True, but like nostr:npub159wczz79n0x95p4vq5rggdkhz36u3852n8xfwv3u4ehdylrnr97qnpcsm3 says I believe we can achieve similar levels of privacy by leveraging BTC tools properly, such as lightning.

it seems like he had a decent track record to me. what reasons did you have to dislike him?

AFAIK there is no way to verify total supply which means there could easily be groups printing it or hoarding premines just like the Fed. You can't have your cake (privacy) and eat it too (verifiability). Gold is doomed vs. Bitcoin because of this, and I don't see how Monero is different. XMR/BTC seems to agree.

In general I think privacy is great so if you want to bet on Monero that's fine. There can be a case for both maybe, but Lightning etc. can be highly 'safe' or however you want to define it. Bitcoin obviously is the SoV king either way.

OK, so I offer logic and you offer GFY. Thanks for validating me

good luck verifying total supply. you traded the coin part for privacy when you could have just used Bitcoin without kyc

You say that as if those are the only prerequisites for money. They're not, and you fail at the other aspects of money compared to bitcoin. There is no way to verify total supply. People could be creating more. That is the whole reason bitcoin exists is to stop the infinite printing vampirism. Just learn how to use bitcoin pseudonymously. You can be anon just fine.

There is always something in common. They like sportsball because Mr. Strongguy heroically supports his team. You like btc because it heroically supports humanity.

congrats I guess. most cults and psychopaths will drown you in praise and love. I'm sure they have lots of reasons to want Western friends. time will tell how sweet your deal really is

Agreed, especially in an ultimate, fundamental, abstract, or metaphysical sense. However, speaking practically, nature is bound by the law of necessity and it's incumbent upon man to transmute that into freedom through directed action.

Freedom can never be given. It can only be taken.
