Agree that psychedelics aren't a magical solution to all ones problems, it doesn't gurantee any long lasting positive change, and can even be negative influence, but it does give you the *opportunity* for serious introspection during and after a trip by shaking up your subconscious patterns of thought and perspective

Have you ever taken a psychedlic before?

It's truly ineffable and one of the most profound experiences one can have in your life. Not telling you to do it or not, but I guarantee it's nothing like you concieve it to be and you won't ever really "get it" unless you've experienced it.

The to date scariest thing I found out about Monero is that the people behind Monero host cryptographic tools that are only crypto theater. For years. And without an issue tracker, people taking Monero devs seriously will inevitably fall for the temptation to use these tools.

https://github.com/monero-project/urs promises:

"URS can be used to sign plaintext or binaries anonymously (among a group of known users). That is a user can sign a message, hiding among a group of known/registered users, that prevents the verifier from revealing the signer's identity other than knowing that it is in the set of registered users."

7 years ago, these claims were found to be false and the Monero devs never removed this repository or marked it as dangerous?

Thanks for bringing this up. Someone brought your note to the attention of Monero IRC group and they removed it. Agreed with you it should have been taken down a long time ago. The original also added a warning to it a few days ago.

Bitcoin value proposition literally only exists on black markets

Yea, its totally not because of delistings and countries banning it (and it's still pumping DESPITE everything going against it) and because "no-one can trust their share fo the network". People are very rational and think deeply when it comes to these things which is why fartcoin, trumpcoin, and a thousand other shitcoins become so popular.

And I'm the stupid autist lol.

>"optimising for the former is great if you only want to buy drugs with your money"

Lol, love how you anti-goverment guys now adopt the repeated government slogan about privacy. I know you don't really believe that though otherwise you guys wouldn't be trying to improve Bitcoins privacy in the first place with Lightning and other layers (or use a nym online - what are you a criminal?).

Privacy with your money has been the default for most of human history. Complete transparency on all your transactions is the weird unprecedented thing here.

And if you want to buy drugs with your money, so what? That's up to you to take on those risks and no one elses business.

No, Silent Payments are functionally the same as never reusing addresses. Nothing is hidden on-chain.

Monero is better for privacy.

Only 10x more? Monero has far fewer users, ~0.1% of mcap, yet ~7% of Bitcoins transactions.

Looks like Monero is doing more than fine all things considered

Cash is private, uncensorable - but not digital

Digital fiat is digital(duh) - but censorable and not private

Monero is private, uncensorable, and digital

Fiat issuance is centralized, unpredictable, and doesn't require PoW

Monero issuance is decentralized, predictable, and requires PoW

Things cash does worse or can't do at all:

-Can't use it to transact instantly with anyone on the planet.

-Can't carry arbitrarily large amounts.

-Vulnerable to confiscation and theft.

-More difficult to verify authenticity on-the-fly.

-Not as easily divisible (Need to carry specific denominations and change)

-Can't trustlessly exchange for crypto (no atomic swaps)

-Can't have multiple people with simultaneous ownership and control over the same cash (multisig)

Lots of differences

"Every year more and more drop support."

That shows it works and is an actual threat otherwise they wouldnt bother just like they don't bother with every other transparent coin, or compromised "privacy" coin

"opening LN channels to transact privately."

"Save the headaches perhaps."

Lol choose one please

The essense of your tirade is pure cope. You're angrily lashing out but it won't change anything. What was supposed to be a revolutionary technology became captured and sterilized. It's becoming integrated with the same governments and institutions you were trying to remove. They accept it with open arms because surveilleable hodling culture is a non-threat to fiat.

You didn't kick out regulators and custodians, they dropped you. Good lord Monero boys are a dense group.

Monero will never be money used globally. Never.

Real people, companies, and corporations will not take it for manufacturing, oil, minerals, space flights, wholesale wood, pork bellied, etc...

Banks will not create financial products, loans, insurance using Monero. There will be no local banks enough masse that will create savings accounts for Monero, there will be no major inheritance products designed to distrobute to kin, and on.

There will be nonproperty tax paid in Monero.

There will be no bonds issues in Monero at city, county, or federal levels.

Economic zones and countries in their global trade will not be done in xmr, ever.

I could give 2 shits some darkweb and random places accept it. I am talking about the real world. I am talking about paying the power company, you muniple trash bill, taxes, everything that actually gets transacted daily.

If your thesis is that governments will cease to collect taxes or that they will allow you to pay in a currency that has no auditable and provable ledger to make sure the money didn't come from drugs, China, whatever, you are out of your fucking mind.

Bitcoin has the best chance, but I am not sold it can do it either. But there is a 100% chance Monero does not become a globally accepted currency

I am sorry you invested in a cryptocurrency that didn't and won't get adopted, that sucks. But let's not play childish pretend games.

Bitcoin is so spread wide open that it wasn't even necessary to ask

Compliant cuckchain by default

Yea definitely

They didn't kick Monero off because we wouldn't comply when exchanges asked us if we ever considered "removing privacy features"

Firo implemented transparent "exchange addresses", Zcash TEX addresses, and Railgun "proof of innocence" and were allowed to remain in the eco

Pure coincidence
