but yeah tetsu doesn't have to if their bias won't let them. no skin off my back. fact: monero is more fungible. there is no need for a 2nd layer. and it would be a perfect sidechain for btc (ala liquid)

i can't hear you, your bias is too loud. pointing to a chart with no context is not a rebuttal to my post tetsu. also, what is this chart? monero is used more often and by more merchants than #2 (by easily manipulatable market cap) eth. what exactly is your nuanced argument and what's with the graph...specifically? here is monero, all time. source: coinbase https://image.nostr.build/573167430d26f67970c3dcf978121b0ed622fa3936c4aa4f7e42919f9387c553.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=720x1613&blurhash=%5B1S%3FDV00o%7E%252%3DqkCo%23-pAdIUsSxuKQI9R4R*%25%25Mx8_x%5DQ%2C%3FHbbInU%5E_3yDD%25%5EN%3Fbo%7DIn%3Fd%3FHRjV%40&x=c0265f8fdfb4085544c46da9008e0f158626fd6cdea53e80404a6f9c387d5bd7

There is a key difference, there is 1-1 L-BTC to BTC which means L-BTC only exists with BTC. With monero it would be just a bridge to swap, which in fact would be selling BTC for Monero.
