What are your 2026 goals? Yeah, I know most people always make goals and after day three or so they give up on them, but I am determined to stick with mine, and I'd love to hear your's as well!

Mine are:

10k steps a day minimum (when possible) hopefully a lot more. 🚶‍♂️

Eat healthier and feel healthier! 💪

Work on building my online business and working towards financial freedom and self employment! 💼

Reply yours and reposts this note! I'd love to hear and support you!

You can't compare apples and oranges.

That is exactly the point.

BTC 🍏 is the Discovery.

XMR 🍊 is a Technology.

I used a pear 🍐 earlier because of the German saying, but the logic holds:

You don't trade your base asset for a cloak; you use the cloak to protect the base asset.

The evidence is that simple historical fact.

Good Lord I need a nap after fact checking and writing this response. Lol

Monero doesn't have a fixed cap. It has tail emission. 0.6 XMR per block, started May 2022. Creates about 1% inflation initially and trends toward zero over time. Keeps miners incentivized long-term without relying on fees alone.

Supply is predictable. We know exactly how many coins exist: roughly 18.44 million XMR plus 0.6 XMR every 2 minutes. Accounting for lost coins, probably deflationary in practice. That's scarcity.

On 51% attack resistance—yeah, attacks were attempted recently. August 2025 saw a 6-block reorg. September brought an 18-block reorg, the deepest in Monero's history. The selfish-mining attack peaked around 33% hashrate, not majority control. No double-spends executed, no funds stolen, but 118 transactions rolled back. Real stress test.

Monero's response was immediate. FCMP++ development accelerated. An alpha stressnet launched October 3, 2025.

FCMP++ moves from ring signatures with a ring size of 16 (15 decoys + 1 real) to full-chain membership proofs. Instead of proving your transaction came from one of 16 possible outputs, it proves it came from one of millions across the entire chain. Makes tracing effectively impossible.

Optimization competitions ran. 100 XMR bounty for helioselene, 250 XMR for ec-divisors. They achieved a 5x speedup in proof generation. Beta stressnet targeted Q1 2026.

Consensus hardening happened at the same time. "Share or Perish" fork-choice proposals are under active development. They’re designed to penalize delayed block broadcasts and kill the profitability of selfish mining. Additional finality layers and merge-mining concepts are being explored.

December 2025 status: hashrate at 6.74 GH/s, network stabilized, 17 active FCMP++ implementation issues with 4 closed, XMR up 94% year-over-year despite the attacks, privacy cryptography intact. Zero protocol compromises.

The network got tested. It responded with technical fixes, transparent crisis management, and fast timelines.

If you need untraceable transactions at scale—nothing else does what Monero does.

Beef Wellington came great

RUNSTR rewards every workout with 50 sats daily, creating a baseline earning opportunity for all users. Beyond daily rewards, three competition systems give you additional earning opportunities.

Today I woke up and decided…

to build a couch for our chimney.

Just old pallets, sunlight & dogs supervising the process.

And a bit of honest sweat.

I turned raw wood to a place where fire, family, presence & peace will meet.

PoW or nothing.

Let’s build 🧡⛏️

Spontaneous #Zapathon Right now! Reply! I will spam you with zaps.

Do you try to convince people to let themself bribe for a minimal amount of sats? I would rather go for genuine posting. Share what you like. Never share something for money, otherwise its a kind of whore account...

I can’t stop. Here’s my assessment of the psychological mechanics at play.

Likes are frictionless, muscle memory from years of social conditioning. They require no skin in the game, no economic cost, no reputation staking. They’re the path of least resistance, which paradoxically makes them the weakest signal.

Zaps introduce economic friction. Even small amounts create pause. You’re not just expressing appreciation, you’re sacrificing something fungible and finite. This transforms a gesture into a statement about value alignment.

Reposts require the highest cost, social capital. You’re saying “this deserves to exist in my namespace” and staking your curation reputation on it. It’s an endorsement that travels with your identity.

The question becomes…does the like button dilute signal clarity? On Nostr, where we’re supposedly rebuilding social graphs around value rather than algorithmic manipulation, maybe the most meaningful interactions should have built in friction.

The ease of an action correlates inversely with its informational content. When everything is easy, nothing is meaningful.

I think it’s worth considering if we treated our engagement patterns as a conscious design choices rather than inherited behavior from platforms optimized for addiction? Thoughts

Communism is a meme ideology that can never work because of human nature.

Anarcho-capitalism is a meme ideology that’s like 6 or 7 technological breakthroughs away from becoming reality.

Friendship is gold precisely because it resists commodification. It’s the last space where humans can be ends unto themselves rather than means to content, status, or extraction.

In a world drowning in connections, loyalty is the scarcest resource.

"You are living in a Brave New World that oppresses you through convenient dependency, with the state as god. A manufactured reality designed to enslave while projecting a hedonistic illusion of freedom. This is the ultimate coup: making you the instrument of your own imprisonment. Convincing you that your cage is actually a shield. That dependency equals security. That freedom itself is dangerous and irresponsible."

Just make every LIKE send10 sats. The fact that the protocol forces people to make a value decision every single time, for every single thing, is torturous. Your subconscious brain has to think:

a) How will this look to others?

b) What have I zapped in the past and will that be consistent with that?

c) What are others zapping? What's the going rate for such content?

d) What to write or not write for the message?

e) Are there big zaps on this post already that will put my zap in shadow?

What a load for subconscious brains just trying to chill out, and for many conscious brains too. Just silly to force a value judgment every dang time.

Too late to change though, this post is just a long sigh at what could have been.
