Man there are a lot of notes to include. tbh your list is essentially just cherry picked stuff that you care to talk about. what about transaction amounts? I can send any amount I want on Monero. Ln I'm confined by the channel sizes on the route to my destination. what about assurance? because Monero is an l1 it's designed to function in the open. with ln I don't know if my protection is broken because the routing nodes are colluding to share information. and about a thousand other things too. I think your intention here is good, but making a list like this is more the subject of an essay, rather than a short nostr post. we can and should compare these two tools, but because they're not of the same category of thing it isn't easy. and I do think the phrasing around mining and " unlimited supply " is misleading.

I completely agree with you on the first two points you mentioned, but I completely disagree with the last two. But for me, this war is over. Everyone will have different opinions, and I don't want to waste time with technical discussions, otherwise we'll be back to square one. Toxic maximalism has been useful. There are more than 30 million shitcoins listed on CoinMarketCap, and maximalism has protected us from this. However, I also admit that we were wrong about Monero. This is not something I haven't known for a long time. I have dedicated my entire life to privacy and have collaborated on many privacy projects, but in my case, I have taken the war to a personal level, as many people at Monero have done by criticizing Bitcoin, and that has obviously been a mistake. Monero's figures in the dark markets over the last year are one of the things that have made me reconsider ending this war on my part and also FCMP++. I cannot be more honest. We need each other. I have nothing against the Monero community. I think it's perfectly legitimate for people to want to use only Bitcoin, only Monero, or both, although I believe that the latter is the most useful in practice.
I'm not sure what the "last two" points you referring to. and your journey to Monero has been obvious for a long time. not sure what the bulk of that reply is about, seems like a you thing.
