i like monero and can see its merits but this propaganda does not help it imo. monero is still deeply flawed in terms of privacy, just like its alternatives, and it's all a matter of tradeoffs. monero has been deanonymized in the past (pre-rct txs) and will be deanonymized in the future, even if only on Q-day. people should always consider this before making and decide based on their threat model. are they ok with their transactions being public and transparent 30 years from now? 20? 10? i personally think offchain monero transactions are the endgame for privacy (see opendime and others), but see no effort or demand towards that goal.
anyways if i am talking out of my ass and completely mistaken i'd love to be corrected (cunningham's law).
