And most Monero users I know think the same way.<br/><br/>Sure, if you dig deep enough you will find the Bitcoin Maxi counterpart, the Monero Maxi. The only difference between them is that the Bitcoin Maxi has deeper pockets by now, but their dogmatic adherence to each project and the religious reasons behind that stance are essentially the same, even if for slightly different reasons.<br/><br/>For everyone else (99%+) that is not how it goes, however.<br/><br/>Monero is a tool. Bitcoin is a tool. That is all.<br/><br/>Like every other tool, sometimes tool A is better than tool B for purpose X.<br/><br/>Less abstractly, there can simply be no doubt that when it comes to preserving your privacy and anonymity, transacting with Monero comes with much stronger guarantees than with Bitcoin: onchain is a disaster, Liquid and Lightning it really depends on the situation (generally fine and private enough for small to medium transactions IF the user knows what he&#39;s doing AND chooses the right software wallet).<br/><br/>Only a fool or a dogmatic true believer would think anything else.<br/><br/>It is what it is. Maybe one day it will change, but today this is the situation.<br/><br/>Likewise, if you want to hold on and quite possibly increase your stored value, Bitcoin is a better choice and has the track record to show that without any doubt.<br/><br/>It is for that reason that I, like most Monero users I know, keep the stash in #bitcoin BUT spend in #monero or bitcoin lightning.<br/><br/>We optimize for privacy and anonymity, because we understand that is the only way we won&#39;t find ourselves deeper in the mass-surveillance shithole that the collective actions of uncritical unthinking masses (who accepted or failed to acknowledge the mass surveillance) have led us to.<br/><br/>(And I have to say, we tried to warn you all. For years. Well, here we are.)<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>So it is not either-or, and it not a competition. I don&#39;t see any incongruence in believing in #bitcoin for storing my wealth, but prefering to spend it in #monero especially when tools like #bisq #seraidex #basicswapdex exist.<br/><br/>I&#39;m not a worse bitcoiner for using #monero - that nonsense has to stop. And it begins with you, dear reader.<br/><br/>Use the tools. Give space to others to do the same.<br/><br/>With some luck, if enough of us optimize for freedom instead of dogma, we will renormalize financial privacy in our lifetime. 2024-05-27T12:43:59Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs2j9el890fsaxcseham209p6322rs4mprge2n5um4fckug82pdugszypsl65r7gqcev3u6ut4w8nat759cmqtkrpdku6slqcj9spgu7ynxjmpneys Bitcoin maxis will rave on about #ecash which has nothing at all to do with Bitcoin per se - the mints that exist today just happen to issue Bitcoin IOUs, but just as easily it could be any other cryptocurrency - while at the same time accepting that the mint could rug them at any time.<br/><br/>But they won&#39;t consider #monero<br/><br/>Now don&#39;t get me wrong, I think ecash applied to cryptocurrency is a very interesting idea and we have not seen the end of its possibilities yet.<br/><br/>But this discrepancy is troubling. It is not consistent. It is not the product of rational thought. 2024-05-27T12:29:16Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsz8xtrej5pjk0elj2fve3vuppzr0uwphwmhprrquewl6g24q6g7vczypsl65r7gqcev3u6ut4w8nat759cmqtkrpdku6slqcj9spgu7ynxjtmjdej Mass-surveillance is often the prelude to the uniformization of opinion and the crushing of dissent.<br/><br/>#privacy 2024-05-24T11:38:27Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqswua98dd6z8a5lef66an4xvfx2eqd3t9mcyt9mhrxkpjx3nt50yvqzypsl65r7gqcev3u6ut4w8nat759cmqtkrpdku6slqcj9spgu7ynxjw7kjse In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdrkrdrs4fgljuwwf695gcna4s3esfq76kup57h76jxe04hmj985s5wyqu0'>nevent1q…yqu0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thank you...

Wasabi, Samourai (Bitcoin), Tornado Cash (Ethereum), Monero.<br/><br/>All banned (Wasabi, Samourai, Tornado Cash) or shadowbanned (Monero).<br/><br/>The why should be obvious. Those are tools to enhance privacy and anonymity, which tilts the balance of power in favor of the individual and away from the gigantic and out of control State bureaucracy.<br/><br/>Do you understand? They don&#39;t waste time calling this or that a shitcoin. They just ORGANIZE and get rid of as much as they can, as effectively as they can, and put fear in the minds of others who would dare to defy them.<br/><br/>The pretense of democracy quickly falls when their system of control is threatened.<br/><br/>We should take a page from their playbook, and understand that a tool that gives more financial privacy is a tool that gives more financial privacy. Even if it&#39;s on a different chain, or indeed, *is* a different chain.<br/><br/>We&#39;re not talking about football clubs here. These are just tools. Tools that help us be more free.<br/><br/>Divided we&#39;re easy to conquer.
