Calling Monero a shitcoin is really ignorant, number one, and number two, have you considered that ecash is a shitcoin? It's just an IOU for bitcoin.
Are you really saying you prefer random digital bits from random people all over the globe, because somehow indirectly it's related to Bitcoin, even though it's ruggable, just so you don't have to use a different coin?
Peak dogma.
Did you just assume Mars is a planet?
That's very astrophobic of you!
Oh no, we can't have that! Offending people is so offensive and, like, literally criminal man.
I guess this means "free" psychotherapy for you and the gulag for me!
Well. The bright side is that it's getting harder and harder for normies to ignore the real nature of those fuckers 🔪
Sorry, was that haaaayte speech?
DeFi under attack!
Who cares you say? Well, the shit you do care about is next. So root for the underdog.
--Uniswap got hit with a Wells Notice
--SEC claims it's an unregistered securities exchange and the Uniswap interface is an unregistered securities broker-dealer
--SEC claims UNI is an investment contract
Uniswap responds this is false. Direct Quote:
"These assertions assume that value represented in a specific digital file format is a security – and that the SEC can unilaterally extend the definitions of exchanges, brokers and contracts to the point of meaninglessness. A token is a file format, like a PDF. The Protocol is a general purpose computer program that anyone can use and integrate, like TCP/IP. And the hundreds of thousands of users who received UNI tokens for their participation in the protocol’s early days received the token for free, with no contract, and without expectations of profit solely from the efforts of Uniswap Labs."
They are fighting it in court with:
--The lawyer who won the Ripple case
--2nd Different lawyer who won the Grayscale case
The gloves are off! What do you think will happen?

Same goes for #monero
If you can see why privacy and anonymity are important, and you would like to see that on Bitcoin one day, consider giving your attention to the shenanigans surrounding Monero and so-called "privacy coins" in general.
We're lost if not enough people can understand why the government is going hard against privacy and not enough people realize something has to be done.
Normalize #privacy in every way you can. Privacy is not a crime, and tyrants can go fuck themselves.
I think Ted is outright wrong, Hal is right, but what he says is just a possibility, not a certainty.
Computers are tools, like every tools they can be used for good or evil.
But complex tools that they are, they vastly exceed the mental capacity for most people to understand.
Tyrants and authoritarians don't understand computers either (in general), but they know enough about it that they know the masses of clueless plebs can be much more controlled with this technology.
And they have the money and political power to push this down on everyone's throat.
Guess it's up to the honeybadgers now..
Where exactly is the" me "part 🤔 https://video.nostr.build/0726921ec9589a635e928ccb91f2debb1b3c5c33106543ea8050cc3ea635c6f7.mp4
It isn't, the ego is humanity's biggest scam 😂
No idea, I just noticed a small typo in one word and corrected it. I'm using Amethyst. Not sure how it looks in other clients or even how it looks when someone edits *my* posts and proposes an update.
Not bad at all!
Tor is getting worse.

-Mixtral 8x22B Instruct–Mistral AI's flagship FOSS model. This is not an uncensored variant like our other models (yet).
-The Mixtral 8x7B and 8x22B models are now capable of searching the Internet. Try to ask for the current bitcoin price or the population of a country.
-Added API endpoints for fetching the current balance and creating a Lightning invoice for adding funds - see https://unleashed.chat/api/docs
-Billing is now based on the length of the response (output tokens) rather than generation time.
Can this be run self-hosted, specifically the internet-enabled functionality?
Say hello to https://silentpayments.xyz/
Wanting to learn more about Silent Payments, see which wallets support them, or find out how to integrate them into your wallet?
I've built out a website with all of that info and more to do what I can to speed up Silent Payments adoption. 
Hmm, isn't it trivial to find out the actual receiving address by doing timing analysis + knowing the exact amount?
"AriaVPN recommends #monero (XMR) as the preferred payment method. Monero offers unparalleled privacy and anonymity through advanced cryptography. By accepting Monero payments, we reinforce our commitment to protecting user privacy beyond our VPN service."
Based.
Not sure how helpful it is to advertise Monero as a tool for tax evasion.
Monero just keeps the users' privacy, whether they want to break the law or not is another question.
But the point stands, that is not what it is /for/.
p2p > cex for sure, but kyc+cex + no privacy + no anonymity (retroactively eliminated on deposit, and inexistent after withdrawal) is a lot worse than kyc+cex + privacy + anonymity.
Which of course is why a certain coin has been getting delisted left and right.
I think you have it backwards.
It is the globalist undemocratic & unelected surveillance state that implemented AML/KYC, not AML/KYC suddenly enabling mass-surveillance.
