Likely you spend a couple weeks in jail, maybe get out and as soon as you move it, you go to jail again. Whats the difference between funds you can not move or funds you do not have?

2024-08-28 23:04:07

- reply

How exactly? When you bought on a KYC exchange, the state knows that you bought and have it, then they come to your home and you will give it to them, else you go to jail.
How is that hard to confiscate for an entity with an monopoly on violence?

Pura Vida Bitcoiners, 564 sat/byte transaction fees again on BTC, such a great form of money, just costs me $50 for a transaction, good we never increased the blocksize.
This is how we win, hodl hodl, never sell, laser eyes!

The self custodial UX on lightning is just terrible.

2024-08-09 16:52:31

- reply

UX is still terrible if you dont want to use a custodial wallet. Fees are way higher than a few sats if you dont transact within the same wallet ecosystem.
Lightning has promised a lot and has not delivered on its promises at all. Relying on Lightning to scale BTC was a huge mistake and it has set back BTC development for many years.

AML tools for chain analysis do not work on Monero. On BTC it is already a problem

2024-08-07 12:56:24

IMO the switch is inevitable. People will realize that BTC is not usable as money without custodians, AML and KYC.
Will take some time for sure but i am confident that people who invest in privacy tech now will be the big winners in the end.

2024-08-07 12:39:03

Technically XMR is not in a uptrend against BTC yet, so i bettter DCA.
Also, i have not given up hope that BTCers will wake up, see and fix the flaws of BTC.

2024-08-06 16:45:54

I will convert BTC to Monero every day until i either run out of BTC or BTC evolves into something which can actually liberate people instead of enslave them.

2024-08-06 16:43:13

Good thing we do not build privacy into BTC so they can arrest and punish us easier, build graphs on who we transact with and go after our friends and family as well. Freedom money, fuck yeah!

People must be able to choose if they want to store their value publicly or privately. It has to happen.

IDK what you are talking about, they have their printer and its running great. There is nothing which forces governments to use BTC - and they will surely not do it for stuff you should not know in their opinion.
Monero keeps an incentive for miners to mine blocks with its tail emission. BTC will sooner or later switch to that too, wait for it.
BTC lost almost all properties which made it revolutionary. It will lose the 21m cap too.

Made me sad too, then i started buying Monero with BTC, now i feel better again ;)

2024-07-31 17:31:26

As it is not Bitcoin, it is a shitcoin. Its owned by some corporate entities which get all the fees and they can censor you. If they have that possibility, they will use it when the Feds ask them to. Maybe not now but in a couple of years when Liquid infrastructure is built.
To me it is just unfathomable why BTC Maxis simp for Liquid. It is the most anti bitcoin thing i can think of.

2024-07-31 17:12:40

- reply

Sure there is not one "we".
But how many people do you know which want to dca $3 a month into BTC and think they will escape extreme poverty that way? On a ledger where a transction costs you often more than $3?
I think thats all just made up stories to justify crappy, corporate scaling solutions, so crappy that i rather use cash and a credit card instead.
Same for FEDI. If dont even have custody of our funds, we can dump that whole idea of freedom money immediately, embrace the CBDC and get some vaseline so the state can fuck us better.

There i no noncustodial L2 solution which a normie can use in a private way.

2024-07-31 16:59:49

- reply

Thought so too for a long time. I think i was delusional.
BTC without privacy onchain is the most retarded idea we ever had.
Would you store your value on a public transparent ledger with no privacy if the government would mandate it? Hell no.
But somehow people think this fundamental flaw of BTC is a advantage.
People just hodl and do not use BTC. As soon as they start using it, they see that it is a crappy medium of exchange.

2024-07-31 16:55:40

So, BTC is now something for governments and institutions if i get you right.
BTC for the Feds, Monero for the people.

Isnt Liquid just a corporate Shitcoin?
They own your BTC, you own their L-Token. They can censor your transactions on their network. It is not decentralized, the network is owned by a couple coporations.
Why should we go that path at all?

2024-07-29 20:53:49

- reply

Im in it since a very long time, i fail to see BTCs importance more and more.
It offers no privacy, gets AML and KYC´ed everywhere, anybody can see your transactions, still has a1mb blocksize, still has high tx fees onchain, is marketed as a store of value now, was a p2p currency once when i got excited about it.
Lightning promised and lied a lot and offered very little to scale in a self sovereign way.
Now people are stupid enough to want to use Liquid for scaling, a privately owned blockchain with their own shitcoin, which can censor transaction and will do everything the states want them to do... And you have to swap your bitcoin for their controlled shitcoin?
Seriously, why is BTC so important?
It has lost the properties which made it important and did not adopt features which would make it important, like privacy. CBDCs are coming and instead of helping us avoiding the tyranny, Bitcoiners are simping to politics and dont implement anything interesting because they want the state to buy the thing which should separate the money from the state...

2024-07-26 12:40:23

It is because BTC is transparent and not fungible.

"From the get go" - it is 7 years already. Lightning is still crap.
BTC is now marketed as a store of value as it lost its properties as a p2p currency. There are thousands of stores of value already, gold is one. The state has no problem with another store of value.
The state has a problem when we use our own money. Especially one which it can not trace.

2024-07-23 14:14:36

in order to realize how ridiculously crappy lightning is, you need to use it, run your own node and come to a conclusion.
NGU BTC fanbois mainly hodl and therefore do not realize how crappy BTC has become.
BTC is not decentralized at all, 12 entities control the biggest mining pools , wake up.
There is a reason why the state has no problem with BTC .

Bitcoin is being taken over by the system. My bet for freedom is on Monero.

2024-07-18 06:35:13

- reply

i would say as long as bitcoin is a transparent ledger, of course KYC and AML will turn it into a surveilance monster.
As tainted coins are a reality, we will have to AML each other as nobody wants to receive tainted coins which will cause problems for the receiver in the future.
BTC is doomed if nothing changes.

When only BTC rich people can use it in a self sovereign way, we just recreated the banking system.
Why should everybody suffer high transaction fees, even for lighning onboarding, because some dude with a shitty internet connection wants to run a full node out of his moms basement on a raspberry pie?
What does that do to the cost of a transaction?

2024-06-23 05:51:36

Bitcoin is centralized already with only 12 entities controlling the mining and block templates. Lightning is terribly centralized as everybody uses custodial wallets. Not your keys, not your coins.
Start thinking for yourself instead of repeating the lines from 2017.

2024-06-23 05:46:47

- reply

That is just not true. Monero has adaptive block size and works very well. Even BCH works well and has low fees.
I am not proposing scaling on chain only, but sticking to the 1MB limit while technology progresses is just stupid and in the end, will make BTC a failed project.

2024-06-23 05:39:58

- reply

Repeating things does not make them true though. Also nothing was settled, we never voted for a "forever 1 mb limit" in 2017. And a lot was promised in 2017 but very little was delivered.
The 1mb limit is ridiculous, a 12TB hdd costs around $100, if one wants to run a node and does not want to spend a few hundred bucks for that, he should not run one.
The result of that limit is that fewer people can afford onchain fees, self hosted lightning also gets unattractive due to high fees and most people are pushed into custodial lightning wallets, which offer zero privacy, zero sovereignty, full dependency from a third party and soon KYC and AML.
Without offering sovereignty and privacy, BTC gets integrated into the banking system and we win nothing

2024-06-22 20:05:40

- reply

shit just gets more and more complex and more and more trust in third parties is needed. Increasing the blocksize regularly and adapting to technological progress seems like such an easy and elegant solution in comparison...

2024-06-22 20:01:13

Self custodial lightning is still a total pain in the ass to use and the fees are nowhere near a few sats. At least that is my experience

2024-06-22 20:00:07

2024-06-19 19:54:12

- reply

People are people, if they bought BTC or not, does not make them smarter. Most just repeat what they heard somewhere and many can not reason on their own, they need a parent/authority their whole life to tell them what and how to think.
Maybe the early Bitcoiners were a different breed but most people who came in the last couple of years are dumb sheep. who joined a new religion.
A part of me is happy that they dont get stuff sooner, most business opportunities develop by seeing things everybody will need or want in the future much earlier and acting on it.
The other part of me hopes they will get it before it is too late.

So, is your recommendation to use BTC, a fully transparent public blockchain to hide from CBDCs with government surveillance?

2024-06-12 15:43:00

So the solution is to comply ones way out of tyranny on a transparent ledger?

2024-06-12 09:24:01

- reply

By talking about as if anything were not "legit" with transactional privacy, you clearly show what is wrong here.
A viable currency which has no privacy is no problem for any authoritarian state. Therefore its not a viable currency in the first place.

I am just saying that in hindsight, it is the real bitcoin as it was meant to be used as p2p money.

We have to fight back, no question about that. We should make it as hard as possible for them to go after us and as easy as possible for us to make them obsolete.
A zero privacy chain which is more and more being used through custodial wallets and trusted third parties ( mints ) is making it really easy for them to enslave us all
I dont see how a fully transparent store of value will get us to freedom.
We need untraceable p2p money and not use their shit anymore.

Agree with most but sure they can take it from you. They know you have it, they come to your house and they beat the shit out of you or put your in the gulag.
With a zero privacy chain we are just building our own enslavement network. We need on chain privacy now. As long as this is not on the horizon, i move my corn into Monero.

Epic new features:
#note1fex…34z7

2024-06-01 12:40:09

An idea to play with:
Currently most states let you put your savings into Bitcoin. Michael Saylor and Larry Fink say it is a great store of value. As a hedge against inflation. When even Fink says it, you think "WAGMI". You buy with KYC of course.
Over time, all your wealth is stored on a public ledger, for anybody to see, no way of hiding what you have. Non KYC BTC becomes illegal, because - terrorists, you know.
Then suddenly, a new property tax law is introduced on BTC holdings, just like we have property tax on land. X percent per year because the wellfare states need to pay their debt, or finance a war.
What are you going to do?
