It seems like these days bitcoin functions more as a digital commodity rather than actual money people are using (hodl, price charts, NGU, etc...) so I agree it is way more normie and regulatory friendly. I don't think Bitcoin is going anywhere, but I wouldn't discount the Streisand effect of Monero being delisted and banned everywhere. Monero is pretty much in it's own domain entirely.

quoting note1nl2…ggu3

"While Bitcoin charts a course through institutional adoption and mainstream acceptance,
Monero maintains its focus on the fundamental cypherpunk principle of privacy."

This random Forbes contributor gets it better than most "bitcoiners"
