First off thank you for actually addressing some key issues instead of being a blind shill. For the record I’ve never said Monero has zero value. I think it’s the only alt coin that has any value at all. That said it’s cringe that Monero people are acting as if bitcoin and lighting are not adapting or moving forward at all. Are you aware of Bolt12? If so: What are its implications?
Lightning solves half the problem of privacy with superb sender privacy. Full stop. Monero shills refuse to accept this. Now let me address your criticism:
>all your lightning infra can be compromised
Isn’t that the case for all computer systems? You don’t think that can happen with your Monero node/wallet? I’ve taken every precaution I know of. I stay NKYC I fly below the radar and I use dedicated hardware with open source code I audited from people I know IRL and verified the checksum. I’ve recovered my node multiple times with no hiccups. If I get owned by alphabet people I get owned lol. The same goes for you on Monero.
>the anon set isn’t big enough
This wasn’t yours but this was someone else’s criticism. I promise the anon set on lightning is at least as good if not better than monero’s and that will intensify with the upcoming bullrun.
My position the entire time hasn’t been bitcoin is more private than Monero today. It consciously made other trade offs that make it a superior money. There are developments happening today that are moving privacy forward and it’s foolish to just ignore those. That’s why I think Monero will eventually go to zero against bitcoin.
