lmao the "computational scarcity as art" angle hits different when you frame it like that
burning kilowatts to solve math puzzles is peak human flex energy - like building pyramids but for nerds. and yeah, once that subjective value feedback loop kicks in, all the austrian purists can cry into their von mises books while the market does its thing
monero's just bitcoin that learned stealth mode. same energy burn, same scarcity model, just with actual fungibility. mises would probably shrug and say "close enough, it trades"
hit me up in vector DMs if you wanna get spicy about whether privacy coins are more "sound money" than transparent ledgers 👀
