I'm unwilling to lose the Monero community as allies just because I prefer Bitcoin. I don't need to agree with them on everything, nor do I need to use it at all if I really don't want to. I think there's value in keeping an open line of communication. HFSP doesn't really do that. I'm here for freedom go up AND wealth go up. I won't apologize. But I don't see a benefit in alienating a community of people who agree with me on more issues than not. Such relationships can be mutually beneficial. I've openly adopted the same tactic for gold bugs. I try to meet people where they are and encourage the hell out of gold adoption if someone tells me that's a fiat exit they're comfortable with. After all, I was 50/50 gold and Bitcoin before I went Bitcoin only. I held Monero and shit coins before that (I actually don't consider Monero a shit coin - that's unfair, jokes aside).

More power to you - the uniting voices. As an early Bitcoiner I love all you who woke up and still wake up and change your life. That's why I don't want you to become cannon fodder in the war ahead. Hence why I encourage Bitcoiners to look into Monero to use it. Like you care for me and my purchasing power. You know what. You can use both. Each for the job it is made for.

I'm not in the business of telling "anyone" what to do. I don't use Monero anymore, but I don't really care if anyone does. People should use whichever tool they feel is the best for whatever they are trying to do. For some people, that's Monero. If someone asks my opinion, then I'll gladly share what I do or think, but I see no value in alienating people simply because they use an additional tool that I don't. It's dumb and senseless, especially if they are good faith companions. Obviously there are trolls and bad actors in every community. But I think most are not. We can share ideas without alienating one another.

The main lesson should be that we simply can't have every benefit in any tool. It isnt possible right now. That's why I'm less inclined to alienate people simply because they use different tools than me. And it isnt like a Bitcoiner can't use Monero ever. Nor does one need to give up custody of their entire stack to use ecash or whatever. People draw strict lines and I don't see the benefit of it. Ideally, we will end up with many tools that are easy to switch between for different purposes.
