What are the false narratives?
Any contrast to Bitcoin, whether that its more private, a "true" digital cash vs. a speculative vehicle, more utilitarian, more ethical...
It has to justify its existence by comparing itself to the standard which is Bitcoin, and by every measure it is found wanting.
It's more insidious because it's inherently divisive. Your typical scam coin is only there to make gains in a zero-sum environment which as we know can't escape the gravity of Bitcoin being the measure of wealth.
By my own logic though maybe BCash should be the shittiest shitcoin.
strangely enough... OP didn't put BCH and XMR in the poll...
XMR would never have occurred to me, since real people actually use it for real stuff, and have done for years. It provides practical utility, right now. The objections to it are still unclear to me.
BCH's shittiness I already perfectly understand, so no reason to mention it.
stupid people use it for stupid stuff ... It feigns utility

If you have a more substantive critique of XMR I'd be interested in reading it.
Prove a negative?
They say its more private and you're just like ok?
I've come to believe that you have some good insights sometimes. If this is one of those times, I'm asking for them. But what you've given me so far isn't anything I can use.
It provides practical utility, right now
Oh you are one of these?

you know what is coming next, right?
time for a ~conspiracy post re: @elvismercury

Every year we have new candidates, from what I’ve seen. This year it’s Kaspa and XRP.
XRP is the opposite of a new candidate.
It's not new, but it's the trend of the year.

🤣
Monero, because it's unique in its psychological exploitation.
It's not about gains, utility, or in-grouping like every other shitcoin, but a much more insidious attack on Bitcoin by perpetuating false narratives about privacy.
