i get it 😀
its just people are *already* trusting cryptography they dont understand on Bitcoin.
the only difference is they've already decided #Bitcoin is trustworthy.
then they hear about #monero and they get really uptight about "why should I trust THESE cryptograhic primitives"
its like nigga did you go into elliptic curves when you learned about Bitcoin?
not you or anyone in specific
just generally
the only difference is just they arbitrarily decided Bitcoin was trustworthy.
mostly because there were enough OTHER PEOPLE telling them it is trustworthy.
which is a reasonable metric, not saying i dont use it too.
but specifically in the supply verification discussion its a weird intellectual idiosyncrasy that is under recognized.
why would someone decide specific cryptographic primitives they dont understand are ok to trust,
but OTHER cryptographic primitives they don't understand are NOT ok to trust?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
