My opinions are just opinions, and I can change my mind anytime I see I’m wrong, but for now this are my tools to separate money from state.

You could just use Bitcoin... There's no need for Monero...
Food for thought.
Not watching it because the answer is yes, if I wanted to obfuscate my internet transactions I’d go Monero for the extra privacy but it’s a shit store of wealth which is my main use case for Bitcoin.
Admitting it has a use case, rather than dismissing it as a shitcoin, has value.
Paying for a VPN with XMR is nice, too.
Cheers.
It’s one of the few non-BTC cryptocurrencies that has a usecase.
I’m ideological but not stupid, I can see where it fits so if I was gonna spin up a darkweb market tomorrow it would run on XMR but I’d be converting everything other than liquidity into BTC also.
Not opposed to Monero. Just opposed to the clownshoes who think the world should adopt it as the alternative instead of Bitcoin as if every transaction needs XMR levels of privacy.
Of course 🤙🏻
That is the point 👌🏼
why wouldn't you just use cashu.me...
Then you’re deciding to trust the mint not to rug your coins in a way I don’t need to trust XMR
You can run your own mint very easily. More privacy.
So everyone is going to run their own mints and have an anonset of 1? Defeats the whole point of convenience and privacy for ecash.
I'd rather trust my own mint than trust a protocol that hard forks itself on a fairly regular basis.
Global adoption prophecy is mostly a Bitcoin maxi phenomenon. Highly doubt normies will use either in an self-sovereign way.
Fair. Bitcoin is a better SoV. Monero is a better MoE imo.
That’s a fair point.
I like both for different reasons, and one of the main reasons I have monero is the one that the man in the video says about tyranny governs.
I think we are walking step by step to a tyranny world government because of UN, WHO, IMF and censorship governments, and I want be prepared for worst case scenario.
But this are fair points, appreciate your share 🤙🏻
Kind of like people don't realize they should have sound money before they need sound money.
People don't recognize the importance of privacy until they need it.
Might want to get some, just in case....
Lots of "tools" for bitcoin privacy, washing, conjoins, whirlpools, lightning... Or there's XMR. Easy.
Maybe you are right.. but for now i prefer this aprouch
If you want privacy, you can use Bitcoin pretty pseudonomously pretty easily now by utilizing a combination of lightning, Liquid with nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970
There's also eCash Cashu.
P2P exchanges like robosats or bisq.
Lots of ways to use Bitcoin very privately. Cut the 💩coins out when you're comfortable. I believe in you. If you want more info or need some help I'm sure many people would be glad to help and I would be too. 🤙
Appreciated 🤙🏻
