“There are more than 5 faggits on nostr” -me

That's just always been weird to me because, at least in my mind, I see the more cipherpunk leaning Bitcoiners and Monero people in greater alignment than they would think. Or at least that some of the Bitcoiners would think. And in a heavily KYC'd environment like Bitcoin is currently. There are a lot of privacy concerns, and I think using custodians that are more private, like Cashew, is kind of a shitty cop-out. Like yes, we do need to be building better custodians, and it's good to see privacy considerations go into custodial solutions. And while I don't really like the idea of a fully closed-off ledger, there is something to be said about having more on-chain privacy. Taproot was supposed to help achieve this to make transactions look similar, but I don't see a lot of wallets with default taproot support. But I've also come to the realization that there are a lot of statist bootlickers who only care about number go up in Bitcoin, so they think everything is sunshine and rainbows and living in La La Land and gargling sailor's balls Thinking they're fighting the state when they're just a frog in warm water.

Point being, at least in my mind, if you really care about separating money from state, wr should be working together and learning from each other, not fucking fighting.

*safe goddamn it

I agree. I truly believe that #bitcoin wins in free market currency competition, and so I don't see these other currencies as a threat, at most just a distraction. But if I had high time-preference with regard to Bitcoin (only interest is in NGU to get rich), then they are a threat because I'm focused on the wrong thing, incidentally giving credence to these other currencies as potentially solving problems which for you Bitcoin doesn't seem to be solving. If we can move beyond high-time preference fixation on short term NGU, we can then focus on finding common ground so that we can come alongside each other where it matters.

Too much pride still. Will take some trouble for Bitcoiners to open their perspective to Monero. Most Monero Bros are already invested in Bitcoin. Bitcoin OGs (now in Monero) created Bitcoin. Even BIP-01 came from someone who is now invested in Monero privacy (and DarkFi).

I made a post shitting on this entire mentality when I saw an especially egregious post evangelizing this mindset, but due to one faggy app developer's bullshit definition of "spam" I'll refrain from linking to it on an unrelated note a third time. You'll find it quickly though after a brief browsing of my profile.
