Supposed "bitcoiners" arguing AGAINST using private payment networks for kyced purchases are telling on themselves.
This was the whole point all along. This is why we #Bitcoin.
Bitcoin allows us to *make payments* without kycing yourself or using a trusted intermediary and leaving a record tying the purchase to your IRL identity,
EVEN if the *end merchant* requires ID.
But bitcoiners these days are so fucking cucked and used to the idea that their Bitcoin payments are completely transparent and tied to their IRL identity,
they think NOT revealing their IRL identity to the payment network is something fringe and noteworthy.
"Why would you want to hide your identity from the network if the merchant is requires ID?" 🤡
Get on the fucking program ffs

Big, "I'm not doing anything wrong, so I have nothing to hide" energy.
Definitely a big misunderstanding of privacy. Privacy is about being able to choose when to reveal information, not about hiding all information completely.
Yeah
I DO live in the woods.
Maybe get used to the fact that some of us live this and avoid 3rd party footprints as much as possible.
If my exchange counterparty requires identification that is a decision I can make.
But even if I decide to transact with that person, there are still good reasons to use payment network that does not require identification.
Your "fuck it, the merchant requires ID so it doesn't matter" attitude is defeatist.
You like sharing how much Bitcoin you own with people when you spend it? You want your family to do that too? Are you a fucking retard?
Why should anyone care what most people think? I care what I think. I care what my loved ones think. When have you ever seen a monero bro defer to "99% of the world"?
> There are ways to obfuscate how much bitcoin I own
You want to teach your wife and kids how to do that too and trust they won't mess up? That's retarded.
If you think Bitcoin has any hope at putting a dent in the money printing machine, then it has to be useful as money. It's failing at that in ways Monero is succeeding, and in ways Monero will always be better at.
You're delusional to ignore the above rationale and cling on to your fantasy future where Bitcoin replaces the money printing machine on its own.
Right now you're arguing that paying for KYC'd products with Monero is pointless. That's an extremely retarded thing to argue. I don't really care what your prior dispositions are.
