I'm sorry #Monero, but the markets have decided. In monetary terms #Bitcoin will take it all, that is pretty much a given by now.

We're in a fight for freedom and even sanity where Monero still is extremely important, so I'll certainly still support the project!

Development and adoption, however, belongs to Lightning... The services available now are impressive, and in practical terms privacy has become easy.

What I totally WILL watch closely in the years to come is any signs of exchanging between Bitcoin and Monero getting close to impossible, but what I think is that Lightning will be a driver for this too: we'll be in an open rebellion where someone will always set up a gateway between the two!

So today I'll keep exchanging what I have left before the next surge of Bitcoin, especially since I just tried this excellent service with Lightning:

Will I keep some? Probably, maybe worth 100-200 bucks for domains, and emergencies... Will I buy in again later? Maybe, all depending on how markets develop!

And that is the thing: although Monero took over the free markets online I think that from now on Lightning will take marketshares back.

You used a centralised exchange not knowing about decentralised ways to trade Monero for Bitcoin?

Trading between Bitcoin and Monero has never been more liquid in a permissionless, trustless and private way.

And it's only getting better. Thanks to the delisting of CEX.

Of course! Once I've decided on what I wrote about why would I spend a day on doing it that way?

A Rebel Nomad has to be practical, and the huge wave of adoption that is incoming will consist of ordinary users doing exactly the sort of thing I did today.

If you're building 100% in privacy I totally understand & respect that, and I did this until recently.

Now, for me, its time to simply buidl in open defiance, and then time is scarce every day...

Nothing wrong with turning a "Nomad Normie".

We all pick our different fights.
