For me it was trying to use bitcoin privately, p2p exchanges, coin control, whirlpool, thinking there must be an easier way… then Samourai arrests. At some point you realize it isn’t a shitcoin as it has a real (and important) use case.

Exactly that.

When you take into account the supposed paradigm shift within Bitcoin, it paints a scary reality of totalitarian control and surveillance, the intellectual backflips and steps you have to do in order to be truly private are beyond reasonable, and with the sentiment and division we currently see, it raised alarm bells for me personally.

Yea agree

One of the best things nostr has done for Bitcoin is to help Bitcoiners find monero. Without all the maxi influencer noise, just everyday plebs sharing knowledge and a basic web of trust, I saw the case for monero as a stronger argument.
