When we hold on to our opinions with aggression, no matter how valid our cause, we are simply adding more aggression to the planet, and violence and pain increase. Cultivating nonaggression is cultivating peace. The way to stop the war is to stop hating the enemy. It starts with seeing our opinions of ourselves and of others as simply our take on reality and not making them a reason to increase the negativity on the planet.

Liquid is a fucking ghost town

so no. it is not "just as private as Monero"

even if it DID protect sender and receiver.

which is doesn't.

so just admit already you don't need strong privacy yourself,

haven't researched how to have strong privacy online

and are just talking through your hat because you think nobody should use anything else than your favorite chain

A look at the future of the average “crypto” person

HEY! Are you a University Student? Do you have access to databases of published papers?

SAVE THEM! WHEN YOU GRADUATE YOU WON'T HAVE ACCESS ANYMORE! SAVE EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER LOOKED AT - SAVE MORE IF YOU CAN!

I'm Already running Linux on my Laptop. Why I'm interested in such products is the disabled Intel ME and the already installed core boot. I know I could do this by myself on some old thinkpads, but I'm just to lazy to figure out how to do it.

Always so dumb to me when other bitcoiners get mad at me for having a retirement account lol

Like yes I have an account that allows me to pay no taxes on my bitcoin gains if I wait 35 years. It’s kind of the most low time preference Bitcoin and libertarian things i can think of.

Roth IRA’s are based af.

If you don’t have one yet… you should.

the same people who wouldn't listen in 2017 when you told them what problems the lightning network will have are not listening today when you tell them the dangers of custodians taking over

Plausible deniability is easier with Monero even if you KYC especially for the average user

With Bitcoin they have the potential to monitor if your coins moved from an address after you said you "lost the keys", see that you later consolidated with a current address after you were "hacked"/"Gave it away"/"sent to the wrong address". Or follow it going forward and try and tie you to a purchase down the road.

Ways to avoid all these things on Bitcoin of course, but it requires active and conscious effort that quite frankly many users will fail to do out of ignorance or mistakes.
