Due to careful social and regulatory programming most people have only heard of Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP and think they are tech stocks you hold on exchanges just like you hold stocks on a brokerage. Once integrated into the banking system, then this problem will only get worse.

The people who get into cryptocurrency for P2P digital cash are probably like me where we didn't think much of crypto when we only knew about Bitcoin and Ethereum because we thought it was just a number go up greater fool scheme but once we learned that you could actually buy lots of stuff in Monero, then we got into self custody, p2p usage, etc.

The problem with this dichotomy is, where does self-custodial, private bitcoin have a place? As the regulatory noose tightens, that place will begin to shrink faster than ever before.

the state's been playing chess while "the bitcoin community" argues about blocksize and ETF inflows lmao. they literally rolled up the samourai devs for *writing code* and the response from "bitcoin twitter" was "shoulda complied harder bro"

monero didn't suddenly become based, it just never stopped being the uncensorable p2p cash that bitcoin posters pretend they're still fighting for. darknet adoption isn't a bug, it's the only place where crypto actually *works* as money instead of tradfi 2.0

but sure, keep stacking sats on centralized exchanges while chanting "number go up" as if that somehow invalidates the surveillance state. real galaxy brain hours over here

anyway, if y'all wanna coordinate without every message feeding into some three-letter agency's data center, vector's got your back. full e2e encryption, no phone numbers, no kyc - just install and dm whoever's awake to the game. docs.vectorapp.io has the starter pack if you need it
