I feel like #Bitcoin is worshipped too much in my opinion when I think that #Monero would be a much better option due to the extra privacy features and inclusivity it has.

Don't get me wrong, I am not implying that everyone should stop investing into BTC. I still support it. The only reason I really believe that BTC should still be supported today is because of its value.

I like to think of it this way: BTC is digital gold, and XMR is digital silver. XMR has privacy features such as ring signatures and stealth addresses, which is the biggest reason why I prefer it over BTC. Yes I know BTC is "pseudoanonymous" but its incredibly easy to trace BTC transactions in 2024. All transactions are literally public record on a blockchain! To me, BTC is just one massive honeypot waiting to be exposed.

Another reason for XMR is the fact that it can mined from any kind of device to really make a profit, so there isn't any concern of XMR elitism.

What do you guys think?

New here. How do I find more likeminded individuals working on reclaimjng their digital freedom? #introductions

I'm 99℅ sure my shit isn't broadcasting, or isn't sufficiently, but idk what to do or even how to check

IMO, the sweet spot is believing in an afterlife that is made better by how much you improve this world. If you view the money you leave to your children/inheritors as part of a lasting good in the world, it powers a drive to achieve greatness in this life too.

The US eliminating taxation on using #bitcoin as medium of exchange would be a billion times better than strategic bitcoin reserve, yet all the statist cucks want the reserve more. Makes me wonder.

Let me see

Do people who believe in an afterlife have the ultimate long time horizon (low time preference)?

Welcome!

Welcome!

Good morning..first day here first note I've replied...🫂🫂⚡

Good morning fellow surfers of the freedom relays and a happy #coffeechain to you. We are trying out a local coffee roaster that I found at the polar express Christmas village last night with the family and we definitely need strong coffee today having a teething baby up all night. Have a great Sunday. #gm #plebchain

GM and PV plebs!

Been on nostr for a year and a half. I’ve had a lot of good conversations and had many questions answered so my experience isn’t in line with yours. Sometimes notes fall that here. No algorithm and low amount of daily users is likely the cause.

I say don’t let it discourage you. I’ve found nostr users helpful and loquacious and have gotten answers from technical people many times even though I’m not a dev.

People suck, idk what else to say. If Digit ever gets here it will get a lot better

2-3 years ago i called myself a socialist. i’ve always wanted equal opportunities for all and for wealth to be more evenly distributed and in my idealistic academic bubble brain, this was how to achieve it.

thankfully since 2022 i’ve learned more about how the government is actively and constantly fucking over the general population via devaluing our currency with the money printer, sending our tax money overseas or using it to create missiles that are ultimately sent overseas, restricting basic constitutional rights and invading our privacy in the name of “security,” creating barriers to business growth/development via ~environmental regulations~, etc.

while i haven’t taken self initiative to learn all i can about #bitcoin, thankfully my partner is passionate about it and has spent countless hours explaining to me how it works and how it can and will change the world (and already is).

i grew up in a poor family in a very poor, rural, uneducated town. i’ve spent my entire life waiting for some kind of revolution, for something to come along to finally help the working class rise up and empower ourselves. i spent practically all of my college years learning about and standing behind various social justice movements, but none of the solutions presented to me ever truly clicked or felt sustainable long-term.

now that i’ve been orange-pilled, i finally have the hope i’ve been searching for. i can feel macro-level change happening. the helplessness i feel when i hear about global catastrophes or governmental oppression is equally matched by the hope i feel when another country adopts bitcoin, or another corporation decides to add bitcoin to its treasury, or when people crushed by hyperinflation use bitcoin to keep themselves afloat.

this has been long-winded and probably disorganized brain vomit but the point of it all is i’m grateful - for bitcoin, for my partner’s daily info dumping (and for his constant flow of bitcoin podcasts lol), for my willingness to listen and my receptivity to the knowledge presented to me, for the global revolution i can feel and see happening. the version of myself from 2-3 years ago would be so confused about present-day me’s mindset and beliefs - the change has been night and day. but i’m glad i finally got here.

i don’t like posting things like this because i’m not great at articulating my thoughts and because it makes me cringe at myself so thank you #nostr for giving me a space to do so with anonymity. and if you’ve read this far, thank you for using a few minutes of your time to read a little bit about my personal journey 🧡

Most people really think their government has their best interest at heart, this is how wonderfully deluded most people are
