As always Monero provides the answer the Bitcoiner is seeking. It's far from being perfect. We know that. But many things are not possoble with Monero or much harder to achieve e.g. censoring the chain. There are not just 2-3 ASIC producers but widely accessible and distributed CPUs. Monero is mined via P2P pool, via botnets (that try to hide instead of complying with states), by adversaries that try to get an edge over the network and a few bigger "home" miners. It's attack surface is much smaller. And last but not least, Monero is not depended on CEX, no one needs insurance for a home miner setup. I'd say the dependence on CEX and the control of big miner plants are both easy attack vectors. Yes Bitcoin hashrate is meaningless. it's only not fully attacked because US aligned its interests behind BTC/Tether vs Monero.

I know Monero solves a lot of Bitcoin's problems and has its own problems. I already did some research on it. The main problem Monero has is the vast majority of the population doesn't care about the problems that it solves. You could make the case that they'll care eventually, but the Controllers would have to make quite a few mistakes for that to happen.
