The 6.6× claim is manufactured by dividing transaction counts by an arbitrary $1B slice of market cap, a valuation metric that has no linear relationship to network usage, while the transaction and market-cap figures shown don’t even reproduce the advertised ratios from a clearly defined common snapshot.
Besides, transaction batching and lightning payments are convenienly ignored. This does not does not even merit a response but I had a fee free minutes. While I think highly of monero as a freedom tech, cheap shots like this only makes monero bros look desperate and does not do any good to the monero network.
