So we are two already who wonder why HRF and nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu are promoting BTC as freedom tech, which offers no privacy at all and chose a path clearly against self custody.
They are either stupid or malicious.
yes, I'm pondering this for a long time. you know, i'm not entirely against bitcoin. it's not a scam, it can be useful, although i personally think that monero is superior. my question is more like: is it about bitcoin or freedom here? and if the latter, why are they aggressively promoting only bitcoin and not #monero as well? is tor bitcoin? is a vpn bitcoin? is linux bitcoin? is a custom ROM bitcoin? is bittorrent bitcoin? in the end, what it's all about? I really enjoyed nostr:nprofile1qqs9336p4f3sctdrtft2wlqaq5upjz9azpgylhfd3dplwf005mfrr9spzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj7spz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kueg6g89xw 's book but every chapter ended with how only bitcoin can help to bring the change which unfortunately muddied things a bit and eventually made the book look like a brochure...
i am also not against bitcoin at all, but recommending it as freedom tech is completely misleading and putting people at risk. Not mentioning much better solutions is malicious.
Everybody is free to convert its XMR back into BTC later if they want.
