Yet, you still use gas to trip and ethanol to go near by, diesel to utility trucks. Yet, you use checks for one thing, wire for another, credit on other, debit to other and physical dollars to other. Bitcoin is NOT good for privacy. Bitcoin is good for proving that you bought something, as a house or a car, and that can be good to prevent scam. Monero, on the other side, is good for not showing that you bought something, as forbidden stuff, and really bad in proving it or getting the scammer that received. Monero could actually be the only one ultimate bitcoin mixer for not showing which wallet is yours by helping us into buying btc anonymously.

Checks, debit, cash, & bank wires are like #lightning, #liquid, ecash, & other Bitcoin scaling layers. The layers are good for privacy. There is no reason to use a different monetary token & deal with exchange costs & risks & lack of acceptance.

Being private AND offchain is definitely ideal for privacy. That is true. Monero gets L2s with FCMP++ in a year or so. "There is no reason to use a different monetary token & deal with exchange costs & risks & lack of acceptance." What? You deal with exchange costs and risks in lightning, liquid, and ecash too. You also deal with the additional cost of force closure fees in lightning, and rug risk with ecash. Liquid rug is also possible too just much less likely (privacy sucks though. doesn't hide sender/receiver and abysmal anon set).
