I'm a teacher.

I use AI extensively.

I just made a presentation about AI and gave it to 100 coworkers including my bosses...

I got a personal message from the head of the school that night telling me great job.

Was approached by almost 10 separate people giving me glowing reviews.

I used zero AI to do that presentation.

Why? Because I really cared about it and wanted it perfect.

I write a blog.

I put hours into each post.

Do I use AI?

No.

Why?

Because I want it to be perfect.

I am BETTER than AI. At some things.

Like being me.

AI hasn't mastered being me yet.

Use AI.

I do.

But sometimes...

Don't.

It pays off.

I'm back. Last one. The most basic argument.

>If I can pay my barber in bitcoin without you knowing that I did so it’s pretty privat for me. Ever heard about ecash ?

That's true when you use VISA too... Of course when you add trusted third parties you can get additional privacy...

6th one says Bitcoin is trustless. Haha, ecash isn't though is it? Can one be rugged?

Literally all the privacy gains of ecash can be had on the base layer with monero...

Using a 2nd layer because the first layer isn't private enough is funny.

You can trace a UTXO all the way back to the Coinbase transaction from the miner... That's not private. Imagine if everyone in the world got paid in bitcoins. That's the problem Samourai Wallet was solving for. Forward privacy...

Monero solves this on the base layer. And transactions are cheaper to boot. Ecash is not necessary to get privacy. It's an additional attack surface. Waste of programming and dev time. Basically broadcasting that LN is insufficient.

I LoLed at the first one. Bitcoin is private. If that were true, Samourai Wallet devs wouldn't be facing 25 years for trying to augment it's privacy to bring it up to par with cash. Right now Bitcoin is unfortunately not fungible or private.
