But are those key features essentially available on other Bitcoin layers?
It's apparent that Monero packs more features onto a single layer, at a cost.
But is there a transactional privacy benefit that Monero offers that can't be achieved using Bitcoin AND Bitcoin compatible technology (regardless of custody or UX)?
The only claim I've seen that can't be had on Bitcoin is a private wallet balance at rest on chain.
What am I missing as a noob on this topic?
