He's pretty accurate from what I've seen. Didn't actually cross check with the article but willing to bet he's right.

i don't waste my time reading stuff from people who don't understand that pseudonymity is better than unauditable encrypted ledgers and there's a reason for why people use his favourite coin, being, to buy drugs, but anyone with serious money uses coinjoins to hide their stash.
i find monero fanatics extremely tedious. they are shitcoiners. the end.
Absolutely spot on 🎯
Tedious is fair lol. They have fed-like energy to quibble over minutia til the cows come home.
But, tend to be more "cypherpunk" and on average much more educated in the complex topics such as privacy and economics.
TLDR they cool and most hold plenty of BTC anyway
yeah. that bleed-over is part of the reason why i'm not usually following people on the edge of that region of stupidity
i don't mind whatever kink people are into and i don't follow anyone who posts often about their kink, but they plain out shit on bitcoin on a regular basis because it hasn't got ring signatures and they can jam it up their ring. bitcoin has no ring signatures for reasons they are oblivious enough to that they still think that privacy is an overriding element of a fiat-superceding monetary system.
actual people who understand the ins and outs of encryption, systems theory, signals intelligence, distributed systems, asymmetric cryptography, psychology, and the theory of actually achieving the abolition of arbitrary violent power in society, understand that this is not helpful to anyone, and i'm going to opt out of reading and interacting with someone who gives these "fed-like" people a hearing, i'm done with it. i've been in this since 2012 and they are just straight wrong.
Free to do so. Haven't been around nearly as long and still find the conversation informative.
I'll see you around in other threads :)
until i have a client that lets me block a conversation involving stupid people, even if people i follow are in it, this is how it be
It's been real 🥲
well, when you realise that the moment you out yourself to them as a bitcoiner and they start on that track, you'll start to understand why i have this opinion
I get it. You don't have to follow me if my engagement with some accounts bothers you (muting seems extreme). Each their own, but I'll still bet, article unread, that what saber claimed is true in this argument. Can bet sats if you like, not motivated enough to check otherwise
even a stopped clock etc
all of the moneros on nostr that i have encountered are trolls
