It's called spending. Michael Saylor wouldn't understand

So that's Mullvad to Obscura to Mullvad. Three hops.

Gboard WITHOUT network permissions I meant... Typo

OG way is Gboard with network permissions.

But I just found out that these exist and want to try them. Supposed to be good. Futo and Heliboard. FOSS I believe

It's 🔥

Keep building shit.

Because one day, someone will knock on the door and pay you to build shit for them.

And they'll pay in #bitcoin

Don't forget Cuba did it repeatedly lol

This dude knows what's up.

Interesting that, "accepted universally" is your reason dollars are better.

At the beginning, no one accepted bitcoins, that didn't mean it didn't have the inherent properties to be better money than the dollar.

As for merchants accepting monero. They do.

I've never seen anything for #Bitcoin as comprehensive as this is for #Monero. It'd be cool if someone could build this for bitcoiners.

Maybe... I find it hard to believe that someone could look at the US dollar and think it's better than monero... But sure, one could have that thought for sure.

It would show a lack of understanding of the origin and ethos of monero though IMO.

I think the fact that monero has been delisted and detectives and police hate tracking monero, as well as it's dominance in dark web markets are all marks in it's favor

Huge if true

Damn, I need to move back to Amethyst. Iris is just... Not great... Someone else mentioned this to me too... Has it happened more than once? Was trying to get nostr off my phone to be more productive... But looks like Iris just doesn't cut it

Interesting take. And a fascinating one because it seems to fit more in the NGU crowd narrative than anything else.

I see Bitcoin and Monero as a revolt against a broken monetary system and corrupt government.

Both SHOULD be being used to support local markets in a way that circumvents banks and dollars (or other government currencies).

I do agree that they are "competing", but I don't really see where the harm arises?

For the longest time (even as the use of paper dollars grew which was originally silver (NOT GOLD) backed, and then suddenly in 1970 backed only by government best wishes) we had staunch supporters of gold and silver coinage. A dollar BTW is technically a certain weight of silver (again, not gold).

Silver and gold are elementally different, yet both can be used in a market place... Silver being better for lower value goods whilst gold was better for higher value goods.

Monero arose from a group of people that noted that Bitcoin devs had no intention of improving base layer privacy. And so yes, they are distinctly and elementally different. Monero IS NOT a Bitcoin clone, it IS different. Yet, as you mention, it (sometimes) fills the same role.

I actually think you're more aligned psychologically with Monero users who are spenders and obsessed with privacy, like cash and gold coin users are. MAAAANY in my estimation of bitcoin "users" are actually holding IOUs, paper bitcoin, HODLing, investing, TradFi NGU bros...

So again, yes they can be competing for the same purpose of spendable money, but I don't see that as a bad thing. I save in Bitcoin (because it seems to store value better), but when I check out with a person or online vendor I am able to pay at any given moment in onchain/lightning bitcoin or monero... And I like that flexibility...

Plus I like how cypherpunk I feel spending onchain monero versus bitcoin, knowing that most of the transaction is obfuscated. Versus the 100% transparent onchain footprint of bitcoin. (let's face it, with AI, all it takes is one slip-up or unmasked home IP address and a home string of bitcoin transactions and wallets can suddenly be bagged, tagged and labelled as _________ (fill in Legal name here) and subsequent IRS fraud or evasion charges could be pursued...)

Help!

Shill your favorite circular economy bitcoin or monero pleb that is helping to promote NOT USING FIAT for spending. I'm doing a series of articles on spending and want to start with these awesome people.

I can already think of a few...
