Sure, it might be finite, but you don't know how many more bugs are in there. It's the uncertainty that kills it. You can never know if you fixed all the bugs. When you have a choice between storing your life savings in one vs the other, you'll always choose the more certain one.

People DON'T decide to use something or not simply on the axis of It's complexity and whether they think it might have hidden exploits. Maybe it should play a *larger factor into their decision, (Like if you want to be intellectually consistent, you should also avoid lightning completely) But they decide to use something or not largely on whether it solves a problem that they have. If that problem is "where do I store my life savings?" I can understand why you would choose something else besides Monero.

Also huge is that there were zero legitimate businesses on Liquid. Nobody was ever doing anything substantial with it. It was just a quasi custodial way to sit on a hoard of 4k Bitcoin with no fucking purpose, and grift VC money convincing people that it was going to lead to viable business in the future. In contrast, Monero is a driver of a ton of commerce. It has more daily transactions per billion of market cap than any other top 20 coin. People are watching Monero. I am watching Monero and doing non-cached, live supply verifications as blocks come in because it is the cornerstone of my net worth. Liquid had nobody whose eyeballs mattered because it was a useless maxi scam, much like ColdCard. Everything this entire clique produces and promotes causes people to lose massive amounts of money because they are all useless, subhuman parasites and scammers. The best thing Bitcoiners could do to revitalize Bitcoin is start putting bullets in their heads in retaliation.
