After almost a year of tinkering with Monero, achieving privacy on Bitcoin feels rudimentary and expensive.
Monero is a tool you should have in your toolbox to fight this shitty system.
As things stand, for me, Monero is better than Lightning for receiving and sending everyday payments, while Bitcoin serves as a long-term savings account.
On the other hand, running a Monero node feels cumbersome compared to Bitcoin Core—Bitcoin Core’s P2P network stack is on a whole other level.
