No we bash Bitcoins lack of privacy and culture of state compliance. We criticise and correct any inaccuracies regarding Monero and Bitcoin. We don't try to convince you to buy Monero, at least I don't. Go on my profile and find me ANY note I've made telling someone to buy. Only time I mention buying is to say to NOT buy and instead to USE Monero. Your obsession with buying crypto is a projection from your Bitcoin maxi mindset. It's not about the money.

Claims that lightning or coinjoin privacy is comparable or even superior to Monero. This requires a longer thesis that gets into the weeds of chain analysis and network level privacy, but is a laughable claim. I'll link a previous note of mine if you're interested. Claims that Bitcoin is more useful when usage stats show that the free market finds Monero more useful by... using it more often. I just wrote a note about this. I'll link if you're interested. Claims that Monero is somehow at higher risk, or even guaranteed risk, of an inflation bug by utilizing Petersen commitment and Bulletproofs++ ZK proofs to hide transaction amounts. The risk is binary, either the math is sound or it isn't. Simple addition is no more sound than the most fringe Mathematics insofar as the mathematical proof is sound. That's how math works, it has guarantees of certainty because it functions outside of material physics. Also, just like Bitcoin, supply is verified by every node on a per transaction basis. The claim that Monero's tail emission means "unlimited inflation". No its got a limit, 0.6XMR per block which is about 0.6% supply increase per year with today's supply, slowly reaching 0%. This ensures perpetual mining rewards ensuring low fees and security at the cost of a supply increase rate almost 3 times less than gold. Bitcoin has had a tail emission proposed many times as a means to avoid the fee economy security crisis it gets closer to each halving, but no dice. This also is ignoring lost keys which make the total supply likely deflationary. That's the most of it, I'll let you know if I come across or think of another.

I agree with everything you said.I think the problem arises when people don't read whitepapers.

Yes, true. Whitepapers/cryptographic knowledge + real world usage statistics paint a more complete picture.

satoshi clearly highlighted the privacy risks of Bitcoin.Monero clearly highlights its privacy advantages.the deeper questions are:"Other than privacy, what makes monero useful or valuable?"and"Other than scarcity, network effect and sound monetary policy, what makes Bitcoin useful or valuable?"and many others....I am sure there would be alot of cross overBitcoin is becoming "GLOBAL BASE MONEY" - monetary immutability.Monero is becoming privacy integrity + decentralization integrity.Can I like both of them? Is that ok with everyone?

Yeah other than privacy, Monero's combination of faster block times, adaptive block sizes and tail emission make it a superior medium of exchange by ensuring faster finality and lower fees on L1 than Bitcoin in perpetuity. RandomX mining ensures a more egalitarian mining environment where the most efficient and profitable miners are gaming PCs that millions already have. Those two aspects are a big adds that go beyond superior privacy all amounting to an extremely resilient coin to regulatory and corporate capture. Bitcoin is superior if you desire a transparent chain and assurance of a hard cap. I find these to be downsides as I value medium of exchange most and am willing to compromise on the hard cap and block dynamics for this. I disagree that Bitcoin is becoming or will become global base money. I'd bet everything that that will be CBDCs or stablecoins as backdoor CBDCs. You cannot bet on the state reducing their primary power source, that'd be foolish in my opinion. You can certainly like both, almost allMonero users also use Bitcoin, me included.

IMHO, from the outside looking in, I think this is where the disconnect comes from and why bitcoin and monero users can’t really agree on anything, there are two different paradigms at play.From what I understand, monero users transact with it on a daily basis, replacing fiat with a more secure and privacy oriented currency.Bitcoin, at least for me, is less about privacy because I am not spending any, it’s about freedom and the ability to invest it until the day comes when my government finally decides to screw me. My retirement funds, if you will.I imagine this is how a lot of bitcoiners feel which is why monero doesn’t really appeal to them, or they get a sense that somehow Bitcoin is better because it aligns more with their interests.

Yeah I completely agree that usage is a core difference between the communities. That's quite a succinct way of putting it too, well said. I posit one question for you: of what value is Bitcoin if it isn't used to transact?
