The next 10 years will be worse for bitcoin's existence as we know it than the previous 14. In the meantime many developers falling into the trap of spammers. Do you understand how intelligence services subversion techniques work? Do you realize that right now all of you reading this message are at the mercy of the intelligence services and surely act as they want? Compromised internet lines, compromised mobile devices, your microphones, your cameras... they know everything about you. Before knowing bitcoin I dedicated my life to privacy because without privacy there is no freedom, bitcoiners ignore this world that is perhaps more important than Bitcoin itself. It is sad to see the community fighting, it is sad to see how surely all this shit is created by intelligence services to divert attention from what is important. Many developers are already compromised, many influencers too. The answer to everything is in yourselves. What do you want Bitcoin for, what was Bitcoin created for, have there been any filtering techniques in Bitcoin so far? You are all fighting for simple spam, spam is simply blocked, no argument, when there are much more important things to worry about, privacy and scaling. What good will it do the Bitcoin people when it costs $1000 to make a transaction and there are no viable layer 2 solutions? Doesn't anyone remember this anymore?

Not only developers have fallen into this trap. Even popular influencoors like Odell were not humble enough and ended up defending ordinal shitcoins on Bitcoin in the name of fReeDoM. I'm curious how Odell will take his responsibility on this once people get hurt by these scammers, seeing how he's always keen to point out the responsibility of others who made similar mistakes.
Please give us BTC L2 solution which will work same as Nano XNO, no fees(not near zero fees), no initial deposits, no channel size management, self custody, no dependency to be online to accept tx. I mean solution which is made to solve a problem not solution which is made for someone else to make profits.
You are describing why so many early Bitcoiners left and built Monero, learning from Bitcoins shortcomings and fully aware about its trade offs. Tail emission (security) Dynamic blocksizes (growth) Well understood mathematical assumptions/cryptography (audibility) Nothing is perfect. But without Monero, I would have lost hope in this space almost a decade ago. View quoted note →
