Over the past couple weeks, I have been preparing to plant a native flower garden in a parking lot island in my town. Last week I finally finished deweeding and received town approval! Free Staters are good neighbors.

Turned the native NH riverbank grapes into a sour and sweet jam. SO GOOD!

Voldemort had a 7/7 multisig and still failed to protect his most valuable asset. Bearish.

If Core patched some of spam externalities of Segwit & Taproot, no chainsplit. If Core v30 did not blow out the OpReturn to 100k bytes, no chainsplit. If the miners, exchanges, and devs did not collude against BIP-110, no chainsplit. A lot had to go wrong for chain splitting.

After an IMMENSE amount of contemplating on this issue, this is where I currently stand. Bitcoin has the greatest chance of overthrowing fiat in our lifetime, full stop. We are seeing it devour the fiat system before our eyes. However, following the realization that the miners, institutions, and devs have an insane amount of control over the protocol, this creates a centralization risk that is unavoidable if the elites are able to sufficiently exploit it. Therefore, Bitcoin is the white pill because there is hope that it can destroy the fiat system but also the blue pill because you have to ignore the glaring centralization risks present. Conversely, Monero seems nearly incorruptible. It is listed on no exchanges, it has no institutional adoption, and you can only use it with other people who know what it is. However, this seems to be a feature and not a bug because it means that there is almost no way it can be captured in the way Bitcoin was captured. The devs are highly scrutinized within the community, there is no institutions to put pressure on it, and the mining is sufficiently decentralized because of the ASIC resistance that is mostly done by "Monero plebs" if you will. Therefore, Monero is the black pill because it has a very slim to no chance of overthrowing fiat. However, it is the red pill because it will be nearly impossible to corrupt and can be used in hard times if Bitcoin ends up being captured by the fiat system. Bitcoin: The White Pill Blue Pill Monero: The Black Pill Red Pill

Do your own research, don't trust verify. That being said, in my opinion, these are the best stateless/DIY/Don't Trust, Verify signers and hardware wallets. @SeedSigner @npub1j0dm...lwm0 DIY KRUX Wallet
