I always find it funny when retarded Bitcoin maximalists take your points about Monero seriously. Your logic is probably the most hilarious set of mental gymnastics of anyone. Anyone who spends 3 seconds actually reasoning through what you're saying recognizes your retarded gymnastics.

"It tells you the recipient's one-time pubkey (which isn't really one-time...)" ... yes, it is one-time. That's how privacy protocols like Signal and silent payments work.

"It tells you ring signatures" ... yes, it does.

"It tells you fee amounts" ... 🤣🤣 so what?

"It tells you the time of each tx" ... as opposed to payments routed around the LN through major hubs collecting txs.

"It tells you encrypted blobs that senders sometimes decrypt" ... ooooh Signal bad because someone with a private key can decrypt their own messages they sent to someone. As opposed to lightning where you send amounts in plaintext through a counterparty to other 3rd parties to eventually route it to your intended recipient.

"and it logs every tx in such a way that if police ever get the perp's private keys (which can't be safely deleted), they can easily trace everything" ... if police ever get access to the major liquidity hubs on lightning, which are largely run by corporations the police can and probably are already accessing, they can easily trace everything. The onion routing privacy model over public networks is demonstrably weak in Tor. Tor has had decades to get it right focusing JUST on privacy, and everyone still knows the exit nodes are mostly probably run by the government. It's a provably worse model in practice.

You do a good job creating a veneer of logic against Monero for retarded maxis to cling onto and feel better about their bags.
