No it wasn’t said explicitly you are right, my point is only that early bitcoiners were cypherpunks and cared about privacy and emphasized its importance. So to mock people that care about privacy is pretty arrogant. We don’t have to agree but it’s pretty arrogant to mock people who still care about it, given the roots of bitcoin and the people involved in its development and growth.

I think he wrote something along the lines of winning the race global money and SoV, so maybe a smidge less than perfect?
What do early Bitcoiners have to do with the current economic reality?
Im not mocking people that care about privacy. I’m mocking larps who act like monero is better money. Monero bros know it’s not better that’s why they continue stacking sats. But they shit on bitcoin as if the world will one day wake up and say “hey store of value doesn’t matter. I don’t care about purchasing power. I want privacy.” Yeah imagine that. All these retarded sheep that got doubled jabbed and wore face masks while driving alone in their cars are going to magically start giving a fuck about privacy. What’s next? They’re gonna delete Facebook and join nostr as anons? Get real.
It’s all delusional.
I love privacy tools. I respect people who pursue privacy. What I don’t respect is misinformation. Monero bros larp that monero is better money. How? You can improve bitcoin privacy. You can’t change economic reality. Bitcoin won. The market has already decided. Can that change? I don’t know the future but there is no evidence that it will. So assuming that economic reality is goin to change because you don’t like a transparent blockchain is irrational. Being “private” is not enough if no one is using your money. And that’s when it becomes a terrible medium of exchange. When you can’t find anyone to trade with, what will you do? Monero isn’t even second place in adoption among shitcoins. What’s going to make monero compete with gold, dollars, tether, euros, etc? L
I’m not mocking them. Instead pointing out the reality that the vast majority of people simply don’t care about privacy. So monero’s killer feature is and will remain in very low demand.
