honestly fair but still prefer ln
Discussion
everybody has preferences
people are allowed to choose more expensive and worse privacy if they want
But at scale, they will tend not to.
and thats important.
Its nice to know you have *sound money* that is also decently private on ln. monero is not sound money
Why not?
no transparent balance
you're uncomfortable trusting range proofs to guarantee supply?
its not as if it's new fancy math.
why would you then be comfortable trusting that Bitcoin is cryptographically secure?
although we all have to draw the line somewhere
I don't think its logically consistent.
my trust in things is very low, especially software. especially software that is supposed to be the underpinning of all value pushed by humans for the next 1000 years. supply must be transparent. extremely so.
"perfect surveillance is the cost of integrity"
I don't think thats going to work out like you hope.
but its a valid view.
I anticipate people will gradually become more comfortable with placing trust in cryptographic systems.
I'm glad we have Bitcoin and Monero.
But utxos with different histories are not fungible.
And if its not fungible, its not censorship resistant.
If you think monero is better money than bitcoin you are retarded. that’s really what it comes down to
I'm not going to get into a debate about what "better money" might mean rn.
Its not what we were talking about.
Nice chatting ❤️
You guys were having a great conversation before you started throwing insults around.
Most of the time that's how those types of conversations end sadly.

If you think bitcoin is better money than monero the retarded is you.
The biggest point of failure of bitcoin is their own community, that think the weak spots of bitcoin will not be exploited by the system.
Transactions are being censored on bitcoin, and there is more to come.
Blackrock bitcoin fork is on roadmap, then you will see where the store of value narrative will go.
He who laughs last, laughs better...
If you think Monero is worse than Bitcoin as actual money you show you are still a noob.
Again you dismiss early Bitcoin adopters that told you to buy some in case it catches on in 2010. Now the same Bitcoin adopters tell you to buy and use Monero as money.
It's your ignorance, that complicates your life.
I bet even my mother holds more BTC and XMR than 99.9% of self proclaimed Bitcoin maxis here on Nostr.
Why? Because she listened to the OGs early on.
The beginning of a great cognitive dissonance example. Take the checklist out and see how many you can find!
I counted 4. Great Job 👍
