There is a grocery store in Long Island, New York that accepts #Monero directly. No gift cards, no converting into another currency. Straight up cold hard Monero.
Doug and Sunitafrom Monerotopia/Monero Talk paid them a visit and did a little shopping. https://xmrbazaar.com/listing/8Wb6/

Whats the deal with Proton Privacy? They're releasing a Bitcoin wallet (Proton Wallet) which integrates with ProtonMail allowing users to send BTC to email addresses.
Thats good, right?
Well, theres a lot mixed signals and conflicting stances made by Proton. Lets dissect. https://image.nostr.build/e5a35b732b20178d46b0747389c7b80899f66a382ca6fa86a3aed9cb096ba0d3.jpg
Proton is a privacy centric company. Their first product Proton Mail was e2e encrypted email. Every product offered by Proton since has made privacy a priority.
With the exception of Proton Wallet.
Not only is Bitcoin anti-privacy, the Proton Wallet itself offers no privacy tools at launch such as coinjoin or silent payments.
Instead of a complementing its privacy products, Proton Wallet risks linking users' emails to their real identities. https://image.nostr.build/e7b0d9430dcd43260c32d074ce007211c5efae1f39db2d663c40a8e476b83d6e.jpg
While the most requested private payment option, has gone ignored since 2018.
Note: this isnt asking Proton to make a Monero wallet or allow Monero payments to email addresses. It is simply asking Proton to accept Monero payments for their products. To protect user privacy.
https://image.nostr.build/d76178d0ed82d40c82fb14793c5911f825bdfd742788c194a5630e820fc00632.jpg
Yesterday, the Proton team replied to a reddit post asking about a possible Monero integration.
"because of the risk of associating Proton with criminality. Unfortunately, at present, Monero support in Proton Wallet would not assuage those concerns." https://libreddit.bus-hit.me/r/ProtonWallet/comments/1ebbpub/monero_integration/
https://image.nostr.build/06ad7d1b715dfc3a32c93bfeb5fa470e45c30b2c0e17012e646c28e54a508477.jpg
Besides there being no legal basis for assuming that creating a Monero wallet or simply accepting Monero payments is illegal, it also directly contradicts their ethos of providing privacy services in spite of government approval.
https://image.nostr.build/40280ef246d498775319fdfb7948444827f5e3e6e257e4ce3fd3387170c0d7ef.jpg
The unwillingness to offer Monero payment option due to perceived legal risks also contradicts the fact that Proton accepted Bitcoin donations at the peak of Bitcoin's Darknet days and mainstream narrative that it was a tool for criminals, much like Monero is portrayed today.
To add insult to injury, Proton Wallet makes this meaningless comment on "shitcoins" with no further context, which is the crypto equivalent of "Go woke go broke" as it panders to a minority of crypto users while alienating the rest of its userbase.
The only logical conclusion I can come to is that Proton has been infected with the Bitcoin maxi woke mind virus. Putting ideology ahead of ethos and logic.
Such careless disregard for their users' privacy may be the first nail in the Proton coffin.
What do you think?

It's been a year since I tried to use Nostr and coming back now I see that the user experience is still absolute shit.

Monero is just as capable of storing wealth as Bitcoin if not more. There is nothing inherent to monero that makes it not so. The government would love you to believe Monero can't store value. Monero has eternal demand because it does something no other digital asset can do.
Monero has a low inflation rate. Currently 0.86%, same as Bitcoin post halving.
Monero has a lower total circulating supply than Bitcoin until the year 2040.
There is a cost associated with creating new Monero. Nobody can arbitrarily inflate the supply

False, old outdated FUD. Monero supply is is auditable. Monero uses well understood and battle-tested cryptography which has been peer reviewed by hundreds if not thousands of eyes. Run a node, verify the supply. The code is open source. moneroinflation.com https://twitter.com/DontTraceMeBruh/status/1378806458679169027

Just fucking use Monero already. Bitcoin blew its 15 year lead on creating an alternative system. No privacy = no freedom. We can't afford to fail again.
Instead of just copy pasting the cypherpunk manifesto, actually read what it says. Bitcoin is the antithesis of the manifesto.

2024-04-25 18:12:51

If you held funds in Samourai, you should convert all Bitcoin to #Monero immediately, ESPECIALLY if you did not run your own Dojo.
DO NOT just migrate to a new bitcoin wallet They can continue to track your funds that way.

"Use Monero for spending, use Bitcoin for savings"
NO.
STOP FUCKING AROUND.
Bitcoin's best privacy tool was taken down. Privacy is the foundation of freedom. Bitcoin is NOT SAFE.
Use Monero for spending. Use #Monero for saving.

Actually, that figure is too low. It's actually more like 400x to 1000x

Is only a waste of time if I gain nothing from it.
I'm flipping sats for 3x to 10x their nominal face value. Sooo, nothing is being wasted ;)

I've also been hunting for rare sats.
Coinjoin, put the sats through ord wallet and scan them. If no rare sats, put them through coinjoin and repeat.

The rush to be first with low inscription numbers definetely dying down. Higher quality projects or original ideas will take their time and not worry about being early.
Its also just a sunday. Yesterday i inscribed around 50 .sats names. Today another 15

hm idk man,
if 1 sat = 1 sat and they were all equal, we wouldn't need coinjoin.
Inscriptions didn't change anything, but it did take advantage of sats being distinguishable
but if you wanna say your sats "identify as" fungible, I will try and address them as such to not hurt their feelings.
either way, this sat looks rare idc what anyone says

I have nothing against storing arbitrary data on Monero.
NFTs and inscriptions are completely different than simple data storage. Inscriptions being an NFT protocol not only store data but also track the ownership of that data, making the token they are attached to non-fungible. This would defeat the whole purpose of Monero.

I'm just critical of the things i believe in and wish to succeed. Ive always held more bitcoin than monero or anything else.

To the contrary. I have more of it.

You don't need fungibility to have good privacy, but you do need complete privacy for fungibility.
That's the main difference between #Bitcoin    and #Monero. There is no better at everything. They are complementary because they are each good at different things.

1 sat = 3.675 BTC

You shouldn't need people to care about privacy because good money should default to it. Meaning that the average person gets it without having to do anything extra. Their lack of privacy and fungibility impacts everyone in that system and makes those who seek out privacy, such as coinjoining, stand out.
Privacy isn't Bitcoin's weakness. Anyone can be reasonably private by using bitcoin "properly". Fungibility is a much bigger issue. Without it, bitcoin fails at being money.

No thanks. That's why I'm excited for ordinals on Bitcoin. Bitcoin isn't money.
Monero is money and NFTs on Monero should never happen.

Ordinal Inscriptions in #Bitcoin are an immutable cultural time capsule.
