i trust myself to use #btc privately but it's not easy, everything must be done just right. most people buy kyc coin from exchanges, use it on-chain in a non-private way and shoot themselves in the foot, exposing themselves and their finances on a permanent record (the blockchain).

bitcoin is awesome but the way most people use it is not "freedom money" or "private". it needs a 2nd layer to be more fungible and private.

tbh it's disturbing how many people hear these buzzwords and get into bitcoin in a non-privacy preserving way. they have no idea how much chain analysis heuristics can reveal about you and your finances.

fiat would would not only be more private, but less dangerous the way most people use #btc.

monero on the other hand is privacy at a protocol level. you get the same privacy guarantees no matter which wallet you use. i recommend most people use monero.

i love bitcoin, and i highly encourage people to study it and learn how to stack it and use it in a private way, but the truth is, it's a privacy nightmare by default.

just ask the canadian "freedom convoy".
