Thank you :)💜

We all know that society is falling, the question i ask, how much more time we will need to live in this clown world for people wake up? 👀

Hodling #bitcoin makes you a more discerning consumer and investor.

On a bitcoin standard, prices continually decrease over time while quality actually improves.

Imagine that.

That is not my workflow or my experience. There are many guides out there on how to swap btc for monero privately. It's no more difficult to do than purchasing non-kyc sats on robosats etc and the privacy guarantees on a protocol level make sure that transactions are actually private.

This is not the case with lightning. Sending from your own node is private by default, but receiving is not. The overwhelming majority use lightning custodialy and many who don't, don't configure their nodes properly for privacy so there is a high chance transactions are not private.

I believe in supporting and testing lightning, ecash, esats (fedimint) etc. But I also see it for what it is, a "don't keep anything more in here that you are willing to lose" work in progress. Eg: Lightning has a more complex code than Monero and so a larger attack surface. There are also very valid concerns about its scalability.

I find for most people, managing lightning liquidity in a truly private way is a headche to say the least. When you can open/sustain a channel... RE: the context of this post.

To each their own I guess, but I stand by my statement that Monero is an easy to use privacy by default currency that I highly recommend for most people.

It's the perfect complement to BTC's store of value.

I know how to use btc privately, but it's not easy to do and one mistake blows privacy. I recommend Monero for most people. BTC is a great store of value, but it's a privacy nightmare that needs a solid L2 solution (still in the works) to be fungible and private.

Keep stacking BTC, but where privacy is important, I recommend most people use Monero, a true privacy by default CURRENCY.

It is breathtaking how much Bitcoin attracts the best people.

Most of my life, most of my friends were books. It could have taken me a decade or two to know the wonderful people that I know now, but because of the pull of Bitcoin (and Nostr), I hardly had to try.

When you see the same north star as other people, all the barriers of distrust that you would otherwise be carrying melt away. There is, of course, a whole universe in every one of us, and yet, the minute that you meet another Bitcoiner, you know some important things about them already: they, too, have been doing their part in the same battle to freedom, because, like you, they have a newfound hope that the world can be much, much better.

Grateful for all of you, you world-changing masses of courage, passion and hope. ✨🧡

I see Art as a process, a form of activism and I love how eARTh and HeART both contain the word art.

Confusing risk with volatility is why normies will stay poor forever
