I am beginning to see a massive uptick in the concept of the importance of privacy the greater btc community and particularly newer Bitcoin community swelling up.

And along with that, a lot of concern around the lack of cypherpunk idealism in Bitcoin anymore.

A lot of people on social media have been pointing to links such as this.  It was even posted by this hyper-maxi BTC core developer who has been working on the cashu protocol.  He has definitely toed the maxi line when it comes to saying mean things about altcoins and frankly the people that do that are almost always right.

He has been working on a Bitcoin Layer 2 protocol extension that has its greatest benefit, fantastic privacy, While, at its core design, yet it requires trusted third parties. At some point, the dissonance has to become more clear.

I think the reason that many of us ever came to Monero in the first place is because we saw that it offered something extremely valuable that would be either impossible or very difficult on Bitcoin.

And now I see the beginnings of the rumblings of the masses realizing that Bitcoin does have certain trade-offs that make using it in particular ways difficult or even risky.

So, if some of the masses begin to understand this and they can figure out how to buy Monero in this world where it's been de-listed from so many places, I could see a price spike at the very least.
