People improve through making mistakes. Free people make their mistakes faster. Nostrich since 761114.

not another fucking chat app

le sigh

sure wish we had the same wealth of coinjoin implementation as we do private messengers.

easier to monetize business model too...

fair enough.

it's a question of priority.

bitcoin has prioritized normie adoption.

as a result, fiat tradfi people are going to exert whatever leverage they can on the network *in its current state*

(maybe we'll see institutional fork wars but whatever, useless to speculate.)

but the point is re priority,

bitcoin is cool but not perfect.

are we sure that the network *in its current state* is effectively censorship resistant?

since we're already inviting in the most greedy unethical people on the planet?

bitches gotta realize

having a bunch of normie and tradfi fiat maxis coming into your network

is not a good idea for long term health.

this is just

"i don't know/care that privacy is necessary for censorship resistance"

bitcoin has no privacy

or worse, questionable privacy solutions

and its a big fucking problem.

oh please

monero has stable consistent monetary policy. that isn't "infinite supply"

it stores value fine. it's just probably never going to get tradfi degens pumping it up like bitcoin.

feature not a bug.

No.

My monero stack is up an average of 250%

sure my BTC stack has done better.

but not so much Im upset about it.

monero stores value fine.

uh

collaborative txs, coinjoins, and join market all mean the same thing.

There is no zerolink coinjoin operational at the moment.

Ark is an ecash.

Ecash is custodial.

LN privacy is complicated. Its possible to have decent privacy if you run your own infrastructure. Maybe this is getting easier...?

So no

none of those things actually solve the privacy problem at the moment.

Certainly none of them do what monero does.

son

ive been in bitcoin since you were a sparkle in your dads eye

you cant even parse "relative speculative investment" correctly.

so don't kid yourself.

it's not a fork because it's a completely different codebase.

jfc

you people

that chart is a graph of the relative valuation of XMR and BTC

AS MEASURED IN US DOLLARS.

it is a graph of relative USD-denominated speculative investment and nothing else.

I'll agree it's not an irrelevant metric,

but it don't mean what y'all think it does.

certainly not some mic drop shit

so get the fuck over it already.

All Bitcoiners hate fiat,

until they think they can score points on social media by waving around a fiat-denominated chart.

do better.

monero has steadily increased in purchasing power.

the fact thst a bunch of degen tradfi VCs have pumped your bitcoin bags MORE means exactly jack shit.

thats quite a word salad to just say

"i don't know what cryptographic primitives are"
