You are not wrong either, but a slight correction. USA already took over the world's energy decades ago. It is just trying to suppress the uprising ... Which causes friction

> Only use private funds for coinjoin payments
What does this mean? It sounds stupid for an outsider. You need private funds to make them private?

What would be the advantage of bitcoin if we go (back) to a fractional reserve standard? Nothing would have been changed for the better. Fractional reserve banking is immoral. Bitcoin becoming like the paper gold market does not solve anything.
Well maybe one thing: the audit of the reserves in bitcoin is easy and with gold less easy. So with bitcoin you will know how much money they would have been creating (how hard you will be fucked), thereby being able to calculate the risks and giving a signal how much interest you should be asking at this specific bank. In time the shenanigans will lobby the government that audits are not necessary and a thread to the stability of the financial system etc etc.
I guess that all comes back to the education of the people:
- don't use systems that do fractional reserve banking
- don't do interest.

Although i think the bureaucracy has its own dynamic and I agree with what you say. I think you are talking about something else then i do. I assume that there is a power above state level which controls the state itself. So it doesn't matter who actually comes to power in politics as long as the elected officials don't change/challenge the money creation system.
Because if they would try, they will be dealt with by the many tools they have.
Is my assumption correct? Yes it is actually a fact that the creation of money is a private matter. It is created by commercial and central banks. And the central bank of the united States (the federal reserve) is a private corporation, with private shareholders.
That's why the USA has a national debt. If it would create its own money there would be no national debt.
So who is the real boss? The hand that gives or the hand that takes? The hand that gives is stronger because the hand that takes is a debt slave.

Where is the fiat money creation in this picture? It says in the middle of the picture (level 1) Banks & Fed receive new money first. No, NO! This is not true.
These words hide the biggest scam on earth. They don't RECEIVE they GIVE. They give money they create out of nothing when they make a loan to somebody (expanding the money supply). Then they collect the interest and earn FREE money, without performing labour. This is parasitic behavior.
The loan takers (citizens, companies governments) receive the new money and have a net advantage versus the fiat savers in society. The government is part of the sceme. The government could create its own money , without issuing debt and as a consequence no national debt. But they don't. The moment the government decided to play along or was tricked or forced to accept the sceme the free citizens of a country become not taxpayers for their own benefit but become tax paying livestock to pay of the national debt including interest. So the government becomes the collection mechanism for the money creators.
Always keep this in the back, I mean in the front of your mind when you look at these kind of pictures.

Well you talk about the middle management. True, you can't fire them easily, but middle managment is not the deep state. The deep state are the puppets on key government positions that are appointed by the money creation elites. Like the head of the federal reserve. Heads of intelligence agencies. Etc.

Next to what profanarch had said. If you want to do groceries with monero, then you can order a physical or virtual debet card and top it up with monero.
If you want to stay private use the physical debet card as you need to add the virtual card to apple pay or google pay (this should be a no go in any instance).
If you search good at https://monerica.com/cards
You can find your anonymous physical debit card.

It is good to bridge the gap between fiat and bitcoin if no direct bitcoin payments are possible. But these cards solely depend on apple pay and google pay. Two monopolistic gatekeepers. Using it is like building your own prison. They will not only know your identity but also your spending habits.
To align with the ideals of bitcoin and in the absence of bitcoin payments you should use: gift cards(payed with bitcoin), physical cash, then your physical bankcard and as a last resort these virtual cards.

Great, keep up the good work! I understand that you like privacy coins and probably exclusively monero. I haven't researched monero well, but can it function as a medium of exchange at scale? If a small country would work on a monero standard, would it work? How big would the blocks become if you have millions of transactions per day.

2026-09-23 11:34:41 UTC

- reply

What you forget to mention is the fact that bitcoin, being a transparent ledger, makes its usability as a medium of exchange vulnerable. Governments treat it as an asset that is taxable. Spending it triggers capital gains tax. Taxes also apply to monero, but at least with monero and other privacy coins you have a bigger chance at starting a circular/parallel economy.

It is even more worse then you think. The government does not print money. They borrow. Someone else is printing the money. If the government would print the money there would be no national debt. Let that sink in. The elephant in the room is: why do countries have a national debt?
If you tell this to the Normies they look at you if you come from another planet. They cannot comprehend it. The discussion can't even start. Only silence ... And then they continue with another conversation topic ...

Assuming this is a serious question: If you can check the code (which you can with open source) you can see what the software/app is doing. Like sending your (private) data to a central server you do not control. You then can choose to not use this software. With closed source you can't know because you can't check.

If you claim something you shoud explain it. You claim monero is inferior to bitcoin in every way. Also you say you are not interested in monero. I don't understand this. Are you not interested because you researched it and came to the conclusion it was inferior. Then it would be very easy to share your arguments as you have them ready. Else you have other (conflicting) interests. Like: i earn my money by helping people become more private on bitcoin. If they would switch it would hurt you or something like that.

I understand that monero is private by design, which is an advantage compared to bitcoin.
So how does it compare security wise to bitcoin? I thought there was a mining attack on monero a few months ago. And what about the on-chain transaction throughput?. Bitcoin can't even sustain a small village economy. How is monero doing in this regard?

It is not speculation. It already happens as some of the miningpools show compliance to the american government. Look at https://mempool.space/nl/mining you can see that around 75% of the blocks are mined by 5 miningpools. In those pools are thousands of miners worldwide, but only 5 miningpool coordinators who built the blocks with transactions. So the CIA has to visit 5 people to censor bitcoin. That is not a lot of work for them, can be done in one day. Already one or two of these miningpools signalled compliance to the american government (I think it is foundry). Maybe the CIA told the others not to signal it publicly. Anyway you probably have still 25% of the miners/pools who are willing to process blacklisted addresses. But then you have to wait 40 minutes instead of 10 minutes. The real shit hits the fan when the regulators force the compliant miningpools not to built on blocks that did proces blacklisted addresses. Your confirmed transaction is still blocked and erased from the mainchain. But I suppose this scenario will only happen if bitcoin is so mainstream and entangled with the real economy that it will incure Hugh cost for society to switch to another system.

@kylehuber. No I mean it is overrated. What I am saying is that bitcoin might be not so censorship resistant. In other words transactions could be blocked by central powers like mining pool coordinators. Who block transactions from being processed in the blocks that their pools mine, because they follow adreslists that are blacklisted by the american government. So if you are on the blacklist your bitcoin payments will not work.

Ofcourse the amount of labor is important, but the price of a good is determined by the subjective valuation of individuals. The value is not determined by the amount of labor put in it. And that is what the labor theory of value states. I have put so many hours in this product so it must have value. It doesn't work like that. But central planners decide to produce goods with lots of labor and resources and think it has value. It leads to huge misallocation of resources and labor, because in communism you don't have the feedback loop of subjective valuation through the pricing mechanism they don't know what to produce in which amounts. You can not do economic calculations without prices.

The transparency of bitcoin transactions makes it non-privat as most people buy bitcoin on KYC exchanges. So a coffee payed with bitcoin becomes a taxable event (capital gains tax). It is essential that not only the behavior of people change, but that private payments are developed for bitcoin for it to become a unit of account. Also the fungibility would improve, preventing bitcoins on a governments blacklist to be censored.

I have this question too. But from the perspective of the dice itself it will tend to be biased to on side of it self. So either it is biased towards the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. So those are six bias options. I guess, I am not an expert, that this will reduce your entropy significantly. Let's say you use only one dice that tends towards the side with the number 5 more then the other sides and you throw it 256 times. I think you will throw significantly less combinations, meaning this bias will lead to guessable seeds.
I don't know what will happen to your entropy if you would use 256 different dices. Does 256 biased dices lower your entropy? Probably not if they do not have the exact same bias. But maybe an expert can answer this question.

He could not have fixed it for seeds already created. But to let people continue create weak seeds is just pure evil. Are you saying he could not have upgraded the firmware without exposing the 'bug'. I think he could have done it 'silently'. Or he could have launched a new product line with new code and stop selling the corrupt devices. But he didn't. So this looks intentional.
