It's not a huge tip. But it's not empty anymore.

Thank you. That defintely deserves a follow.
I have to admit I think #Monero is pretty much the way #BTC was supposed to.
I don't think #crypto was ever supposed to be an #investment stragegy, but sadly that's the way the majority see it now.
#xmr is #money you can use online, the way all #cryptocurrency was meant to be.
I'm old enough to remember the orginal plan and that's the one I signed up for.
Bitcoin was meant to tackle the central banking cartel as evidenced by the inscription I'm the genesis block. Its more than just privacy.
I get what you're saying, but I don't think #Satoshi is the only one we need to read. Many other people in those forums were looking for what #Monero is now.
I'm happy some people want more than money from #BTC, but that's all I ever trusted it could do.
I'm an old cynic, so disregard my thinking, but it never seemed to me you could have a stable measure of value.
As long as the world's population plateaus and then falls, all measures of value will fall with it, because that's the other side of supply and demand.
As the population falls there's only one measure of value that will increase and that's the value of a worker's time.
No #technology can alter that simple piece of arithmetic and it's always been the baseline.
Similar long-run logic was used by Keynes to justify inflation back in the days “in the long run we are all dead.., controlled inflation is good for the economy/jobs etc”. We are doing what we can here and now and bitcoin is the best chance we have against the current world economic system that incentivizes the rich and punishes the poor. I use XMR and bitcoin for transacting but I would never keep a hefty amount of value on XMR, though I do appreciate it for what it is.
I just want to make it clear, I never said there was no point trying. Many difficult tasks are nonetheless achieved and this may be one of those.
I'm just noting the technology isn't enough. We need the will to make it happen. So it doesn't provide a Swiss army knife for all economic models.
It's just money. No more no less.
Nice! How many places take it that you know? I've only met one other person...
I know at least two VPN services that take #xmr
#mullvad
#ivpn
I actually use one of them and pay that way.
The signup and payment combined is the same user friendliness as the 1-click payment with Amazon, and it is equally revolutionary, but FOR freedom!!!
There are some web hosts too https://kb.1984hosting.com/doku.php?id=start&s[]=monero is one such.
It's not as rare as people think actually.
