I read someone describe it recently as something like "bitcoin hipsterism". Bitcoin is popular now, so they move to less popular stuff. Monero can't scale to popularity, so the hipsters that moved there will be safe.
Discussion
If Monero comes up with anything useful then eventually that tech will be rolled into Bitcoin at some level. There’s only one interwebs, just like there will be only one Bitcoin.
cope.
bitcoiners have lost the plot,
adherence to 1st principles isn't hipsterism.
I’m thinking of leaving the whole digital currency thing and just going to cash 🚬
nah bro
it's worth it
although cash is good privacy
I'd just flip into it for the amount you need 😂
Cash has inflation built in.
People are talking about Monero's infinite inflation and the next second they go all in cash!?!?
What's wring with your math skills, people?
Monero is digital cash with inflation like BTC and half of gold.
Cash is good as a short term private store of value. For everything else you want Monero and bitcoin.
My hypothesis is they're going to feel like buttcoiners over the next decade. We shall see.
Doublecope. First, first priciple: longest chain with most proof of work is truth.
Bitcoin can't scale either even with Lightning.
MimbleWimble and DAGs blow you guys out of the water in scalability.
Welcome to the glass house I saved you a seat.
Like it or not, bitcoin has scaled to popularity. People have said for years that it wouldn't. In fact, it is so popular the president of the USA gave it a first class seat (like it or not).
Bitcoin is relatively popular now (in minds and conversation), but it hasn't "scaled". Two very different things. Most "hold" their Bitcoin on centralized exchanges with custodians.
Bitcoins value prop doesn't extend to white markets so the vast majority of Bitcoin activity is irrelevant
"scale to popularity"
wow first time ive heard that.
sounds like cope.
its not "scaling." its just popular.
Your being dishonest or you didn't read my previous posts.
I don't even know what you are arguing. Monero is scalable? Bitcoin cash is scalable? Bitcoin has scaled to fit its demand. Quit solving imaginary scaling.
>"Quit solving imaginary scaling."
We can can easily say the same thing to you for Monero. Choose an argument.
Your previous issue was Monero is not scalable in a future hypothetical adoption scenario.
Right now it works just fine at current use, just like Bitcoin works fine with current use.
I'm saying "scaling to popularity" is a meaningless statement.
"the people who use it, can use it" 👍
