I don't like to straw man stuff. I really try to avoid it but my experience with Monero people (fans of it at least) is that they don't really focus on economics or incentives. They don't really get game theory, or at least they don't seem to.

It could be that these people I've interacted with are just terrible at communication and logic. That is possible. But what is clear is that the main focus of Monero is privacy. This seems to me to be pointless if the system isn't secure from attack. I don't care if the network can be private but will be destroyed when it becomes worthy of attack.

But, what do I know. Maybe the project will come up with some useful things bitcoin can use. I have no desire to argue with people over it. If they wanna use it. Go for it.
