Are you this stupid Saberhagen?!

Or are you just marketing Monero.

Or both? 😂

I'm turning 28 this but I'm tired of keeping track of my age, can I just make it simpler, and round up to 30 since I'm essentially that age anyways mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually?

I'm actually thinking of trying out bisq or something like this. IDK how it'll work exactly but it's worth the education and I've always wanted to try pure p2p. It's not a lot of money <$50 but in my currency, I could go for a lekker braai with that cash and close the silly TansferWise account.

What do you mean by a 'territory'? Is this some kind of channel, directory, chat group, etc on an online platform?

I see DarthCoin has visited both your posts so you know you're saying something right lmao

That person is probably the most smoothybrain moron in Bitcoin

I've been on nostr for about a week.

In that time I've observed an argument between two camps.

LN vs Monero.

I've observed some issues with this argument that will result in it never being resolved. For LN advocates, take note.

Follow me ⤵️

1. LN advocates saying "find my transaction". This is problematic because this is something a nation state or WoS COULD do... But not me. So stop asking. We get that LN is a network. Also what about receiver privacy? Which is distinct from senders. Is everyone (and every LN flavor) using trampoline, MPP, blinded routes, taproot etc.? See argument number 3.

2. LN advocates talking about Bitcoin being a better store of value than monero. Sure. Okay. But I'm not convinced this is compelling. First of all, most people on nostr actually use bitcoin as a SoV already, so it's a moot point. Plus, the LN vs monero argument is about payments anyway. Eg the BEST way to make LN is custodially anyway, and most people say, "don't worry, I only have a small amount with custodians, for use as a proxy for receiving or to spend more easily." Okay, well many people use monero similarly, only holding enough for some payments for the next month or so. But at least with monero one has the benefit of not relying on a custodian.a

3. It's actually impossible to argue with someone about LN because of how many ways it can be run. Fully custodially or super hardcore mode. And each one has problems. But this makes it effectively impossible to argue against because the goal posts can just keep shifting. I call this the infinite edge case problem.

4. LN advocates need to think about why DNMs have no desire to receive LN payments. If LN gets good enough from a UX and DEFAULT privacy perspective, it might see more adoption by privacy advocates.

As if a DNM wants to manage the help tickets that would flood in from the barrage of people complaining about failed payments.

5. Anecdotally, I remember during the high fee environment I got really into the idea of only using LN.

So I set up Blixt and got tons of inbound liquidity (which cost me over 200,000 sats), only to have constant issues with RoboSats and payment failures. It's NOT a panacea when one tries to do it self sovereignly.

And IF ASINQ or WoS or LNbig are always one hop away we need to really ask ourselves if we have the privacy we think we do. Or are we trusting these super nodes to be benevolent.

This is a stupid argument because buying Bitcoins not tied to your identity is superior to everything, including monero.

Gooooood Morning 🧡⚡

If one wishes to take their bitcoin dark, and away from Coinbase custody, what are the steps to do this? Fine with paying a one time tax on gains.

At this point the income tax needs to be halted immediately. The mishandling of American taxpayer money that is being laid bare is beyond comprehension.

The people, at the very least, deserve a break from the madness until we figure out what’s going on.
