Monero should be seen as good for Bitcoin, as it is the only thing that restores fungibility to on-chain Bitcoin via atomic swaps. As long as Core refuses to implement any mechanism that makes Bitcoin fungible (which is a requirement for it to ever be money), it is dependent upon Monero to even have a fascimile to it.

If it used the same elliptical curve I think I'd have implemented it already yesterday.

Bitcoin’s “private” tricks are just thin masks—its ledger is still fully visible, so true anonymity never really happens. Monero actually hides the sender, receiver, and amount, so it competes by actually delivering privacy, not by pretending to.

The answer is more philosophical than practical

I think ultimately yes, you are correct. I still would like to see privacy be taken seriously on Bitcoin though even if it's a lesser privacy than Monero. I don't think it will happen though.

monero IS bitcoin philosophically anyway

Because monero is superior to Bitcoin in every way.

Careful it's all retarded Bitcoin maxis faggots on here waiting to give you a lecture on the different cultural interpretations of the word 'fag'.

lol

Because it uses shitcoin as a token instead of bitcoin. If one would be able to send sats over the network, I would see it as a compliment
