Bitcoin was supposed to be censorship resistant peer to peer digital cash. That was the original pitch. Now it feels like most of the culture has turned into "buy, hold, and hope someone pays more later." If the only real utility is "number go up," then you have not built money. You have built a weird decentralized Ponzi game.
And the censorship resistance is overrated in practice. Sure Bitcoin itself cannot freeze your coins but exchanges can blacklist addresses, freeze deposits, and treat your coins as suspicious because of some history you had no control over. You might not even know there is a problem until you try to use them.
That is why Monero is better. People actually use it like money. They build things around it. They spend it. It works much closer to what crypto was supposed to be in the first place.
Bitcoiners love saying "1 BTC = 1 BTC," but that is not really true. Some Bitcoin can be considered clean, some can be considered tainted, and that makes it risky to spend or accept.
Monero is the only major crypto where "1 = 1" actually means something. It is private by default, fungible by default, and much better suited for real commerce. Bitcoin may have started the movement, but Monero is closer to the original idea.
