I created this article yesterday - started the work talking to different AI models - including the new one from nostr:nprofile1qqs8msutuusu385l6wpdzf2473d2zlh750yfayfseqwryr6mfazqvmgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vp39eukz6mfdphkumn99e3k7mf0y267a2 - while riding my bike, then finished it after dinner.

Inflation is a killer if it’s high, and it’s likely going to be higher than what we’ve had in the U.S. the past 30 years.

Here’s a key point:

“The difference between 2% inflation and 5% inflation over 50 years is the difference between needing $270,000 per year at age 100 and needing over $1,000,000 per year to maintain the same lifestyle. That’s not a rounding error. That’s the difference between leaving money to your kids and running out at 85.”

It was fun to put together. At some point I’ll try to create a model for how much bitcoin you need to retire.

I hope the last day is 2026 is a nice one for you!

Wish everyone good health, peace, freedom and prosperity in 2026.

Bitcoin has no second best.

Bitcoin is THE Global Most Secure Decentralized Unconfiscatable Peer-to-Peer Scarce Hard Sovereign Freedom Money, The Greatest Store of Value and The Strongest Hope for Humanity.

Monero is not money, its wannabe privacy token. Yet is has leaks and some users have been traced and arrested https://moneroleaks.xyz/

Lightning has comparable if not better privacy and is at least real money.

Monero isn't money because it had 15+ Hard Forks and changed its algos multiple times. It also had two chain reorg attacks, its near impossible to be audited and has indefinite inflation.

A key aspect of money is fungibility https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/money.asp which Bitcoin lacks due to the bifurcation of "tainted" UTXOs and "clean" UTXOs. Tainted coins can't be used on any exchanges and many merchants won't take them. Gold, cash and monero are all fungible. Every Monero UTXO has no traceable history thus mamingnit as fungible as a gold atom. Privacy is crucial for money.

That is wrong. Bitcoin is fungible money. Bitcoin does not need third party. It is peer-to-peer Freedom Money and its fungible.

I have nothing against Jameson Slopp investing more in Monero. He can bring Ordinals, NFTs, jpegs, arbitrary data and much more to Monero and you can have a lot of fun there.

Looked through that link you sent. The ones pertaining to fee fingerprinting are resolved in every wallet I can think of. Most don't even permit custom fees.

For Edge wallet, yeah you share your private view key which links your transactions together. This is an identical privacy tradeoff to Electrum which is a ubiquitous light wallet server used on nearly every Bitcoin wallet. The difference is in Monero only Edge wallet uses it and its well known in the community and in that software the tradeoffs that need to be commited for the enhanced performance.

The main point in that site that is a genuine attack vector is poisoned outputs in the ring signature. See nostr:nprofile1qqsdzvcpujvlj2ymrzxwc2nx99gh0x75c3dsvp32xhdzvttg73xpmgspzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme08un5pz s attack of the poisoned outputs series for details on this and how to mitigate https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk4xsazIq6TZUKDScrxFjhajOKTlHknRx

In summary, any UTXO that came from an exchange should be sent to a private wallet then sent to a new address before spending to add another ring signature between the one with a poisoned output from the exchange. This largely defeats the problem.

There's a major cryptographic upgrade to ring signatures next year called FCMP++ (Full Chain Membership Proofs) which uses ALL past outputs as the anonymity set instead of the current 16. This makes any deanonymization attack via outputs IMPOSSIBLE.

Lightning has incomparable privacy. It relies entirely on network level privacy which is already highly susceptible to timing attacks due to the hub-and-spoke model. Monero has both strong on-chain and network level privacy. Even if Dandelion++ is broken and a transaction is traced to having originated from a particular node, sender, reciever and amount privacy is still preserved. With lightning if a similar, and arguably easier, timing attack is performed than the entire transaction is revealed including amounts, sender and reciever. This is fundamentally weaker privacy and there's no convincing argument or even scenario in which this is stronger. Take that back, if Edge wallet is malicious and you're using Edge wallet (the easiest least private Monero wallet) and comparing that with an LND node spun up on a VPS accessed over Tor, paid in Monero with a node opened up to a smaller onion only peer, with a coinjoined or non-KYC UTXO THEN in this case lightning is better. That's the beat Lightning case and worse Monero case. In ANY OTHER case Monero has vastly better privacy its not comparable. While also being easier to use than Lightning mind you.

I have said this before.

Privacy is not the top priority feature that makes the money real, hard and valuable.

Its a good feature but not the top priority.

Enjoy your Monero. I will enjoy my Bitcoin.

Yes I am stuck with Bitcoin Culture and Bitcoin Values.

They are the opposite of those of shitcoiners. The death spiral is the slavery of the shitcoiners, the shitcoin scams, the rug pulls, the web3 clownery and the rest of the cryptoshit casino gulag manipulations.

You can't convince me that Monero is money because it had 15+ Hard Forks and changed its algos multiple times. It also had two chain reorg attacks, it near impossible to be audited and has indefinite inflation.

As for Ethereum shitcoin? Its created out of thin air, centralized SLAVERY scam. The fact that fucking shitcoin is trying to integrate itself to Bitcoin does not make it better in any way.
