It’s always to see your stuff because few people understand.
I once understood but I’m blind again.
Just knowing how everything in the world is constructed, & functions, seeing the fine integrate details to it all.
Right now I would say Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Monero, & Zcash are the top contenders for a full cryptocurrency ecosystem.
I would say
Bitcoin is at 80%
Zcash is at 60%
Bitcoin Cash is at 40%
Monero is at 20%
My pros, and cons
Bitcoin has a strong network effect, and probably the most ecosystem development, and infrastructure but issues like long confirmation times, inefficient payments rails, high fees, and really it’s too valuable to spend.
Zcash is a good strong private contender, has amazing if not the best cryptographic protocol, and utilizes tools like Flexa effectively, however it’s semi-centralization, and flexibility to regulation makes it harder to innovate in unfriendly environments, also the common critique, yes the dev fee.
Bitcoin cash appears to have commonplace usage in third world countries like Africa, & Some parts of Latin America, however while it’s an improvement over Bitcoin, it still has the fixed supply, & privacy issues.
Monero has a strong network effect, amazing privacy by default, and outstanding developers in the community who quickly tackle issues, it has decent confirmation times, and while previously syncing used to plague Monero, sync times have improved, however it lacks good payment gateway tools, and it’s association with criminal behavior make it harder to gain traction for normal people, many in the community let perfect ruin good, & its legal uncertainty also doesn’t help its adoption.
The cryptocurrency ecosystem is by far still early.
We have amazing tools already but many gaps need to be filled, or ironed out before those tools can be fully utilized, additionally having a full ecosystem helps bring people to crypto.
I don't currently have a lightning wallet setup but I appreciate the generosity.
They fund wars with printing, not social security.
Social security thru take lie to people that previously worked, and steal from people working now via direct taxation.
The youngest person gets the hot potato.

I thought everyone in America was supposed to be poor, & unable to afford groceries, & stuff but people dumped a bunch of money into The “Hawk Tuah” coin 🤔.
Interest rates are still too low.
It happens to the best of us 😔✊.
I’ve become more, and more open to more multiple cryptocurrencies.
Not one technology is the bullet in the chamber but when used in conjunction it can benefit us all.
2025 Bitcoin Pizza Day is going to hit hard, & wild!

Spritz is a good option to check out too!
Waiting for the first presidential debate where they say please show us your receiving address, or View Wallet, instead of IRS tax returns.
It’s probably one of my favorite apps to use, I previously used SHAREit but it’s become too bloated.
Even just as good if not better than NordVPNs file sharing as well.
I hope LocalSend enables cloud, or online sharing, a really good tool overall though.
It would probably operate off a mesh system then.
I’m one of those people who mined Bitcoin before I understood it.
I have it on one of my old hard drives so I’m forced to HODL.
