If Monero and bitcoin were the same market cap, no one would give a fuck about bitcoin
Extortion is the practice of obtaining benefit (e.g., money, goods, or regular payments) from an individual or group through coercion, usually by threatening them with future psychological or physical harm
extortion is illegal and immoral
why do most people pay ?
government is not the solution
government is the problem

Bitcoin hasn't been minable from your PC since 2013. Monero still is. And that's not an accident. ๐
They changed their mining algorithm multiple times. On purpose.
Every time a manufacturer released an ASIC to mine XMR, the community forked and made it useless. Machines worth thousands of dollars turned into desk decorations overnight.
The logic is simple โ ASICs concentrate all the mining power between a few big players. And a "decentralized" network controlled by 3 factories is only decentralized on paper.
Today their algo is called RandomX, built so that any regular CPU stays competitive. Your old laptop can mine Monero.
๐น Bitcoin chose security through capital. Whoever invests the most mines the most.
๐น Monero chose security through numbers. Anyone can participate.
Two completely opposite visions. And yet Monero is the one that looks the most like what Satoshi described in the whitepaper.
