You mentioned Bitcoin increased in fiat shitcoin terms – I'm saying it's an increase in value, not only in fiat but in everything. Bitcoins buy more moneros today than yestrday. It's a shitty counter arguement used by Monero folks all the time.

Its not a fiat metric but basic idea that a medium of exchange appreciates in value, be it fiat, basket if groceries or an ounce of gold.

Bitcoin's primarily goal is to detach the state from the money issuance – as evidenced by the inscription in the genesis block. Privacy, while a very important aspect of it, was never the only thing that mattered.

Monero folks always leave this side of the coin unmentioned while eagerly accenting how bitcoin is shit and monero where it's at because it's more privacy focused.

The #nostr relay thing is quite tricky if you move between clients and versions. They don't seem to persist at account level but rather each client has its own relay setup and the relay configuration of the account in prior client is neglected.

Different clients solely adding their own relay to the existing relay set is surely a UX inprovement.

#Bitcoin can make war unaffordable

Inevitably, the only thing that needs to happen is for it to become a unit of account within self-sufficient communities, a measure of value output nested in the goods and services those communities produce.

A generation will be required for the paradigm shift to occur, but it is likely to happen as long as consensus is maintained.

I'm not sure about the assertion regarding paper ETF.

While it becomes increasingly hard to assess collateral value in traditional finance, with Bitcoin it's very easy as the verified information is public in the blockchain. There's a perpetual audit going every 10 minutes on average; that's the consensus.

Bad actors we've known a few. ETF mismanagement, if it is to occur, will be just another version of mismanaged funds (mtgox, terra, FTX etc).

Nothing new.

I wonder why a central banker would be responsible for the biggest #misinformation campaign against #Bitcoin?

Even if the data server is run by yourself?

Let's see if I get this correctly: if I'm running citrine + TOR relay for DMs, others should be running TOR, plus they should be using my relay to write to the relay and read from the relay?
