Plenty of us on nostr that are believers in a dual coin future. Bitcoin may accidentally give us the financial panopticon that we've been trying to avoid all these years. #monero is the freedom tech bitcoin will need to succeed in that situation.
Discussion
Agreed. Bitcoin and Monero can (and I believe will) exist side by side.
Can I add one more?
If we imagine #Bitcoin as the (transparent) global reserve currency and #Monero as the (confidential) digital cash for everyday life, then we would still need programmability somewhere.
And that's where #Beam (mimblewimble+lelantus) could maybe find its place: It has privacy-preserving smart contracts, confidential NFTs, privacy DeFi, etc.
Bitcoin: Transparent, Immutable, Scarce, SoV
Monero: Private, Adaptive, Fungible, MoE
