New to monero here.

They are all KYC-free. Every option has Tor by default, or at least has it available.
Tried to zap this one but ill send a big thanks for sharing these resources instead. Many thanka π
It could also be a threat from Netenyahu to DC theh better toe the line or more will come. If he was indeed a mossad agent, no doubt the full details are in Israels strategic hands.
Been away for a while. Where did all the #zaps go?
The vibes from you and other fellow hardliners here are weird.
I only k ow a handful of XMR advocates so i wont claim to know the xmr communitys motivations - but no monero advocate ive ever met wants to *beat* bitcoin. The only thing they want is privacy.
Whereas the bitcoin community, of which i am much more a part, has this weird obsession with beating monero as if its the enemy.
Xmr aint the enemy.
Two things can coexist. Bitcoin will be bigger forever. Punching down to a group who want to be left alone or even are bitcoiners themselves is the kind of thing the enemy does.
"People want ngu"? Ya some people. But some people want privacy, and still others may want both.
Ecash isnt bitcoin and its not self custodial. Thats straight from nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg
Below are three funds that invest in #bitcoin focused companies. Does anyone have any strong opinions on these or any other similar funds? #asknostr If only I was an accredited investor π£
Ten31 https://ten31.vc/funds
Ego Death Capital https://egodeath.capital/
El Zonte Capital https://elzontecapital.com/
Even if you are an accredited investor, youd still want to have a nice stack of sats before moving from liquid, self-custody, pristine BTC to completely illiquid, long dated, derivative of BTC which is what bitcoin VC is. IMO.
Unless of course you have paper hands - even then id argue a multi sig with a trusted accountability partner is better than VC lp shares.
nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx of Ten31 has said something similar recently in response to someone wanting to set up a friends and family side pot.
What is the right amount of btc before taking a slice out for this kind of thing? Likely many differing opinions.

Wonder if the big banks played the arb to force the Feds hand. They abused it, got the free arb, but the big yield will come from buying the insolvent regionals at bargain prices.

ZK proofs may be the future, but XMR is the past and present for privacy. Its the cockroach that wont go away.
Not to mention its a better vol dampner than a fiat or stable if your cost of capital is BTC.
If you believe in BTC but want to prefund expenses for X time or Y amount away from BTC vol, XMR is better than stepping back into debasement land USD (stables) for X time or Y amount.
Ive heard people say bitcoin is like a cockroach. Wrong.
Monero is the cockroach. You dont know how many there are nor where they come from.
But you know they are there and will continue to be there.
Does it matter they are not the apex predator? Absolutely not. They exist, persist, and cannot be stopped.
Hardliners on this believe devs should spend their time on bitcoin privacy. Thats a way harder problem. To reject iterate towards that and neglecting a superior privacy preserving payment method in the interim is imprudent.
This shitcoin shaming is tiresome and does more harm than good.
There's no such thing as "an abundance of caution" AFTER a breach, hack, or exchange run.
For real, can companies get better PR people. Its gotta be the same "A list" MBA people thinking they sound empathetic when really they only give a shit because their neck is on the line. They dont care about their customers data.
Itz not all on them.
Why folks still give their real names, primary emails to corps is beyond me. They dont know you from Adam. So now your name is adam. Your email is a burner from simple login. Your phone number is a VOIP. Aaaaand now breaches dont hurt.
The exact moment Bill Gates decided there are too many people on this planet.
