Repeated posts state “people use Bitcoin for saving and Monero for spending.” Documents repeat: maximalist Bitcoiners only save and don’t spend; on sites accepting both (and Lightning) “Monero takes the entire market.” Author repeats holding Bitcoin while criticizing bias and urges accepting this pattern.

"The height of stupidity is people who claim to be Bitcoin maximalists, who get angry with you for criticizing Bitcoin’s privacy and tell you to use Lightning, but are so stupid that they leave enough clues on the internet to lead right to their front door. It’s ridiculous. You’re going to need a lot of luck in the future."
I'm not going to marry anyone, and I'm not going to kiss anyone's ass. I say what I think, whether others like it or not.

Well this has taken a turn. You pair were all lovey dovey a few weeks ago. Quote posting each other, slapping each others backs etc😂😂.

"How can we support your work anonymously ? What's your Monero address?"
Thanks to lightning we now have a layer to make transactions that never make it onchain (i.e. lightning transactions don't show up on a globally replicated ledger that can be cracked or traced 10 years from now...). With lightning it requires you to use a bit different approach and be smart about wallets you use, but the privacy can be better. This really depends on your risk profile though - if you are running a set up at the level of DNM bible, then it actually doesn't matter much whether you use bitcoin or not.
"Basically, what’s happening is that people use Bitcoin for saving and Monero for spending. And maximalist Bitcoiners only save in Bitcoin and don’t spend it. You can see this pattern over and over again on any website that accepts both currencies and Lightning: Monero takes the entire market. Reality is what it is, and you can’t change it—so you might as well accept reality and try to solve the problem. It’s funny how some people accuse me of siding with Monero when the reality is that I’ve got all my eggs in the Bitcoin basket. But humans are biased, and few are capable of criticizing themselves and what they support. I have that ability, and I don’t expect you to understand it."

Hopefully it should work now. Thanks.

I was responding to @Dr._Bruce_Banner who said that "lightning is not bitcoin."

I am also aware 🤙😂
"And why do you have your eggs in Bitcoin if you criticize its privacy? It’s simple: only Bitcoin can withstand a 51% state-sponsored attack, basically because it’s completely unfeasible for a state to amass that much hash power. But that’s what many of you don’t understand—I’m rational. So I’m caught between two worlds, where I’ll be criticized by both, but it doesn’t matter—life isn’t about pleasing strangers; it’s about yourself, defending your own, and having the tools to protect them. I’m all about pragmatism, not sectarianism. nostr:nevent1qqs9489dfl5y2v3qltaeua6yes86hpur2lqtdq2wl78ejygfds85p7szyr70wzj9e75p064gzwum4z3ht4cn6vtf7j3870w2c02fzyklvlfhuqcyqqqqqqgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet50lp940"
Just stay in Monero. The 51% attack was muuh, more FUD as anything else. Main concerns were the chain re-orgs. We saw that with BTC few weeks back as well.
