Although (because?) BusinessCat represents as a maxi tard, albeit a really smart one
and is good at presenting points in a reasonable and non-inflammatory way
this pod is a good summation of the #Bitcoin #Monero debate

and it better to argue about that than the other dumb shit on nostr this morning
Business Cat assertion that #Monero bros optimize for the wrong threats and usecases is ridiculous.
people need transactional privacy and fungibility with money.

its actually really fucking simple.
yes. Bitcoin *fails enough at privacy* that people are going to Monero.

Monero may also only exist to move the Overton window for Bitcoiners.
that's fine. we will use Bitcoin when we can have private transactions that maintain 1st principles.

Good on for calling out the confirmation bias.

(and the "if you're so interested in privacy do you run your own email server?" is regular ole horseshit and a sad argument from a supposedly intelligent person)
