Some people want to win the lottery, but I already won it — I was born in the good ‘ol fucking #USA baby 🦅🦅🦅 and I own #Bitcoin. Fuck your fiat trash and fuck your anti-American rhetoric. Oh and one more thing, fuck the EU

Does anyone use Bitkey, is it a good hardware wallet? #bitcoin

Japanese authorities trace Monero, arrest 18 in $670K laundering case

Japanese authorities tracked Monero transactions to arrest a gang of 18 alleged scammers responsible for $670,000 in damages from money laundering ...

Cashu protocol is intriguing though btw, I want to learn more about it. I am a very curious person. I have a lot to learn about Monero as well still. One thing I think is true is that society settles on one money naturally. If that is Bitcoin (which seems to be the case for “crypto”) then for practical reasons, shouldn’t Cashu be embraced?

Maxis have to ask themselves what problems was #Bitcoin supposed to solve and is it solving them - These two things need to be looked at honestly without any bias. I still cannot see any way around it. I have no problem admitting I’m happy when the price goes up because we LIVE in the fiat system. If it isn’t money and just viewed as an asset and isn’t solving privacy nor truly decentralized money, of course I will willingly benefit because everything in my life is still in USD. I’d be dumb to not take advantage of this. But are we gonna solve privacy with Bitcoin? Will there be more regulation? KYC, custodial wallets, billionaires, institutions, pension funds, all of this bullshit has to be considered. If Bitcoin becomes the money replacement that we use in the same system with the same policies, with the same oppression every-day-citizens deal with now, what’s the difference? Seriously, what is the difference? At that point it’s just the same everything except it’s Bitcoin and not the USD. Yes, the supply is fixed, but do you think force won’t be used against you if you don’t follow the rules? Maybe what I am saying is totally naive, but I’m not afraid to ask the question and raise some concerns. This is why #Monero makes sense fundamentally, but I don’t think it’ll become mainstream money for everyone, probably ever. And I do agree generally that society settles on one money, and as the world goes more and more digital, that likely will be Bitcoin. But again, what is actually being solved with all of this?

This is why #Bitcoin has already failed. It is a fact. I have no problem saying I am in Bitcoin for “number go up” now because I am honest with myself. Yeah, it’s a great asset, but KYC has ruined it. What it was meant to solve, it has failed. And also the whole “buy something [Bitcoin] that no government can take away” is not a smart thing to say in my opinion. Do you REALLY believe that they don’t have the power to make you give them what they need if they want to? Seriously? Like I said the other day, #Monero fulfills all the boxes that Bitcoin was supposed to and also like I said — it has been ruined due to KYC and rich people. View quoted note →

A Democrat and Republican debating something is just two people arguing over which is the better way for big government to control our lives. Minarchism is the way. I couldn’t give a fuck about this election. It bothers me that people are behaving like they are so informed because now they’re voting for Trump and if you don’t vote for Trump you must be anti-freedom. Do these people even hear themselves?

#Bitcoin has been hijacked thanks to KYC, custodial wallets, and rich investors. Seems to be real simple now, in my opinion: Bitcoin is digital gold, a store of value, a hedge against inflation. Absolutely yes - buy it, save in it, and hold it. The reality is we are still in the USD system and that will not change. So if you’re in for “number go up,” then just admit that. Nothing wrong with that if you’re just aware of it. We’re all in the same financial system, so I understand, especially because Bitcoin has already failed what it set out to do. #Monero on the other hand, is digital cash. It seems to be the only money that actually held onto the values and mission that Bitcoin was supposed to hold to and solve. So get some Monero, and SPEND IT. That’s the purpose. They both have utility. It’s annoying to see that Bitcoin maxis are so anti-Monero for no reason. Like stop and think for a second — why? I have not seen a single legitimate reason other than “BTC is worth more in USD” which misses the point entirely. Stop calling it a “shit-coin” simply because it isn’t Bitcoin. That isn’t how it works. If Bitcoin was a threat and was succeeding in the mission it was supposed to be accomplishing, it wouldn’t be available to purchase on an exchange. Monero on the other hand, is getting delisted. Before (if) you reply in disagreement, keep it civil. Way too many butthurt people recently for no reason.

Absolute fucking nimrod. This makes me want to side with #Monero over #Bitcoin. This is not why Bitcoin was made. Fuck these people View quoted note →
