DarkNet trust Monero, not Bitcoin. Deal with it
bitcoin : 150 people
Monero : 36 000 people
If you want to buy something illicit on DarkNet, is it ok for you to do a LN transaction?
They will maybe try to force regulation on business accepting Bitcoin, more simple
My words are confusing sorry. More clear: The LN was made by Blockstream, a for profit company backed by bankers, and it's surely not for our privacy. The top 5 LN nodes: Around 40% of the public network
- ACINQ
- OKX
- Bitfinex
- Binance
- Kraken
They can receive pressure by government for implementing the OFAC blacklist or something like that.
It's not done yet like in Ethereum (around 40% nodes are censorship compliant) but it's obvious they will try force it. There is nothing we can do against it. It will be more and more centralized and probably more and more censored, I hope to be wrong
Oh you don't understand, I'm not against Bitcoin at all, I remember 10 years ago it was very different, there was no moonboy, we used Bitcoin for the DarkNet and it was ok. Bitcoin is not strong because price is up, people don't understand it, they think like "Bitcoin make 10x it's a very good thing"... privacy is so important, it can protect you from bad people or crazy government. Just Monero is really really better for P2P digital cash because it's anonymous, we don't know who send to who and we don't even know the amount. The DarkNet is where we need to look at because they need the better thing able to protect them from prison. They use Monero now, Bitcoin is risky for them, and it's for us too if the government go really against privacy and freedom and I think they will go in that direction so I hope Bitcoin will be better but when I see the mining centralization by big companies and development in the hands of Blockstream which is backed by bankers... something tell me it's going to wrong direction... I really hope to be wrong you know, I'm for freedom and privacy, I share the cypherpunk vision so the satoshi vision too.
That mean hard "regulation" (control) is coming to Bitcoin Ethereum and co because it's possible (transparent ledger), mining is centralized in few big companies, dev and LN is in Blockstream hands (bankers) so in some times (months, years) it will be like the banking system, please just explain how we can stop it?
Monero fix it

At this point, we will have choice, comply to tyranny or rise against the dystopian CBDC system, if freedom and privacy is crime, I will be a criminal and glad to be
Keep in mind just 1 thing and you will understand everything: It's not about money, it's about control
We just start bankruptcy and bank run 😎
"We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak[...]
We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place."

"We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the realities of information. Information does not just want to be free, it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin; Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and understands less than Rumor.
We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do."

Doing it's own USB offline Tails electrum (included in Tails) wallet seems better, made by you 😉
hyperbitcoinization will never happen in real life, mining is centralized by big compagnies, average fee is just crazy, LN is centralization of hub like big banks, development is controlled by Blockstream which is backed by bankers... Bitcoin will be regulated as hell because it's traceable, KYC non-resistant. People trade Bitcoin but will never use it anymore in the real life, it's a dream that will hurt many of dreamer, go to the DarkNet and will see Bitcoin is shit, they use Monero and that's fact. So you can continue to dream with your Bitcoin going to moon pumped by BlackRock or face the reality, Bitcoin is worthless in the real life, except if you want go to jail?
We want Bitcoin but we need Monero it's sad what is going on anyway we stand and rise go Monero

Not so funny when you will be in jail because your KYC Bitcoin was used for buying something illicit and it's linked to you because you just buy a coffee in Bitcoin with 6$ fee :kissing_heart_sunglasses:
