I was trying to comapre network activity between the two, let me try agian. So, you can go ahead and swim in your tiny pond (xmr) that only a few people really understand how to use in a private manner or go and swim in an ocean (btc), where a cohort of people are buying non-kyc sats or using tools like joinmarket to improve privacy for the network as a whole.

What I am getting at:

If xmr is used by less people than btc, I am pretty sure it is like wearing a sign on your back that says kick me. Especially for noobs, who sign up to binance and purchase xmr (since it is marketed as privacy coin), because they want to buy drugs online. To calrify, I am not saying you can use btc to do this. In fact, if you want to engage in "funny businness", then do not use anything that touches the internet.

Final thoughts, I just find xmr to be a slippery slope for the average person and that's why I'd recommend to get lost in an ocean, rather than swim in a tiny pond. So congrats to the folks, who are swimming in the ocean, and bought non-kyc sats. You probably will not slip down a slope and can use your sats to buy coffee or donate to fundraisers online. However, you are far safer from the 5 dollar wrench attack if you coin join on wasabiou are far safer from the 5-dollar wrench attack, especially if you coin join on wasabi, samurai or joinmarket from time to time.
