No, you imply he was an idiot, because he explained exactly why ledger needs to be public.

If supply isn’t stable, it’s not a viable money. Monero doesn’t solve this issue. For all we know Monero already has an inflation bug.

Everything monero tries to solve can be built on lightning without compromising the money.

Bitcoin supply is not stable. It is constantly dwindling because of lost or burned coins. 21 million is theory not reality. Bad for price discovery and stability.

Range proofs assure this inflation bug is not the case. Bitcoiners love espousing transparency, but never take advantage of it by manually verifying. They just trust a node to correctly audit, exactly as monero.

Building on a second layer is already a compromise. You give up final settlement. You create centralized nodes. And now you have most lightning users giving up custody to use it. Shame.

Nice, we are at the point where discussion always ends, with Monero heads making up stuff.

No, range proofs insure you not against an inflation bug.

And a layer 2 in this case is the opposite of compromise. You don’t compromise the main layer, thus using a layer 2.

And no, the supply is not twindling. Lost coins are dormant, this doesn’t hurt monetary function at all. It would only be the case if coins were actively taken out of wallets or added in.

I wish we could leave these overheated conversations with Twitter. Nostr should stay constructive, shouldn't it?

I'm a BTC maxi, but I see the issues with privacy. I know that the finite supply of BTC would fix some of the problems we have in our economy right now. But oh my god, I wish that humanity will never has to use a money with such bad privacy capabilities as todays BTC.

Silent payments may improve the situation, but Coinjoin is simply not enough. Coinjoined BTC is tainted and gives the enemies of BTC a huge attack vector at the on-/offramps.

I hope BTC will continue to rise and prosper. And I hope I will be able ti spend it without fear and concerns.

Then build privacy tools on Bitcoin. Don’t advocate for 💩coins and especially don’t lie about your favorite 💩coin or bitcoin

I'm not overheated, to me, it is just discussion. I'm not getting nasty or calling anyone names. Not angry with anyone either.

Notice his reaction to your benign and reasonable comment. Anything threatening to his belief and he reverts to accusations and calling you a shitcoiner.

Coinjoins are great, I use them when I use bitcoin. If bitcoin increases to be on par or better in privacy to monero, with no serious tradeoffs, I wont need Monero anymore. Until then...

I'm still here. Discussion only ends when you want it to. You are the only one making claims about me making stuff up and mind reading my beliefs of satoshi.

Layer 2 does make several compromises. You are either dishonest or ignorant if you insist there is no trade-off.

Dormant implies they will eventually be used again. They wont. They are lost coins and are effectively (not literally) the same as removing them from circulation.

If you manually verify and tally entire utxo set of bitcoin everytime you audit, I will concede it is effectively different. Otherwise, there is in practice, no difference as relying on a monero node for sound supply. Yet to find a bitcoiner who takes advantage of bitcoin's transparency and does this.

you trust a node

and the protocol

no one counts any coin manually

both monero and bitcoin are proof of work using the same protocol. monero is a successful fork from bitcoin. monero is more modern adding privacy and fungibility to the bitcoin protocol.

it added also a code to the protocol which makes mining with asics inefficient in order to keep mining decentralized on cpu, android or even car radio...

there is one guy who says that satoshi was a moron. do not feed the troll. time is too precious..
