Have you not tried other brands of shirts?
Do you only wear one brand of pants?
Will you not try different shoe brands?
Discussion
You could've made me interested in Monero or you could've made a case for using it, but this answer already confirms there is no second best and I rather talk to people who are Bitcoin only. Jezus fuck man
So youāre completely against trying different things? Ok kew you donāt thatās fine by me lol
No totally not. It's just that you didn't give any reason why I should.
If I would follow your reasoning, I should try every shitcoin out there..
Plus I said it's like comparing bicycles to cars. I don't mind trying other cars, but you're saying I should try this bicycle..
I'm genuinely interested my man
Maybe you should just try and use any other crypto? Just once?
I wasnāt trying to get you to use anythingā¦
Iām trying to see why you WONāT try something else?
Iām not saying go spend 10k on "insert meme coin"ā¦ absolutely donāt do that lol
Like dl a litecoin client see how it is or monero clientā¦ convert 5 bucks of btc make a transactionā¦ cash out back to btcā¦
Personally out side of monero I think bitcoin is the second most used cryptocurrency currently but itās not like either one has a big list of places to buy/sell.
I'll just answer your original question.
I've never touched any other coin except Bitcoin, because I've spent many hours learning about money to know Bitcoin is the only reliable solution to fix this broken monetary system and the best way to preserve and grow my wealth.
I know Monero has a use case for privacy, but I've already seen this been debunked.
It could be that Monero is still more private than Bitcoin, but an all other areas it's far worse.. you say you're from Bitcoin class 2011, but I Don't think you were paying attention in class and learned anything..
I know Bitcoin will still be working fine in 20 years and you cannot say that for Monero, Litecoin or any other shitcoin
I never said to hold any coin for any length of timeā¦
Lmfao wasnāt paying attentionā¦???ā¦ Why else have I been using bitcoin for so long then?
Iām still struggling to figure out why you canāt just try a different software? But youāve done all those hours of learning?
Have you ever dl core even?
I don't need to try other software if I'm already trying the best or have no use case for trying something else.
I also don't wanna give my value to things that will misuse it or dilute it.
I see no reason,l.
Idk what you don't understand from this??
And if by core you mean Bitcoin core, yes I downloaded Bitcoin core and run my own node.
The fact they can't tamper with Bitcoin is the reason I only use Bitcoin. This is something basic you learn when you start learning about money..
The money is broken and it is broken because people constantly tamper with it.
I'm asking now why YOU don't only use Bitcoin? Maybe I can get a reason or answer like that, because I already told you why I don't..
Cool Iām glad you asleast run your own node(or have)
I have no need to be "bitcoin only".
I like to test stuff and will continue to do so.
I will continue to use bitcoin & monero regularly as I see fit.
For me it really comes down to a moral thing. The system is broken and the only thing that will fix it is Bitcoin IMHO..
I'm really not against trying other things, but I'm trying to get out of the rat race and for now Bitcoin is being great/the best at helping me do that (without having to worry)
It did take 3 years before I started to run a node, but I'm not running a LN node for the moment.
I'm also not super technical and I don't like playing with my money/value, that's maybe why I'm a bit reluctant testing things with it..
Thank you for your insight & viewpoint I greatly appreciated being able to get a glimpse into peopleās perspectives.
I hope your pilgrimage is filled with a wealth of knowledge.
I would advise against running your own LN node except for a Zeus node in da phoneā¦ but thatās just my 2 sats as I do not want to deal with running a LN nodeā¦ maybe Iāll try that again when I finally get my sever up n runningā¦
I'm glad we could have a mature talk and I hope the same for you fren š«
And indeed. I was already checking out Zeus, but haven't made the step yet of using it. I already have the app on my phone, but not really using it..
š«š«”
I started using Zeus when wos left the USA marketā¦ I have had a great experience with it & the few times things got weird itās pretty easy to get ahold of the team here on nostrā¦
I donāt have it linked to my home nodes either those are for certain wallets.
Same reason I have Zeus on my phone.
For when WOS maybe won't be used in Europe anymore š
Man wos is great for a custodial solution.
But Zeus is the best for full self custody on a phone.
For sure.
I 100% agree. For now, it's just easy to stick with wos ATM, but future wise I'll definitely be using Zeus
Awesome sauce
Dude, you like anime?
Dependsā¦ generally older stuffā¦ donāt really watch to much in general anymoreā¦
I've got a nice recommendation if you want.
I'm also into weed and make some š„ memes (if I say so myself)
I zapped you twice, but was seems a bit slow today
Zeus node in da phone requires you to accept each zap from the zaplocker unless you have it set up to receive payment when you start the node up.
Zaps sit in the zaplocker 4 up to 24 hours before getting refunded to the sender.
Both zappers should show as received now as I redeemed them from the Zaplocker
>"I'm asking now why YOU don't only use Bitcoin?"
Bitcoin isn't great for making private and cheap transactions (without introducing complexity or giving up sovereignty)
It's like insisting on using a hammer for everything. Some tools are much better for other tasks.
And lets be real it's not like you don't use shitcoins. I'm sure you use fiat the biggest shitcoin of them all. So the purity test has already failed for you anyway.
I use Bitcoin to save value
If you never use it to transact, and don't care about privacy, then that makes sense why you wouldnt find things like Monero useful
I use bitcoin to safe my time and energy that I provided to society on a decentralized network in digital space to use that economic output at a latter stage.
Youāll find that most Bitcoiners post-Erc-20 are now Bitcoin-only because they used to be shitcoiners and may know a lot more about alts than you think.
Thatās what I want to find outā¦
(Easy way is to take your average nostr user name and add .eth to it and look it up on eth browser lol)
