You are a scared coward... without balls.

Feds will put you in jail for years for stepping out of line. Look at Samurai wallet's devs and the tragedy of their incarceration. I can be confident in Monero's protection due to darknet market adoption, but when my family is at stake, Bitcoin is dangerous. I have something to lose, Darth. Everybody who has opened their mind to even considering using Monero has something to lose.
It's nice to have big balls.
It's nice to be not a scared coward.
But you are describing the 1% alphas in every society not the 99% herd followers.
I don't think it is smart to sacrifice 99% of the people because you think they are dumb.
Yes they may be dumb for not doing everything they could to protect their sovereignty, but as a good leader you protect your friends, family and community (after protecting yourself) and not letting them run into their inevitable demise or expose your strongest allies to weak defense..
That's why real Bitcoin OGs are into Monero.
Seems like a cop out and you are the scared coward
You are a bitcoin OG that cares so much about sovereignty that bitcoin provided for you but now reject the project because for some reason you think it has “failed”.
now you spend all your time trying to get us to buy your niche privacy token instead of saving in bitcoin
Just really weak
Nobody is forcing you to do anything.
Is the way around: I do not accept your shitcoin.
Huh?
I think you may have the monero guy I am criticizing muted and are missing the context for my post.
Monero is a niche privacy token that will never be globally adopted but these monero bros constantly whine about bitcoin to promote their shitcoin that nobody wants and then call us toxic maxis
"Instead of saving in Bitcoin"
You're supposed to use Monero to save in Bitcoin anonymously, not just give up Bitcoin 🤦♂
He said he does that but also saves in Monero considering how undervalued it is and thus has a larger potential* to gain greater value. Monero is also safer to save in since saving in Bitcoin is only as anonymous as your node connection hygiene and swap swap metadata.
Some more whining about bitcoin’s lack of privacy
I am probably naive and stupid but I really do not give a shit about privacy and what the state says I am able to do. I do not ask for permission to spend my sats. I do my best to comply with their bullshit and take my chances. The more people that act this way the less power the state has to enforce their Orwellian regulations
You monero bros claim to be cypherpunks but are so worried about the state…
well, you should be worried.
Why? Because I don’t ask for permission from the state and don’t use some shady privacy coin?
I’m just a normal guy that is raising my family.
Government already steals plenty of money from me every paycheck
I consider myself fortunate to live in Miami surrounded by lots of immigrants from South America and Cuba that escaped communism and are not going to let it happen to them again
Privacy bolsters your ability to not ask permission from a more powerful force. It's an asymmetric advantage. If they know who you are and what you're doing they can use force to stop you. It's not about being "scared". Fearlessness plays no role in whether you can be stopped or not. It's not that difficult to understand.
Cypherpunks central focus was on privacy. It's ignorace or mental gymnastics to downplay that.
