It has been discovered that Bitcoin also has only 9 peers for its bootstrap, where the peerlist can be poisoned and all transaction privacy be undone, I don't care if you are using CoinJoin, your privacy is undone.

This is a serious point of centralization and I wonder how come nobody noticed, even after a decade has passed? Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies alike should move to pulling the peerlist of out their asses, to increase decentralization and decrease the chances of an attacker 51% attacking Bitcoin.

The original vulnerability was discovered in Monero who is "werkin" on the PoC as we are speaking.

Monero will definitely go to zero, however Bitcoin can be saved if the devs upgrade bitcoin-core and bitcoinj rapidly.
