I can understand that argument with almost any altcoin (though I'd disagree) EXCEPT for privacy coins. There's an objective usecase for them, even if Bitcoin is your preference.
Discussion
Then go and shitcoin yourself, I'll concentrate on bitcoin. Win-win for me.
You want me to give up all the advantages of bitcoin just so I gain more privacy (if even that is true)? I don't think so.
Some hard love
If an asset can be seized from you at any point by force
In what way do you "own" it?
No privacy no wealth.
They don't even need to seize it. An IRS audit is all it takes, and they just make shit up that puts you in the poor house, or jail.
Monero has most of the advantages of Bitcoin, with more privacy (which is a *massive* advantage in and of itself). I'm not saying Bitcoin doesn't have a purpose, because it certainly does. The bulk of our wealth should be concentrated in it but when you can see every transaction a person has ever made, that's a major problem. That's where privacy coins can be incredibly helpful.
It sounds to me that whoever created this shitcoin is much smarter than Satoshi himself, I wonder why wasn't this shitcoin available before bitcoin?
SMH y'all realize that this insufferable, cultish mentality that some maxis have is exactly what turns people away, right?
Most of the cultishness has well articulated reasoning in my experience and most would acknowledge the privacy difficiency but would argue that one can get that level privacy with lightning, ecash, or fediments. Others are just ignorant of a world outside of satoshi. This guys entire line of reasoning is "My master doesn't feed me in anything else thus everything else is irrelevant universally". We don't ask him for advice cause hes a walking logical console error, we just like his memes.
It's common sense and there's nothing cultish about it. I'm not going to take a financial risk by moving away from bitcoin (check price history of btc/your shitcoin) just so you'll be pleased with me.
What's it to you what currency I use anyway? Will it really satisfy you more if I just agree with you? 🙄
If this "mentalitt" realky turns people away then how come you're still here?
*"mentality"
I'm not telling you what to do, I'm simply saying that there ARE genuine use cases for some altcoins. Just because you choose not to use them, that doesn't make them useless.
They're useless to me, hence why I don't use them. Stop shitcoining already!
This is the problem I take with your stance. Use BTC only, if that's your preference. That's all good! However, when you're effectively telling others they shouldn't use altcoins because they're not Bitcoin, that's where the problem lies. I'm not telling YOU to stop using Bitcoin and I'm not insulting your choice.
If I think it's a shitcoin then I'm going to come out and say it's a shitcoin. It's not like I MUST say something positive about it.
If you still have a problem with that, then either do something about it or fuck off.
Little to do when you've successfully played the victim, the superior, the fool, and the smartest person in the room all at the same time. Bravo
Ironically, I bet Mr2MB still uses fiat, the largest shitcoin of them all, more than they use even Bitcoin and doesn't think twice about it
