Agree with you. Just different use cases. Bitcoin or Monero can't do it all. Spread focus too thin between many things and you'll suck at everything.

I partially disagree with comparing Monero to Lightning. You're comparing an L1 to an L2 instead of another L1. And with that comes many downsides to Lightning (requires active node to secure your funds, less secure, requires funding channels to use, centralized hubs, only the illusin of final settlement, not truly p2p, etc, etc)

All without ever achieving solid privacy in the first place. Reciever privacy is bad and amounts can be derived by a passive adversary. Sender privacy is ok.

In a high fee environment, Lightning isn't that cheap, and unexpected forced closed channels make paying high on chain fees unavoidable. npub169n9eaf0t20j0nefwqlqtnqcpsym22k2nw6e3tevtrrru4et7wrsh5w47v

I like how we pay the bank for having our money and when we want some we have to pay again and if we want to pay someone else we have to pay for it too. 😂

Monero supply is unlimited, there's hard forks every six months, it's more unsecure and mediocre to provide any meaningful privacy improvements.

But the only question really is, why would anybody store their wealth on something less secure and rely on weaker assurances? 🤔

Always good to hedge your bets wouldn’t you say?

Super interesting of confirmed.

Does Blixt support watch-only wallets?

Woah. So if I use Blixt (and enable Tor in the Blixt settings) for on-chain transactions, I am de facto using my own pruned node to send out the UTXO and verify that it lands in my cold storage address?

Any trade-offs here, compared to other mobile on-chain wallets?

Yes the kindle version is next up in the queue.

This is how I start my day 😉

I never eat before 12 o'clock. In the morning I drink only water. Right after I get up I drink the first glass. Then running, meditating....

Then at 12 o'clock I start with these beauties 😊😋

First the drink of turmeric, ginger, pepper and freshly squeezed lemon.

Then the nuts: Almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts (selenium suppliers).

Finally, the smoothie, today dark green:

Fresh fruit (today apple and mixed berries).

Kale(sometimes also ruccola or spinach)

Chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds

Pea protein, barley grass, spirulina

I do not use a ready-made powder, but mix everything individually.

I know that I am a freak 🫣

But I am convinced that what you add to your body is important. We have only this one body and try to treat it well in every possible way.

Of course, it's a lot of work and I'm excited to see how I can make it all work in our travels.

Try to take a few steps to un-brainwash yourself.

They can't tell us what to think, but they can tell us what to think about. And within that small corridor, they can establish a good vs evil narrative. This warps your world view, no matter what "side" you are on.

In reality, there are no "sides".

So how do you stay sane in an insane world?

- Don't engage when you get emotionally triggered, and don't come to sudden conclusions about "current things" that you are not well versed in. You don't always have to have a strong opinion about stuff.

- Stop consuming content from channels that have a proven track record of psychological nudging such as corporate media, statist communication, and centralised social media.

- Curate your feed. Treat your mind how you treat your body. Don't feed your brain with constant garbage.

- Don't believe authoritative sources. Always try to get the full picture, instead of just leaning on one source, such as government, academia, or other institutions. Always ask for verification and proof.

- Cultivate and rely on strong bedrock principles, then you are less easily swayed by nonsense, fear and other feelings. Develop your inner compass.

- Choose what you want to focus on, consciously, for your long-term mental and physical health.

Lastly, someone said, if you get angry about something or someone; wait 24 hours until you respond. If you are still angry after 24 hours, then you can engage in a more conscious way.

I'm not perfect, and I'm constantly make mistakes, and its part of the journey. Failing is the greatest teacher.

This looks great, im getting a copy 👍🏼

I like lion’s mane but some say there are downsides, so it should probably be cycled.

Magnesium and theanine are my top two.

Listening to “No Agenda” is the best way to be entertained and protect your brain against bullshit propaganda.
