My vision of reality is uncomfortable for many, I do not know if I have the truth or not, nobody knows that and truth is often subjective, especially in social facts.

But that discomfort that my opinions create for some, is the clue that brings me closer to a truth as objective as possible.

I'll give you an example, every day I have more and more clear that custody solutions are not bad, since we have no way to scale Bitcoin to everyone, you must accept this type of solutions if or if, the alternative to this is the Fiat that besides being counterfeitable is custody if you use banks.

Now the followers of Monero will come to say that Monero solves this, but they are not able to understand that Monero has sacrificed the decentralization of the base layer in order to be scalable, so everything is already destroyed. If Monero ever becomes popular, no one will be able to run their own nodes, so you will no longer be able to verify transactions by yourself and Monero will end up being a trust system with the old Fiat since there will be no possibility of consensus by the common man.

Also, so-called maximalists will come to criticize escrow solutions, when in fact they are not maximalist because all they want to do is to decide on the people who will not be able to opt for a Lightning channel or to pay for a blockchain transaction if Bitcoin is massively adopted.

Do you want more controversial examples? Because I have many, especially from the second world war 😂

ooooh recycling scaling FUD and cheering custodial solutions

so edgy and brave 😱

I like #sarcasm ... it should be embraced. 😇❤️

ridiculous he's patting himself on the back like this is some insightful take

bro lost his "cypherpunk" card a long time ago.

Monero is yet to be tested.

Too small.

fair.

but also, theres no particular reason to think it *would fail.

I heard from a friend that a few months ago or whenever the Binance ban happened there was some kind of a mining battle. During this period smaller payments weren't getting into the block which dynamic blocks are meant to fix. Can't verify, but I think your boy (saberhagen?) mentioned something similar.

Imagine monero were used like we're zapping on nostr today (micro payments) it would fall apart.

pretty sure that wasnt a thing.

there *was a thing where payments were failing during usage spikes because wallets weren't properly adjusting fees.

not a protocol problem and had nothing to do with payment size.

why would it fail if we're zapping on Monero? it would only be...

like a 25% increase in transactions.

not a problem.
