This is what I mean when I talk about unproductive exchanges. I just don't understand the vitriolic attitudes between Bitcoin and Monero users. They both have tradeoffs. The technical aspects of Monero is not within my lane, but I could see it as a user back when I was. Bitcoin has some too, which is why I'm a proponent of other "layers" for lack of a better term. Tools, whatever. I'd feel dirty if I used Ethereum. I wouldn't if I used Monero. That's all I need to know as far as what's a shit coin and what isn't. And honestly, as tools get better, I can see myself using both side by side to some extent if the conditions make sense.

I think part of the problem is that this stuff is a religious/ego issue for some people. They conflate who they are with a computer software and that can lead to these sorts of interactions, I think. Ad homs in place of reasoned positions. Alas, I'm as guilty as anyone of poorly communicating at times. I just hate to see it and wonder where it all comes from when we seem so closely aligned otherwise.
