For the sake of the discussion, o_e_l_e_o has helped people care about their privacy and improve it more than anyone I know of in this board. He always seems to distinguish misinformation and cares to share his thoughts in a simple, yet comprehensible and constructive manner.

It really is one of the worst accusations one can make in this board. He is a treasure for bitcointalk, and for Bitcoin as a whole.

The problem is that o_e_l_e_o's claim that Monero's privacy is good is attached to a false claim that privacy from WabiSabi coinjoins is bad.
No, it is not. They are two facts on their own.

- Yes, Monero's private is good, everyone should consider using that, and if they don't, then you can still retain your Bitcoin privacy by swapping your BTC with XMR back and forth.
- Yes, privacy from Wasabi coinjoins appears to be questionable, because there are lots of instances of people claiming they were de-anonymized, and there are crystal clear signs of address reuse.
