The only thing I don't like about #Nostr is that you need to use several clients to use it properly. I understand that the protocol is still in its infancy, but damn... 😒

If you trade air there, you're gay. not #Monero, not #XMR, #HyperLiquid

Today I bought the following with Monero: 1 flat white 1 borscht 1 syrniki The owner of a small café now accepts XMR. I won't say where, but he will add the place to Monerica and XMRbazaar. #Monero #XMR

I am looking forward to it no less than Serai. #monero #XMR #atomicswap

An excellent question for @fluffypony on @Ungovernable Misfits srteam. More and more people are noticing not only the fact that Monero has been actively fought against for many years (both technically and socially/in the media), but also the fact that nothing has been able to destroy the Monero project so far, and it has only made it stronger. I am one of those who get satisfaction every time I see XMR delisted from any centralized exchange. And the larger the exchange removes XMR, the higher my level of satisfaction. By the way, back in ~2017, I predicted that sooner or later XMR would be removed from the major (large) centralized exchanges. Why do I think that delisting XMR from centralized exchanges is a positive thing? 1) The more difficult it is to buy/sell XMR, the more a __non-technical person__ appreciates the XMR they have received, and the less desire they have to sell it/convert it to fiat; 2) The Monero community culture is focused on educating newcomers on how to use XMR as digital money by directly purchasing goods/services with XMR; [ take a look at Monerica and XMRbazaar ] Thanks for the podcast (@btcqna, @MaxBitbuybit, @sethforprivacy), it was fun.

Play with the state by the state's rules in state games = receive the corresponding prizes. Seriously, I'm all for banks showing their power and crushing CEXs. More people will start looking for alternatives.

There was a bit of drama. We even thought that it wouldn't happen in 2026... But no! It's happening! Namely, the best crypto/cypherpunk/FOSS party in Europe, and one of the best in the world! No BS / fuck the state / regulations and iNsiTuTiONAL iNvEStors. Thanks chief, @OrangeFren.com 👊🏻 #MoneroKon #Monero #XMR #FOSS #event

I often hear this. 1) Lightning Network is a semi-functional crutch that often doesn't work properly even between two different custodial wallets. 2) ecash is a custodial solution that works great for amounts of $1-20-50, but if you need to buy something more expensive, then another risk arises. 3) Fiat on/off ramps and Monero. For some reason, it just so happens that only people in rich countries like Europe, the US, Canada, and Australia have these problems. The rest of the world copes perfectly well with Hawala (or, as cool kids call it "over-the-counter/OTC/p2p" chats), RetoSwap.com, and various services from KYCnot.me, and dozens of swappers. And BTW, Monero is used as a digital currency. :) Due to the fact that governments and regulators are fighting Monero with delists from centralized exchanges, people have developed an even stronger culture of buying things directly with XMR, without a fiat proxy, using Monerica.com and XMRbazaar.com.

I can't remember how many times I've heard stories that as soon as a Bitcoin-only business adds Monero, the number of XMR payments overtakes BTC. #Monero #XMR

+1 cool project in the Monero ecosystem:

GOXMR

GOXMR | Sovereign Privacy-First Link-in-Bio

One handle, three URLs, four federated surfaces. OpenAlias, NIP-05, WebFinger, PGP. Built on Monero.

(made by @SlowBearDigger). A "link-in-bio" service where you can add links to your socials, PGP/GPG key, XMR wallet address, etc. Support the project with some XMR. 🧡 Black&White:

Wow, the dude doesn't even understand how Hawala works, but he's suggesting how to "stop Hawala". That's just the best joke I've heard in the last few months.

This is an excellent policy. This will really hit Hispanics. The problem is that Somalis (another middle easterners) don't use formal wire transfer...
