In my opinion, the base layer money should NOT be the latest and greatest state of the art and should not be regularly upgraded. When you update systems you tend to include bugs and increase the attack surface. I think the best is to scale in layers, I’m 100% pro privacy, but not in base layer. Let’s scale like the internet did in layers. That’s how we keep a stable reliable money (Bitcoin), and still add innovations and privacy and fast payments and everything in layers on top.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
In my experience until now, I can easily just download muun wallet on my phone fund it with some real bitcoin and start spending using lightning immediately.
So the usability case is not a problem for me at all. Also I don’t think it’s true that you need the other party to be online to receive a payment, I never saw that mentioned anywhere.
As for the security and privacy, it always depends on your threat landscape, I’m not so worried for the ultimate security and privacy as I’m not doing anything illegal. So we always need to compromise between security and usability according to our situation.
But anyway, how do you use monero? Do you buy it directly using fiat? Do you buy bitcoin and exchange it to monero? And after you are done with your private transactions do you convert back to bitcoin, fiat or you keep holding monero? I would like to ask you if you believe that you lose security and privacy at this stage when exchanging back and forth with monero.
Thank you

Why don’t you use Lightning instead?
Save in #bitcoin and have a separate #lightning wallet which you use for payments. Lightning is instant, almost zero fees, more anonymous than btc. Why use monero? Monero has nice tech but what are you going to do with it? Are you going to transfer the money back to btc? And just use it as a tool? Why would it gain significant value as a currency, I just don’t see it.

Great! But why he said that the block took 2 mins to process? Aren’t they supposed to last 10 mins each?
