#privacytechpro tip: non kyc #btc + #monero is good stuff for privacy. period.

btc maxis, i suggest allowing for a private by default companion currency to bitcoin with a very different purpose (store of value vs private currency)...while #lightning and ecash grow.

Permissionless is that it is happening whether people (call them what you like) want it or not. So you have what you want already...? What does "allowing for" mean? What do you want other people to actually do?

That’s true 🖤🤍

What about kyc btc + monero?

Bahahaha!

Bitcoin is for saving.

No need for montero, so private, you don't know much there is out there 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shitcoiners be shitcoining!

Respect!

My savings are in Bitcoin only — hardest GFY money ever and all that — but I’ve always been curious about Monero, from a philosophical/ethical perspective.

My sense is that Monero users have a similarly strong and overlapping set of ideals to the Bitcoin community, perhaps most notably the absence of the fiat-shitcoin-hype nonsense surrounding pretty much every other cryptocurrency.

Monero also sounds objectively better from a privacy perspective, all else held equal (but my education here is limited).

Bitcoin provides decent privacy from a “leave me alone” perspective — the legacy system isn’t tracking your every Lightning transaction with cookies and pixels and GA4 and all that. (Or are they? Idfk)

Monero strikes me more as a “secrecy” money — like “I’m doing whatever the fuck I want with my money and you can’t find out even if you want to”.

Ideologically I respect that. Not sure I need it for my day to day, but I get the ethos.

Those are my cognac-infused musings. Curious your thoughts, Ava 🤙

I would only change your last sentence.

Lightning is a hot wallet, and by extension (besides being ruggable), so is ecash.

Monero is always there on L1, always ready, and always private and anonymous.

And yeah, only the idealogues who clearly believe themselves to be so much smarter than what they actually are and the ignorant people who do not understand the value of financial privacy cannot see that.

Just curious. What are transaction fees like. High low or in between?..🤔

an expensive tx on monero is about .01 USD

Ok, I’m curious now. What is your Monero setup like? Can you host your own Node with wallet similar to BTC?

a laptop of mine runs both my btc and xmr nodes

At this point, I believe that "btc maxis" are just corporate/govt-owned troll farms. Every single blockchain created after 2011 (especially privacy-oriented ones like Monero) is much better and they know it, but they want to retain control over the ecosystem.
