It never fails. Every monero bro I asked this far has gotten angry. They have this weird desire to be superior to bitcoiners. Smarter and more moral. They claim that all payments need to be private but they can't admit that they make non private payments all the time. The most important payments they make are not private. It's strange. But that's what nostr:npub1an6xs9jt6apmw45rmvu8pnspewdp6juwcgp76fk72ruky4dmcadqwfze63 meant when he said most payments don't need to be private. Privacy is great. I am constantly looking for new ways to improve my privacy. But most people will never care about it. That's just a fact. No amount of crying or virtue signaling is going to change that. And as long as that is true, bitcoin is the superior money that will win. So the rational conclusion would be to pick the better money and practice privacy with that (i.e. bitcoin).

ive had this conversation with him and didn't get upset like you say, everybody needs dollars dude just wants to argue

I understand your preference for Bitcoin. I just find its too risky, expensive (TX and swap fees) and labor intensive to maintain a similar level of privacy that Monero gives you by default thus I prefer Monero. I believe defaults are important and value privacy highly thus the more private by default currency is superior to me. I understand that you disagree since your priorities are different. We're different people so it's logical that we're not going to see eye to eye on everything.
