"Bitcoiners" which are laughing when Monero was supposedly de-anonymized, you are fucking retards ^^
This is an evidence you want NGU and you don't care about financial privacy, sad, go worship CBDC moonboys
Monero hide the sender, the amount and the receiver by default.
What can be "way more private" ?
Are you lying ?
scarcity has never been the most important feature of money.
The most important feature of money is robustness.
A good money have no weakness, Gold have no weakness, it can't be created by humans, it can't be destroyed by a long period of time, it can't be burned, it doesn't care about politics or regulations, there is no risk at all, no hack, no bug, no shutdown, no printer go brrr, censorship is impossible, if you have a coin in your hand, it's all on you nothing else.
Crypto (even Monero) can be hacked, shutdown, captured by regulations (especially transparent ledgers), it depends on electricity and internet, it constantly require energy activity & consumption, that's probably the big danger after all.
Bitcoin is not sovereign by itself, nodes are the third party and we need them to transact, what's happening with Ethereum ? It's actually censored, as I said many times, Bitcoin will probably be censored something like that because of the transparency, nodes and miners see A want to send x btc to B, if the majority of the network comply to OFAC, bitcoiners are fucked...
That's the advantage of Monero (one of them), nodes can't see the sender, the amount, the receiver. Transactions are anonymous and can't be censored because of that, an address can't be specifically targeted, that's a big deal.
When you have a Gold coin, there is no third party at all, your transactions don't need to be accepted by someone else except the receiver, it's seems strange and funny to talk about that, we can say Bitcoin or Monero can't work otherwise, but it have big implications, nodes are the middle man, if the node can identify the transaction, censorship is possible, and we should expect it will happen soon or later, maybe am I excessive ?
Maybe the government don't spend hundred of billions to build secret infrastructures for spying on us without or consent ?
Maybe the government isn't going to develop a CBDC, a programmable digital currency where they will be able to control at their will ?
Of course Bitcoin is not a threat to the Government, when Wall Street launch a Bitcoin ETF, maybe we should ask serious questions isn't ?
Even if I like Bitcoin as an idea, a concept, Bitcoin as it is today is a mess on many points, Monero is probably not the better version of what we need, but it's far closer than Bitcoin and probably the closer of all. Bitcoin is clearly is trap, it's worse than Gold, it's worse than Monero, what is the utility of it today ? 10 years ago yes I was saying Bitcoin was cool, no moonboys, no ETF, no ChainAnalysis, it's wasn't a casino, it's was a tool to transact outside of the banking system, it was used by the darknet markets, it had value, and it's now Monero, strange ?
Probably the big advantage of Monero is not even the ability to transact anonymously, no, the bigger advantage of Monero is it's community, everyone on Monero is here for privacy, Monero will ever go trough that way, we don't care about regulations or wall street blessing, we care about privacy only, building an anonymous transactional system for everyone, that's all, Monero is nothing else, it's a tool. You can buy a coffee, a gift to your friend or a gun, drugs and illicit things, that's your choice, but at least, you can transact freely.
Crypto is not something we should HODL and use fiat, it's something to replace fiat, the purpose of Bitcoin was to be used, it's not a marketplace, not a casino, it's a tool to free us, that's all it's utility, that's why it was created and this is the only value of it.
Of course Bitcoin is a bubble, it can't be a digital version of Gold, and even not a digital version of cash, there is no utility in it, but let's pump the ponzi again ^^
"Bitcoiners" think they understand what is Bitcoin, but they don't really, if it was true, they will have Gold or Monero instead.
The true "Bitcoiners" where in Bitcoin first, but they are in Monero, zcash or Bitcoin Cash now. They know the price is not important, only the tech, only the utility of it. Bitcoin is just a program, it should be only useful, not a casino.
Considering Bitcoin as a store of value which can compete against Gold is a big mess, I'm sure you know why, can you rely on Internet when there is a catastrophic event like war or hurricane ? But because NGU you are blinded.
The purpose of Bitcoin was to break the banking system abuse, not be an extension of it. Satoshi didn't failed, people did.
Canada truckers know exactly what I'm saying, Bitcoin will not be able to protect you against Government repression, I don't know if Monero will succeed on that, maybe not, but it's probably the better hope over the internet today, the cypherpunks anonymous transaction system is here.
If it will not be Monero, it will be something else, but Bitcoin can't be, it has never been and will never be able.
When a society prefer fiat gain over freedom and privacy, these society is now corrupted and will break soon or later.
So I leave you in your golden cage, have fun staying enslaved, Monero bros are fighting for the freedom of all, even if you don't care about that.
So many courageous people raised against bad Governments, Snowden was at the NSA, he was brilliant and earned a lot of money, if he wanted, his life will be smooth and he was able to retire very confortably, but he didn't shut up, he rise against the establishment for the public interest, his life became very difficult next, but he knew the consequences and accepted them. His revelations are priceless
Assange disclosed so many corruption and of course he understood the risks.
We can't do a choice if there is only one way, we are in a monolithic system where compliance is mandatory and disagree bring sanctions, is this freedom ?
It's not about Bitcoin or Monero, it's far more deep and important than that, it's about humanity, about freedom and privacy respect.
No I don't want my transactions to be disclosed to anyone, to the government or police, respect my choice, if you don't I will not comply and I will fight back. Maybe you should ask, if I want and if I want only I will disclose it to you.
Maybe you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide, I don't have special things to hide too, but let the choice to the people. Why enforcing liberticide laws ? Why not letting choice ? Who do you think you are ? God ? My parents ? Fuck you
You will never be loved if you try to enforce it
Go fuck their CBDC
Go Freedom
Go Privacy
Go Monero
That's all the point bitcoiners are missing, Bitcoin is stuck in regulations compliance, if you add real privacy on it, wall street will dump it or fork it. Bitcoin will become the enemy and bitcoiners don't want that, they want Bitcoin as a "digital gold" so let it be traceable with no privacy, you don't want to be that bad, Monero is here for that π
"They won't be able to enforce kyc"
Are you sure ?
The vast majority own Bitcoin for fiat gain, 99% of Bitcoiners don't care about privacy or freedom ^^
Future will tell, I hope you have right anyway
"Bitcoin is a non-sovereign... store of value"
I replayed maybe 10 times to confirm, he really said that or I am crazy ?
Monero is the Dark Knight of Internet π¦
maybe there was but strangely not showed ?
Yes of course muting someone who disagree is surely a constructive way π
I'm not Jew you know, I don't speak Hebrew and not living in Israel too ^^
Let me recap, UN gave a part of the ancestral Jewish Land given by God to the Jews and Arabs immediately attacked Jews because they don't accept the UN resolution, so Jews where forced to enter in war and they win, next Arabs where not happy so they started multiple wars with Jews and every time Jews have where victorious, but Jews where peace so gave back the Sinai, but instead of peace, rockets where launched from Sinai... Jews gave free electricity, water, medicaments and health care to Palestinians meanwhile Hamas launched rockets and terrorism assault in Israel during around 20 years until Oct 7 where Israel said stop we will kick out Hamas sorry for you Palestinians we wanted peace all that time but it's impossible we will end the aggressor so. Is it something like accurate ?
What logic exactly ? The logic of killing Jews because they are Jews ?
Israel is now the terrorist... obvious of course ^^
Are you serious ?
It's seems to be legit, supposing it was, concerned solider will face justice and probably be jailed
There is a video of Israelis soldiers rapping Palestinian prisoners ? Show me please
Nothing can justify antisemitism or nazism or terrorism wtf
Israelis on the videos wanted soldiers to be free because they want an army to defend themselves, btw I disagree, if there is a suspicion, they should be detained and judged, if it's confirmed, heavy sanctions should follow
