Be honest. Who of you maxis watches the Monero chart more than once a week?

Shadowy Badger 1y ago

If by "the Monero chart" you are referring to XMR/BTC then yup, that's me

IT IS IMPORTANT TO CALL OUT BULLSHIT. WHEN YOU SEE WRONG, SHINE A LIGHT ON IT.

BUT DO NOT COMPLAIN. DO NOT BEG FOR CHANGE.

BUILD BETTER ALTERNATIVES. BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE.

Fountain with 10 sats per minute

Wow didn't know Fountain takes half in fees

Months after the Trump shooting, we know less about his shooter than we knew just days after the United CEO's assassin struck. How does that work?

The real world has gotten so strange that writing fiction almost feels more serious at this point.

About half of the macro stuff is on autopilot anyway, because nothing stops that train.

Memory holing is an issue. We need some kind of wikipedia style chronology of all these "stranger than fiction" events. Honestly it's hard to keep track of.

I have no problem with an increase of supply in currency, in fact it's the more reasonable option to do so.

A cap of 21 Million becomes an issue as more, and more coins are lost forcing people to not transact with it.

Whereas Monero will have a stable, and constant supply, valuable enough to hold but also replaceable enough that it can be spent, and replaced.

Monero has maintained, or increased in value gradually despite this.

I support the first, while Monetary Debasment is a problem in Fiat, I don't think that same problem is in Monero, I support Bitcoin as a tool to help fight against Monetary Debasement but over the long run, I think Monero is more practical choice in day to day exchange for the average person.

I think it's important to keep an open mind. Both BTC and XMR are experiments. It's not a given that either will succeed in what they set out to do.

But the good news is it gives us two experiments instead of one, and since we have two running, the odds that we succeed in the overall quest to separate money from state goes up a lot.

Currently I like using XMR as a pseudo BTC Layer 2, but I have concerns over its long term feasibility if most people don't use it as SoV

I can’t “stream sats” on when half of the money goes to lightning fees

Shadowy Badger 1y ago

Hard to believe half the money goes to fees. Where do you see that?

Replying to

Jordan S

I'm concerned about peer 2 peer digital cash, not speculative price.

Monero could go to $1 for all I care as long as the fundamental underlying technology is still the same, or better.

The ability to transact freely, easily, and privately is what matters to me.

Shadowy Badger 1y ago

Come to think of it, mthis is an interesting lens to view this from :

Choose either of the below. You can only choose one.

1. The ability to transact freely, easily, and privately.

3. The ability to save in a sound monetary base that doesn't get deflated away by the state.

Which way anon?

Replying to

Jordan S

Yes, you're not compromising anything.

Its privacy is enabled by default, so that means no whirlpool, no cash fusion, lightning, or other difficult to use protocols, Monero is ready to go without any extra steps.
