Thought so too for a long time. I think i was delusional. BTC without privacy onchain is the most retarded idea we ever had. Would you store your value on a public transparent ledger with no privacy if the government would mandate it? Hell no. But somehow people think this fundamental flaw of BTC is a advantage. People just hodl and do not use BTC. As soon as they start using it, they see that it is a crappy medium of exchange.

Superior to Monero at what? Being an easy target for surveillance and mining censorship? Tell the darknet markets about your "first mover advantage". They must have missed it.

Bitcoiners are the right tools for the job of promoting bitcoiner to tools
