Targeted mining censorship is possible on Bitcoin, not possible on Monero
Large consolidated ASIC mining farms are also easier to take down or co-opt by the state VS ubiquity of Monero mining
Over half Bitcoins hashpower now requires KYC
Everyone knows what you're doing with that ASIC miner you bought
Heat, noise, and energy draw of ASICs don't help either
"Police raid a concealed #Bitcoin mining operation, initially mistaking it for an illegal marijuana farm due to the heat signature"
