Perfectly said!

Another point besides privacy that I REALLY LIKE on Monero is the ASIC mining resistance.

Lot's of folks (me included) just don't have $$$ to buy and run ASIC to mine Bitcoin BUT I do have access to cheap CPU and GPUs what allows me to mine some Monero instead buying it.

you can receive up to 250 zaps without being online.

There is a GUI update to Bitcoin Core that would make the wallet a massive CoinJoin with everyone transacting on Bitcoin. You could use this to peg into the zcash sidechain, and have absolute privacy. Nobody would even know you WANT privacy. We will be getting this soon with CUSF.

That single frame that makes standing on your back porch during a tremendous thunderstorm worth it.

Nothing is black and white, for me Monero is the only relevant Altcoin (as opposed to all the other shipcoins) BTC for store of value and unimportant transactions, Monero for private "cash-like" transactions, we just need a reliable swaps mechanism. Digital "Gold" and "silver", but the silver is more private 😅. I am aware of flaws in this idea but if we can figure out how to make it work with Monero as a "layer two" (yes I know that is spurious to say) I think it would be a bright future indeed.

Samurai guys where working on a reliable swaps mechanism before they got busted... coincidence?

For most of human history there has been more than one active natural currency, I don't believe Bitcoin will swallow everything, just all stores of value. There will always be other currencies. I still consider myself a Bitcoin Maxi as I dont hold Monero... but I have and would use it. "There is no second best! (Except maybe just a little bit Monero 😆)"

Come at me with your disagreements! 🤣 why am I wrong? What do I have right?

Well they arrested the samurai guys, looking at Jack's affairs, Roger ver getting heat, what is private in this digital age 😳

Calle put a warning out few days back. Was too costly too keep running. Was the telegram native Ln

Also linked lntips before it was shutdown

I use zeus for the stack, get alby/zeus for the day to day and wos for nostalgia

No you can receive 24/7, they’re just in transit until you open the app to redeem them.

I moved from phoenix to zeus. Used their in app non custodial node

"One of the peculiar sins of the twentieth century which we've developed to a very high level is the sin of credulity. It has been said that when human beings stop believing in God they believe in nothing. The truth is much worse: they believe in anything."

Muggeridge Through the Microphone (1967)

Today was the best day in my life 😍

On October 25, 1858, John Neal, a sweet-maker in Bradford, sent an employee to buy plaster of Paris, commonly used then as a cheap substitute for sugar in confectionery.

During the 19th century, it was common for food and drinks to be adulterated with cheaper substances to reduce costs, enhance appearance, or extend shelf life, and consumers often didn't notice.

However, this time, the outcome was disastrous. The chemist was sick and sent his apprentice to fetch the plaster from the storeroom.

Due to a mix-up with unlabelled casks, the apprentice accidentally gave Neal 12 pounds of arsenic instead.

Neal used this arsenic to make peppermint drops, which he noted were darker and slower to dry than usual, but sold them anyway at a discount to market trader William Hardaker.

On October 30, about a thousand of these tainted sweets were sold. The next day, hundreds of people, including Hardaker, fell severely ill with symptoms of arsenic poisoning.

The authorities quickly traced the source and seized the remaining sweets, but not before at least 21 people, several of them children, had died.

Women often get a lot of DMs, including from other women.

DMs need to be taken more seriously.

I guess that was the bull market then? 😂
