I love bitcoin, however i see privacy as the #1 concern going forward.

Monero is quietly gaining lots of adoption on websites, services, exchanges, dark net markets etc.

Most of the truth & freedom movement appear to recommend it over Bitcoin.

Node count has passed BTC and mining hash rate is growing rapidly as you don't need an Asics, just your PC.

To me it seems Monero is something that should not be ignored.

Also scaling is another issue, Bitcoin fees are 1000x Monero fees.

There's no reason why you can't Coinjoin/Lightning your UTXO's in conjunction with Monero - it's a good privacy tool and supplement to Bitcoin IMO.

Thoughts please. I want some honest opinions here.

Privacy network simply gives better edge compared to Bitcoin network. I don't consider the Monero a network that has much traction because people are silent about it. The reason for the silence is not becuase people don't care but they have little or no information about transactions that goes on in there.

In no distant time, I believe that privacy netowrks like monero will gain traction and still leave its users safe and secure as the transactions can not be mirrored like it is through the Bitcoin network.

This will also make projects migrate to privacy chains and another wave of boom will emerge for them.
