did she explain how Bitcoins complete lack of privacy helps empower the oppressed?
Oh, wow! I love rainbows! More ppl should use them everywhere LOL
If you’re using Lightning, Liquid or non KYC bitcoin you have privacy.
Great!
Let me make a bunch of censorship resistant purchases from my Wallet of Satoshi!
(please don't actually do this. it's not private)
Almost noone you are recommending LN, Liquid or Bitcoin to will be able to use use it in a privacy preserving way.
Doing this needs time, knowledge, dedication and financial incentive.
We are talking about oppressive regimes here.
Your recommendation are dangerous. At best they will get people who don't know what they do into trouble. At worst they get thrown into jail or killed.
Monero is far from being perfect, but it is made for an adversarial environment.
Stop giving bad advice to people that depend on the best tools for the job.
liquid only conceals the asset name (for the two people in the universe who use altcoins on liquid (oh wait L-BTC is also an altcoin I forgot haha)) and the quantity being transferred
By the way. It seems you are using Alby (a custodian) that just rugged its clients with zero privacy benefits.
Are you sure you are the right person to offer advice?
Exactly
