Miners have to have incentives to mine the block your transaction is in .

An insecure network does not . GFY

The best part about #Lightning is that it proved that L2 payments is possible.

The worst part about #Lightning is that we'll probably have to replace it down the line.

Blixt Wallet + lightning box for receiving zaps is the best mobile wallet

I agree it's not perfect either. It has it's own problems. I just think it's a better tool for a specific job. But no tool solves every task.

Onramping thru CEXes is not a problem unique to Monero. That applies to any crypto. Buy P2P noKYC to avoid that.

Ya I would use a Monero drive chain if it gained adoption and didn't have any serious tradeoffs.

Just a quick message to bitcoiners. I’m a nobody, not someone with any influence or importance to any of you in the Bitcoin space, but just saying, three of the political candidates heavily promoted by many big time bitcoiners just so happens to be deeply supportive of Zionism. Maybe some of you are also, and that’s up to you, it’s a free planet, but I would like to just remind you of the lectures of Andreas Antonopolus. His message, which got me into Bitcoin, was that Bitcoin is not only an exit from the banks, it also was an exit from the current oppressive system and the governments behind it.

I’ve noticed more and more bitcoiners getting comfortable laying in bed with politicians. Be careful with that. Focus on the message and purpose of Bitcoin. It isn’t to perpetuate the same old 💩 we’ve been living the past couple hundred years, it’s supposed to take us away from tyranny. I just feel like maybe some have forgotten that part of the message.

Whether you believe Jews should or could have their own country, surely you cannot in good faith support the death of 15,000+ civilians in the space of a month. Bitcoin is about property rights and sovereignty, surely that includes the Palestinians as well? I find it an open contradiction to support the ethos of Bitcoin while at the same time supporting candidates who break that in one breath while waving the Bitcoin flag in the other. Surely your bitcoinism isn’t just about “inflating your bags” and getting in with the gov?!

Just my humble thoughts. No offence intended.

Get a wallet.

Write down 12 words.

Send and receive.

I don't think people need a PhD for this...

All the intellectual masturbation and word vomit online and podcasts only shows proof of LARP.

Keep it simple.

Unpopular opinion:

Bitcoin users shouldn't be required to read an encyclopedia library just to use it.

You still don't understand it's impossible for Bitcoin to be private.

For better or worse it's a public blockchain! 😂

Coinjoins don't make your transactions private. They obfuscate your identity (anonymity). But I can still see everything on the blockchain no matter how many times you coinjoin.

Average $5 fees *right now* guarunteed to rise as demand climbs for limited blockspace

Not even bringing up the issues of zero privacy and poor real world fungibility

Unless you plan on never using Bitcoin (neutering p2p electronic cash the literal title of the white paper) those are all serious problems

The choices aren't Bitcoin or Monero only. You can save with one and spend with the other. Don't save with Monero if you think that trend will continue. No one is forcing you to hold large amounts for long periods of time. That's your weird false dichotomy you can't get past.

Hello big guy, let's have a bet. You give me 1 BTC if it reaches $1M+ during 2024, I give you 0.05 BTC if it does not. What say you?

Dear #Bitcoin and #Lightning users,

Dear traders,

What is your mobile operating system?

Thats what maximalism does to people..

I never said that i dont have bitcoin, i have.

And i never said that Monero is a Bitcoin substitute because it isn’t.

My point is, for substitute of a bank account use Bitcoin, for substitute of fiat cash use Monero.
