No, I'm trying to understand why so many bitcoiners are in denial. The blockchain is public. It offers little or no privacy. Its taxable when cashging, and every transaction nearly always gets converted to fiat when it is spent. You might as well use paypal. And while I prefer Monero I also think the public largely hates all crypto, and nostr is failing to attract users because crypto is turning them off. Crypto is also just too complex for most people, and L2 is not helping , making it worse, and even more centralized with KYC apps like WoS as the only viable way to send sats without self hosting nodes, which even bicoin fanboys struggle to do.
