And most people in this world are extremely ignorant. That's what you get for having the most successful money at being a money. But those coins are still very hard to fake, double spend, etc. It's easy to audit the institutions that custody them. It's easy to set up federations where every family has that one bitcoiner that can set everybody up and manage the technical stuff. The technical and privacy conscious people can protect their privacy within the same unit of account via lightning, ecash, and new technologies built on Bitcoin. You underestimate the market and free banking to hold multiple competing custodial solutions accountable. But the point remains that Monero users are generally utilizing more of its privacy and self custody features, partly because those are the defaults. It specializes in privacy. It's really good for that.

You have no idea how much is being transacted. It's private. We know total number of transactions. Roughly 30k per day on a erage over the past 12 months. Representk g likely a few hundred thousand in USD daily. Bitcoin on the other hand transacted around 400k per day on avg over 12 months. Representing billions in USD. Transacted That's less than 8% not 20%. It's like you guys just make shit up to feel good about your poor life choices Wild
