Medida equivocada. Usei Orkut aos 9 e 10 anos, usei MSN na mesma idade, Skype lá pelos 13, Facebook desde os 11 anos também, e se eu não tivesse esse acesso eu não teria as opiniões que tenho, o acesso ao conhecimento que eu pude obter, etc e etc. Sem redes sociais eu ficaria até o fim da adolescência dependente de informação da mídia. Se o problema é a exposição de jovens a solução já existe, é o Nostr.

I feel this one 😂

I think health is a close tie?

100% not ledger !

They don't seem like a minority from where I stand, unfortunately.

Pretty much all the oldschool bitcoiners I know (including myself) value Monero because it complements Bitcoin in a much needed way, but for the moonbois it's a black and white thing and an us-vs-them mentality (they seem unable to grasp that most of us explaining and defending #monero here are bitcoiners too).

This is something I deeply care about (because I don't like the implications of a total surveillance society) and to see the same fallacious arguments spun over and over again does grind my gears somewhat.

I'm just trying to raise awareness about this topic and not let fallacious arguments go unchallenged. Sometimes it can be tiring, but don't worry, everything is calm and good 💪

Yeah, but the blockchain doesn't exist in a vaccuum.

If 1 BTC = 1 BTC, why does depositing coinjoin coins at an exchange get your account suspended?

Because 1 BTC != 1 BTC. Every satoshi has a history. That allows you to discriminate between them.

For now it's at exchanges. One day it might be any utxo not known to be associated with an identity cannot be legally accepted by a legal merchant (you know, 99.9% of businesses).

Another day it might be you being unable to open a legal lightning channel without prior permission, and if you do you will be fined for money laundering.

If those seem preposterous to you, just know that some of us have been here for long enough where the idiotic clueless majority swore that exchanges would never block anyone's account because BTC is fungible.

No. Your collective stubborn ignorance has created a financial surveillance system far more insidious than anything that existed before. It's amazing to see that same stubborn ignorance 16 years into the experiment.

The AML/KYC nightmare has only expanded because of this. No need for warrants, no need for suspicion, no need for complicated international arrangements, oh no.

They just put it online forever on "the blockchain". And as long as NGU they don't really care.

Actually it's even worse than that, since most don't even use the blockchain, they use an exchange like a bank thus negating any advantage this technology had in the first place.

It's just incredible, the whole shitshow.

I totally agree. But Monero is still facing issues with scalability-decentralization and adoption, so people just say well forget it, let's focus on what works great as an all-arounder and is definitely going to last. It's a case of the right tool for the job, and Bitcoin is a tool that can do all jobs, but Monero is also useful for certain jobs, arguably moreso than Bitcoin at this stage in the game, for those specific jobs. I would prefer to just say Monero is good, Bitcoin is better, and there are some additional tradeoffs that are seriously worth looking at and that both projects could use tweaking on.
