Sadly getting overrun by the general population is probably the real reason so many continue to insist on Monero. The security is worse than Lightning but they live in denial about that. What they do genuinely have over Bitcoin is 0 normies. I'm not going to stop using the internet because normies got on and use it in normy ways. I think that reflex is a glitch in human thinking. I just carry on using the internet in my way. Bitcoin is the same for me. Node runners, no KYC, p2p, is my way to use bitcoin and it is still available to me. I'm not going to stop because someone else bought the ETF.

curious what about LN "security" is superior to monero? but basically you're right on. Bitcoin now operates in normiespace and has lost the cypherpunk ethos. it won't turn out well.
