Yes, I've implicitly compared Bitcoin to Monero in this aritcle ( ). Monero is better digital cash by a wide margin, but it's not a silver bullet. For the current regime, privacy by default is a non-negotiable. I'd use Monero if I need digital cash, not as a store of value. Many Monero devs likely work for the government, some hardware wallets are very likely backdoored, government agents can decide to spam L1 until running nodes becomes annoying, they can make it radioactive so 99.99% of the population avoid it like the plague, etc. Still, if you need to use digital cash, Monero is your best bet. The other recommendations I've mentioned are going to be more important for most people.

Yes, that’s a great framework you offer on your articles. Thank you for taking the time to write and share it! Monero as digital cash, not store of value. Yes… makes sense as so. I can accept leaning more on trust for small amounts and daily usage. But store of value is the grand goal. This is how I imagined it going: I understand it might come as naive according to your framework, and the recent developments confirm that. So yes: Maybe I was choosing to believe a lie… but it’s hard to let go of such a beautifull dream! :) Good to have you back!
