I'm no shill, I don't care if you buy Monero it doesn't affect me at all really. I have an issue when people like nostr:nprofile1qqs0eac2gh86s9l24qfmnw52xawhz0f3d862yleaetpafygjmanaxlspzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7ramexg claim that Bitcoin is just as private or even more private than Monero. Its a dangerous falsehood that can land people in trouble with authorities. Bitcoin is is Bitcoin, it's a transparency coin with layers and techniques you can apply to obfuscate the transparent bits with varying degrees of tradeoffs. Monero is a rengineered Bitcoin using the transparent blockchain technology and applying multiple layers of obfuscation into each transaction, by default to a much greater degree than even a lightning transaction from a channel opened with a taproot transaction from a whole coinjoined UTXO. Also the reason I know Bitcoin and Lightning to this level is because I use it too. Specifically with Zeus on a channel opened with a UTXO I got from Retoswap by swapping Monero. For low stakes stuff with small amounts like zaps, it's better than Monero because it's faster and doesn't have tax implications. Is that me making Monero my identity?
