This is a shape of things to come. What country is this?

Running Signal and SimpleX on #CalyxOS and #nostr on desktop only. Anything #Bitcoin and #Monero is run via TailsOS.

The result is not getting bollock cancer as my phone is never near me or switched to airplane mode. Also heaps of free time to be more productive or be outside.

Agreed but you shouldn't have to use any tools. One slip up and you can undo all your previous privacy gains. Save in Bitcoin, spend in Monero. It's a pretty simple life under their method.

This is a step backwards. Ooendimes are great for gifts and satscards also for a cheaper alternative but you've got to sweep those funds sometime and when you do you have to isolate those UTXOs as you are faced with the same privacy issues are before.

This is why bitcoin is a near perfect SoV and a far from perfect MoE.

I don't see any major downside to hedging that sort of risk in #monero. In extreme times, the flight to personal safety lies in contrarianism, not conformity.

I stack equal units of #xmr as I do #btc due to the former being such a small percentage allocation of capital. Yes, there are tradeoffs, now it's not a shitcoin.

Bitcoin will likely never have solid privacy and most of the ardent bitcoin zealots that I know use Monero even though they'd never publically admit it.

Do you ever really own it in the first place?

As long as you're denominating in sats then card cold cash have it's uses when transacting in normieville.

Goodbye Bitcoin Magazine and Twitter. Enter NBB and Nostr. Steamlined and saving me hours per day of noise.

Just listening to this now Peter. You gunna ditch the blue check and pick up your free cap?

Hahaha, love it. Maxis just can't stand monero as it challenges their love of their own bag.

I read an awesome post last week by some coinjoin fanatic but wouldn't use a "shitcoin" like monero to get the job done but spent far too much time, effort and sats trying to fit a round peg through a square hole. Anything I can do onchain I do with monero and sleep easy at night that the taxman isn't going to come calling in a few years.

Maxis come out the closet in the end, they all do.

...and whole #moneros. Class of 21-23 sucking off Saylor and Blackrock that are just wanting for the network to be captured so they can have paper gains on paper.

Let's not fuck around and find out. Stack bitcoin and stack monero. It's cheap as hell to do both and anything less is reckless in this political climate.

Please clarify. Are you saying Bitcoin is dying out because all glassnode stats I'm looking at indicate adoption is actually going up across all metrics disregarding price.

Also Fedi is a better what? Layer 2? Fedi is just one of many scaling solutions that bitcoin will need to fulfill the dream of becoming a global digital money. Fedi tradeoffs though are deep and wide and if you fall down that particular rabbit hole you end up finding #monero at the bottom.

Both feed off each other (BTC and XMR) and neither can survive long term without the other imo.
