they ask you to suspect your rational faculty
to pretend you cannot recognize the obvious
yeah and if we could have privacy without the bloat, i wouldn’t oppose it, but that privacy comes with a cost currently, it risks decentralization
I don’t disagree: ”Monero is superior for private transacting right now.”
that’s a fact.
but again, that proves the point: mistaking accident for essence
Monero trades risk of privacy concerns for risk of centralization.
it’s an admission of not understanding the problem satoshi was solving for.
Trust is the problem, and he solved it with decentralization, thats why it a contradiction of first principles to make the trade
in a sentence: cash presupposes money
Satoshi knew this. That’s one of the things in the “if you don’t get it, he doesn’t have time to explain it” bucket
no, i’m not conflating accidents and essence. no confusion here.
ask yourself what is more important, which one is primary: the road or the car?
it’s not to say there is not some mutual relation between the two, but if there are no cars, there are no roads.
yes, cars benefit from better roads, but what is being transported on the road is primary.
if ur not developing or advocating for more privacy focused layer 2, and just shilling monero, you cannot be taken serious as your actions don’t align with ur purported objectives
Just cause we got on the #Bitcoin life boat, doesn’t mean we don’t have to row.

it’s even worse than “stacked” cause that implies a winner.
petty tyrants think they gaming the system to their advantage, but they are still in chains, even if their chains are gilded
As I’m going back through all my research highlights for citations, one thing is undeniable:
none of our “modern” problems are new. humans have always been trying to alter the objective fabric of reality, and are 0 for.
Aristotle didn’t have to deal with The Fed, but the same type of retard that exists today existed back then.
Privacy for "p2p electronic cash" is not a shiny feature. It's a core requirement of cash.
It also directly affects it's fungibility and censorship resistance if Bitcoin.

it’s hair length, eye color, height, weight. an accidental attribute that admits of more or less.
those things don’t define what it means to be human.
the same way privacy doesn’t define money. is privacy a a feature, sure, but it’s not “a core requirement”
whatever is in one’s ass is private, who cares.
if we care about privacy, which i would agree is not a bad thing in itself, then we wouldn’t pump privacy into a base layer shit coin.
if we cared about privacy, we wouldn’t pump developer layer 2s
u build accidents on essence, not swap’em
the right direction, exactly
if “morality” isn’t grounded in objective reality, it’s not morality
objective reality, the OG immutable
that perfectly explains why society is tearing at the seams, the fiat is not fungible, not egalitarian, the value of a dollar changes as a product of its proximity to the printing machine.
without fair exchange, nothing holds society together.
“It’s the ability to pay people back proportionally that holds society together…. exchange is what holds them together.”
Aristole - Nicomachean Ethics, V, 5,1133a
Ethics drives Economics.
Morality drives money.
It goes all the way back.

no one wants too many friends on the fence
oh look, a shiny new crypto
so many features
shitcoins themselves are based on a metaphysical fallacy: they mistake accident for essence.
it would be like saying anything with blue eyes is a human being.
beyond retarded
It took over 4 years since getting out of the Army, away from the grind, but my body is healed.
I feel better than I was in my 20s.
Faster, stronger, leaner.
Get a little better each day.
