I used to think monero was better than bitcoin for privacy, but now I know monero is not necessary.

We can achieve privacy using chaumian e-cash instead of a blockchain. What's more, these e-cash solutions are interoperable with the lightning network.

The steel-man argument against this is that chaumian mints require some trust.

This is true, but Bitcoin is a peer to peer electronic cash system that requires no trust. We can trutnthst there will never be more than 21 million #bitcoin. Every other blockchain is an attempted breach of that trust, an attempt at debasing bitcoin the same way governments have debased gold by adding other metal to it.

That's my two sats.

I would rather trust a few thousand sats with an e cash provider than try to debase the p2p electronic cash system that bitcoin is.

In the Wealth of Nations Adam Smith talks about the debasement of currencies by governments all around the world. They achieved this by smelting different metals with gold, making each coin contain less and less gold over time.

I see all alt coins as an attempt to debase bitcoin, a peer to peer electronic cash system. My node does not accept these debasment coins.

I do view stablecoins a little differently however. For example, USDT is a digital representation of the dollar backed by the very financial instrument that is used to debase those dollars. I believe stablecoins are monetizing the debt, which debases fiat. This is not an argument for stablecoins, they're ust a little different.

I could be more rich in bitcoin than satoshi everytime I heard "now I know it's not necessary"

e-cash solutions are custodial and a mint provider still knows where fund goes (pretty like lightning) additionnaly of being an optionnal solution (not fixing Bitcoin).

If you complain of kyc shotguns on monero, it's a skill issue because you didn't used what the market offered. Use haveno-reto.com or unstoppableswaps.net

I might have an idea to wake up bitcoiners on a near situation in Europe.

Europe banned those PROTOCOLS (yes the math not the currency):

ring signatures

confidential transactions

stealth addresses

"I'm bitcoiner I dont care about monero problems"

Honestly, I dont care about those legal problems because I fight for freedom of everybody on this earth.

BUT

You, are using KYC providers right ? And this law was made to ban above monero, as a way to avoid improvement on protocols of other chains SUCH AS BITCOIN

AND WHAT FROM MONERO IS CURRENTLY USED BY BITCOIN AND ON THE MARKET ?

Silent Payments (stealth addresses)

Confidential Transactions (Liquid L2)

Do you start to realize now ?

Additionnaly of atomicswaps and haveno-reto.com, if you want to really impact the market, you need to know most of people are tracking their crypto prices on things like coinmarketcap and coingecko.

Those trackers, aren't tracking DEX and tracking CEXs with manipulated reserves, with leverage ect ect. But they lists few nonkyc exchanges where price can be impacted with less risks like kyc shotguns ect.. for example i'd advise tradeogre.

I *lot* of time heard from a lot of non monero people:

"Nothing happens in monero, it's annoying"

Then you might need to remind them how 2024 was rocky:

- OKX + Binance delisting

- Finnish feds tracing FUD (the deanonymized threat-actor in reality leaked his personal infos in a ransom archive so completely unrelated to monero).

- Spam attack

- LocalMonero.com closure

- Haveno-reto.com launches 2 weeks after like a community response

- botnets shutdown from feds dropping monero's hashrate, giving more opportunity for fair solo or p2pool.io mining.

- Announces about future FCMP++ integration to grow the anonset.

- chainalysis inefficient tools leaked (powered by malicious RPCs and insufficient decoy revealing because most of monero are bought without KYC)

- Kraken delistings in EU

We truly are the bleeding edge of censorship resistance.

Easy as running any node. Running an executable nothing more.

The new paradigm monero should reach during this economical decentralization phase, is being usable as an extension along crypto privacy tools to make monero purchasing more private.

For example: getting a MimbleWimble implementation in haveno to trade LTC for XMR, or paynyms for atomicswaps to CoinJoin your swap

Yeah I forgot, to receive funds lightning you must have funds before. Your "swap" won't work on-demand until youre using a custodial solution.

I stopped to use bitcoin the day they put my friend tdev in prison. Samourai has a great cypherpunk spirit that I wanted to believe in the bitcoin community.

But in reality, all bitcoiners (very specially those based in US) would spend their life to throw you behind bars if it could keep bitcoin regulated to fulfill their shitty hard money theory.

Satoshi designed bitcoin as a way to make honest coin creation but it gone turned as the whoppy woppy supa rare asset that shows how humans can submit themselves and going more dumb if that could pump their bags.

The famous day, where they hopes dollar collapsing, will not be in their favor. Because they're now beasts they wanted to beat.

You seen how bitcoin reacts everytime the global panic is here and you also sees how monero break limits of manipulation.

If youre a bitcoiner that wanted freedom by having a money you can spend on what you want, learn people about monero. Always in first by usecase and for investment for people financially educated.

You probably noticed haveno-reto.com don't makes a big volume, because this network is very young (end of May).

To grow this network, we need to primarily using it as an escrow with ex P2P traders or new ones. "Hey do you still trade monero for cash ? we can settle on haveno-reto.con I share you my tradeid".

Have fun licking banker and FIAT boots, pseudo "freedom fighter"
