"bitcoin is an awesome store of value, but it needs a 2nd layer for greater privacy and to solve the fungibility problem. lightning is maturing. cashu is also maturing. monero solves the spend issue now with privacy baked in on a protocol level. it is currency. it's meant to be spent."
Lightning may be maturing, but we're zapping sats on Nostr and recently made purchases using Lightning as well. Monero may be spendable now, and may indeed solve the scalability of microTXing now but it doesn't seem to be as widespread in terms of adoption. What resources would you suggest looking at?
I guess my question then becomes, what does monero solve that bitcoin cannot solve with layers(even if it takes a while)?
Yep, that's correct.

The time to rise has passed. The time to fight is now.

Bisq is definitely not the most user-friendly.
Robosats makes it super simple though, just needs a little effort put in to start off (proof of work!), but once you understand the flow, you'll be flying and using it everyday.
Regarding safety, it's quite safe as it uses a well-designed escrow system. Both peers enter a deposit,twhich incentivises honesty.
Mediation by a third-party also becomes an option if there are issues (over hundreds of trades, never had an issue).
Regarding it being in price (usually a few %), this is a premium paid for no KYC. Well worth it.

I stopped being able to see any media from this user:
Can confirm it's just snort.social (primal displays in-line, amethyst doesn't load but does include the link) and I tested without being logged in, in hopes of ruling out my relays:
Can you see the same issue?

Honestly feels like a huge win whenever I manage to get something through on lower rates.
This is how change happens.
Identify what you'd like to change.
Ascertain a potential and viable solution.
Weigh the cons.
Pull the trigger, get it done.

Can anyone recommend any #Bitcoin #Mining focused content creators?
I'm not interested in crypto bro's adding their watered-down opinion right after shilling shitcoin XYZ.
I want Bitcoin-only maxis with a pressure gauge that's about to burst and with a toxicity of the highest order.
#AskNostr
The amount of #stake these people have in #fiat is EVERYTHING to them, and it's dangerous. They're about to be backed into a corner, and we know what happens when they do. They'll pretend to accept #Bitcoin, just before they lash out at it.
Bitcoin can go to a million and these people will still think they're winning. The fiat system can collapse, they'll lose all their fiat stake, and still, they'll think they're winning.
Pride is a dangerous thing in this day and age of self-inflicted entitlement.
Imagine losing your mind over the weekend, rather than enjoying it.
In other words...
Traders always base their thoughts on short-term gains via trading.
This will not change - Not until their own stake collapses. This goes for those with high and low stakes alike.
Before I sign off for the night, I'd just like to take the time and say the following.
The #ETF approval signals the beginning of a new battle, the greatest #Bitcoin has faced so far. I am of the mind that Bitcoin fights its own battles, and if fails, then it was never the answer to begin with - It's an experiment after all. That being said, we must do our part. All of us.
With the ETF approval, institutional capital begins flowing through Bitcoin, and with it, agendas. It is in OUR interest that the SEC deemed the ETFs to be an IOU, and not actually immediately withdrawable as sats.
These institutions WILL do whatever they can to:
- Profit massively, even if it means by some sly round-about way to make it work against its own ethos for them.
- Make governments see how they and the fiat system may benefit.
- Make YOU part with your #sats.
Do NOT give into this. We're only beginning #2024 and, personally, I can see the smoke, hear the drums, smell the ash.
I think a lot of hard choices will need to be made, such as choosing to either be a millionaire, or fight for what's right.
Over the years I've seen a lot of people dream up the idea that Bitcoin and fiat can co-exist, with something like Strike's vision of Bitcoin as a payment rail - And over those years I've gone from merely observing, to understanding how that can be, to outright rejecting such an idea.
Why?
Because what we class as the Bitcoin ethos, isn't just some code we try to merge with common moral beliefs - They are guidelines to NOT follow into the mistake the capitalist system fell into centuries ago. It's not just a high-tide warning, it's the red flag that makes a faceless system function over the course of centuries with ZERO accountability when you need to point and blame.
I believe in user-friendly on-boarding, but co-existence isn't in the cards.
Remember - Satoshi stepped away, not so you could be rich, but because there was something bigger at play. Disrespect that, and you disrespect the vision of a more honest world backed by a more honest economy.
