Is the future of cryptocurrency within Bitcoin or elsewhere, regarding anonymity. I see a lot of people pushing for BTC but nothing like Monero or Loki for example. I'm not choosing sides, just genuine question?

With the existing crypto primitives you canโ€™t have sound money and fully private UTXO set

This ^^^

Why so?

Without fungibility (in the real world, not just at the protocol level) you can't have sound money, period.

Privacy is a prerequisite to that fungibility.

You mean salability, not fungibility.

WHat is the difference? I only know fingibility as 1 Monero is the same as this other 1 Monero

Still don't understand why sound money is impossible with fully private UTXO set yet.

No, I do mean fungibility. mutual substitution. interchangeable. 1 BTC =/= 1 BTC many examples.

Would they trade 1 "clean" bitcoin for my 1 "tainted" history bitcoin? Probably not.

Yet another great article from Seth. This answers a lot of my #fungibility questions. Be curious to see if he updates this with info regarding ordinals.

Taking a read now

That was a good read

JM + nostr? Some integration I donโ€™t know about?

Haven't heard much lately about splicing, when's that happening? Using CLN.

Thanks ๐Ÿ’œ

seriously, it's hard to keep up but also fun trying! ๐Ÿ˜…

What about Taproot on MK3? I know I asked already, but I don't see in the list. :(

Unlikely due to the extra memory needed. But the work is underway, and when ready we will try to back port it.

Thanks for the answer. Then I need to buy some MK4s because in this case I can't use my MK3s even in a Taproot multisig setup too.

Your post is getting a lot of likes and reposts.

Stratum v2 needs some love, important work there.๐Ÿ™

Bitcoin fixes money

Nostr fixes free speech

Can any of this good tech fix election systems?

Democracy is a gammed shitcoin

So would you say you're a Pinochetan enjoyer?

Dictatorship ๐Ÿคฎ

I do agree that democracy < individualism though, in many cases

Enforced libertarianism over voting liberties away.

Both have pros and cons

You mean that's what Pinochet did? Didn't he also kill communists?

Yeah, now i don't agree with killing those who disagree with you - even if they are communists.

They still have rights, including freedom of speech. I think my problem lies with those sorts of people trying to attain political poeer.

*power (forgive my typos - we're having a heatwave)

And when I say enforced I mean that the people won't be choosing fiscal policy (mostly to the detriment of tree market ideals)

What's this about WASM nodes?
