Okay, but if you’re using Monero, you’re still either using fiat on-ramps (just like Bitcoin) or you’re doing P2P. If you keep your Monero or Bitcoin segregated P2P, it’s essentially the same. Big brother is still tracking almost all you do, where you go etc. unless you are *highly* sophisticated. If you’re that sophisticated, you can learn to Coinjoin, use lighting etc. Average people don’t sleep good at night being criminals no matter what coin they’re using.
Monero is a false sense of security. They’ll come for the Monero people too and catch most of them.
Our best bet is to hold something that can keep us out of the poorhouse while the dollar denominated fiat ship goes down. If it gets bad, who cares if crap is KYC’d? Or maybe governments adopt the best money out there and we immigrate to places that value our economic value and allow us some freedoms.
We can dream of the perfectly sound lightsaber currency but that doesn’t exist. I’m just tired of this shilling of an inferior technology, confusing new people and scaring them away from Bitcoin because it’s not perfect.
