I can only say that monero based on it's market cap is no threat to BTC. It serves another purpose. Monero focus on privacy. Honestly. 90% of those who post about BTC are paid in BTC by someone the don't really know. They just have to influence and post some Surfing pics and promote BTC. @Telluride is the same he don't even know why he is posting the shit he is posting. He probably belongs to the 10% that don't even get paid.

Lol you're talking about ZCash. Monero is private by default, the whole market cap is private making it the largest anonymity set in cryptocurrency by market cap. It never was optionally private. Lightning has only good privacy when you run your own node behind onion connections, if you're not doing that you're trusting your LSP (ACINQ in the case of Phoenix or Olympus with Zeus) or you're trusting your custodian like in Wallet of Satoshi. ECash has gold privacy but has a big custodial risk and no recourse if funds are stolen or lost making it insecure for large amounts. Xmrbazaar.com for proof of real world usage.
