I don't subscribe to the "no second best" nonsense, the cultism of some people (and almost all of the maxis) blinds them to some pretty obvious things.

It's no coincidence people naturally resort to the word cultist to describe such characters, it has to do with dogma. They are full of it, and are blind to the facts as a result.

All the tribalism is really unnecessary. Monero does onchain privacy much better than Bitcoin, and it's a lot cheaper too.

Therefore for use as digital cash, Monero is better suited.

I still wouldn't save large amounts in Monero, the same way I wouldn't use Bitcoin onchain other than for savings, because of the atrocious privacy it offers.

I'm in this for the freedom (number go up is nice too of course), and further normalizing the mass-surveillance of every payment of every person is not the way forward.

#monero is just another tool. Use it (always-on privacy+anonymity) or lose it (let the State criminalize financial privacy even further).

maybe it was me? looks like i just zapped from primal

best advice i've received. thank you. wasn't able top zap u

I think it's time to do a few Twitter Spaces on the subject of Nostr. It's been nearly a year since I've done this. It's time to hatch new Nostriches once again by educating #Bitcoin Twitter. Who wants to join me?

after some fafo with #whirlpool and seeing how long it takes to get a couple mixes, not to mention the fees (even with an scode), the premium paid for kyc free is looking more tolerable. might do #robosats going forward for stacking. still debating the best way to move my existing #btc into cold storage. some was purchased on localbitcoins and some on coinbase, many years ago, and i didn't label it 😑

Sometimes I get a strange feeling around certain people - like they aren’t safe. That gut feeling we all get.

Got that feeling around one of my new neighbours 🤔. He stars and follows me - literally and with his eyes. Have had that happen before but this one I get a really bad vibe from. Was a bit scared 😅.

I’m still a tough cookie 🥹 but I think learning to use a lighter so I can properly utilise my hairspray as a flame thrower is a necessity now 🔥

That, or kick him in his private parts if it comes to it. I hear that hurts.
