I don't have strong feelings about monero but I think some bitcoiners are just worried something else will take it over if they don't try to will it in a different direction. For me, if something better comes a long that is demonstrably winning I'll simply put my purchasing power there, why wouldn't any reasoning bitcoiner do the same? We just want good money. Anyone who cites Thiers' law in support of bitcoin but would refuse to adopt a hypothetical better money needs to check and adjust their priors.

you are a reasonable person John ❤️ but most of these maxis particularly the ones who had to deal will 2017 ICO shitcoin boom, have taken refuge in prejudice and dogma. i think it comes back to what is "winning"? and how does it look? i contest the general narrative USD denominated price appreciation alone is "winning" but that metric is convenient for those who aren't interested in the complexities and just want to shitpost and circle jerk.

Can you tell me the supply cap of monero?

monero emits .6 XMR per block in perpetuity. thats an annual supply inflation of .8%. can you tell me why gold failed as a SoV?
