Monero dropped about 40% following the announcement of Binance delisting.

I love this #Monero crash. Have you guys gotten your cheap #XMR?

Yep, it’s a fallacy to believe that the quality of the discussions on #Twitter would improve with #Musk takeover. The same opaque and algos are steering the debate.

Good diagram but the privacy claims are erroneous. For person to person transactions, #CBDC will actually offer more #privacy than #Bitcoin. However don’t expect your CBDC transactions to be hidden from the government.

I understand the points you’re making but I still stands behind what I previously said.

Mostly I disagree that #privacy on #Bitcoin is not complicated and good enough. Although, privacy on #Monero isn’t perfect either, it is much more accessible for the majority of users. Privacy on Bitcoin requires a greater technical understanding and advanced setup (like running your lightning node, using private channels). The fact that Monero is the choice number one for dark markets and ransomware attest to this.

Currently, there is no #blockchain that has proven to scale globally. Monero could have particular challenges in scaling globally but so Bitcoin has its too. You suggest to use lightning/liquid for low fees but would you recommend to keep high amounts on lightning/liquid for extended period of time? I don’t think so. In the end you’re constantly at risk to be exposed to the high fees market which is an issue for the payment use case.

There are risks associated with owning your life savings in any kind of financial instruments. I think your concerns that you’ll lose it because of a bad Monero update are overblown considering Monero’s track record. Bitcoin has also its own set of risks which can be argued to be increasing as a greater share of the money supply and ecosystem is being controlled by #TradFi actors. Especially in #crypto it’s essential to monitor the evolution of the project.

But to address your initial question which is “why you would use Monero if you’re not seeking to escape state-level surveillance?”. The answer is that Monero is the most accessible option with high privacy guarantees for anyone seeking to transact privately over the internet.

Many VPNs and other privacy services accept #Monero. With built-in privacy and dynamic blocksize guaranteeing low fees, #XMR is a superior medium of exchange than #Bitcoin. Privacy on Bitcoin is complicated and high fees don’t make it a viable medium of payment for common purchases. I understand the case to hold Bitcoin as a way to preserve one’s wealth but the evolution (or stagnation) of #BTC development over the years made it lose its potential as a good medium of exchange. I don’t think this opinion is even a controversial anymore.

Interesting expose by David Martin on how the #Covid19 conspirators planned the #SarSCoV2 program and cover their traces. https://t.me/Dr_DavidMartinWorld/2115

Thanks for the great resources! Regarding Cloudflare, do you have any suggestion for users wanted to avoid their passwords being seen by Cloudflare. Is the only option to not browse websites using Cloudflare? Is there any easy way to block websites that use Cloudflare?

Do you have any other good documentaries or resources to share on the topic of #FreeEnergy ? I didn’t get a chance to do a deep dive on the topic and most of the resources are hard to vet. Here is a recent documentary I’ve found: https://youtu.be/mi55kH2rZOQ

Although many developers aren’t anonymous. And for those who are, they must have very tight opsec…

Proposed #DeFi regulations in a nutshell:

1) Identify who’s the most responsible for the project

2) Blackmail the heck out of him/her/them

3) Broadcast his/her/their punishment in the media so everybody else is scared to engage with DeFi

I hope not. Let’s keep #Monero ownership decentralized! #XMR #ETF

How would you describe #web3?

For me, web1 was the “knowledge web”, web2 is the “social web” and web3 will be the “sovereign web”.

#DeFi #Crypto

What do they mean by “offline payments”. I bet it’s the possibility to send/receive a payment in-person without having internet access. I don’t think it will provide greater privacy though. #CBDC

Good breakdown of how insane is Warren’s #crypto bill.

Great discussion about how the US #CBDC would be implemented. The US Central Bank also released a research paper about the project Hamilton that gives clues on how a US CBDC could look like. I wonder how this paper intersect with your research. Here is a good video about the project Hamilton: https://youtu.be/3lUs-MUnwqA

4) The SEC and insiders are conducting stress tests on what it takes to keep the price under control following the official announcement of #BitcoinETF approval.

All populations injected with #mRNA shots are in the same situation… Immune systems have been compromised and organs intoxicated with the spike protein.

nostr:npub1pngq7wrz3u00zdtjrhunm9vy5s8nhvk0g0mg6vqlqgwavvw8f74snwl5ms will interview Paul Sztorc. I hope they will discuss privacy on #Monero versus privacy on a #Bitcoin private #drivechain.

What option is the most plausible?

1) The SEC’s X account got hacked and the hacker waited the last moment to profit from his hack.

2) The intern who manages the SEC’s X account scheduled the official announcement at the wrong time but Gensler blames it on a hack.

3) The SEC and a group of insiders conspired to manipulate the market for profit while using the hack story as plausible deniability.
