Bitcoin doesn' have privacy? Bro, it's just a pubkey. It will be as private as you can make it.

Privacy is not a feature you get with your shiny apps. It's something you attain through good opsec.

I can give you the most private phone In the world and you can take a selfie with it and dox yourself in an instant.

Is monero better at privacy? Maybe. But you have to be better with it as well, if not, it doesn't matter.

Everyone needs to be better at privacy. But no one is going to hand it to you and you can easily screw up even if they do. You have to do the hard work and understand it yourself. If you don't do it you're just LARPing.

I've been trying to understand privacy and encryption for some time now, and the best lesson I've learnt is:

Don't trust, Verify.
