For self custody, it seems to be great
But MAGIC Grants is fedded. Justin Ehrenhofer is a fed, works with the Feds, and has no business funding or giving grants to Monero developers. The same reason I speak out against Zcash I’ll speak out against MAGIC.
1 pr and update, your TX history and anonymity is gone. It’s one thing to trust devs who constantly push even more privacy. It’s another to trust an entity whose head is seeking to deanon Monero for “lawful purposes”. Couple with the incoming CARROT viewkeys (which I support), this is a bad recipe in the making.

Here’s the Chainalysis training video they gave to the IRS.
https://odysee.com/@takebackourtech:f/chainalysis_XMR:d
6:50 “…increasing ring size to 100s will make our jobs that much more difficult”
13:35 “…a lot of how we do our Monero tracing is through involves IP observation…”
13:55 “Dandelion has made that impossible.”
15:15 “Here we see are stealth addresses. We can’t just toss that into the search bar and see other transactions from that user.”
Minutes 16 through 18 show how they use heuristic probability with fees and number of decoys. They also are using the older 10 decoy setup and not the current 16, soon to be hundreds of thousands with FCMP++
19:55 “…are greyed out. These are our tool ruling out some decoys. It uses a variety of heuristics to determine some of those {decoys} may have been previously spent”
20:20 “… We have an output labeled RPC. This will always draw our attention. What that means is a user connected to one of our nodes to broadcast their transaction.”
20:35 to end: Shows transaction hashes from MorphToken swapping service. They didn’t trace it without having bad OPSEC. The subject used Chainalysis nodes to broadcast his transactions. That was on Exodus, a lightweight wallet where there’s no self-custody. It was also relying on 10 decoys. Chainalysis isn’t going to show a hard to trace for training, they want to show exactly how they did it to find other like transactions.
So yeah, the Chainalysis can’t trace Monero easily and a lot of tracing in this video relied on decoys, heuristics, sloppy OPSEC, and subpoena’d data because of Bitcoin transactions being public.

2026-02-26 13:15:48 UTC

Explain where I’m wrong
A CEX is like the towns water department. There’s a single entity responsible for providing you water. You fail to pay, they shut you off.
A DEX is like the whole town having a backyard well but instead of just connecting to your house, it also connects to the pipe under the road. If you or I stop providing water, the rest of the homes provide it. As long as I provide water, I get paid by how much goes out. This is like me connecting my wallet to Hyperliquid, setting my Monero price, and receiving any approved crypto in exchange for my Monero.
Reto is similar to you coming over and asking for a bucket of water. It’s decentralized in the fact you can ask any or all of your neighbors for buckets of water. It is using TOR so instead of you going to my front door from the street, you come to the back door after going through 2-12 backyards to my house.
Is that really a decentralized exchange or is it a decentralized Craigslist?

Where does one acquire Monero without losing 5-10% in fees to swaps or P2P premium

2026-02-19 17:57:30 UTC

My response to an OG Monero developer who said take on Skylight and Justin wasn’t correct.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I appreciate and respect your take. The Monero OG devs have seen a lot and experienced it too.
The issue with Justin, when boiled down or dug into or however else you want to distill it, is the same thing Bitcoin has gone through. That is the capture dev team for personal or corporate gains, however you look at it or choose to believe.
Yes, he could have been very influential in the beginning. He chose to use that knowledge for personal gain against the ethos of what Monero was created to be. That knowledge was patented, productized, and sold to unwind the very thing he helped build. His motives now are clouded in those choices. Now, he’s using that same wealth to pay for the product development he is ultimate trying to destroy.
This puts him very close to the auditors, developers, and influencers because of money he acquired to destroy Moneros privacy. There is no argument you need to be paid. The money you receive though is tainted, not only by how it was gotten but by the friendship he’s developed. Epstein didn’t finance and help capture Bitcoin directly, he funneled it through grants and friendships.
Sometimes it takes new eyes, new ideas, and new blood to realize maybe the very thing you believe needs to be challenged and reevaluated. The hardest thing to do is reevaluate friendships that have been built with blood.
While I may be wrong on how this product works currently, you know as well as I do you can be just as malicious with open source code as you can be with closed source due to a variety of things that include complacency, trust, timing, etc. We are looking at a development company whose direction is taken from a man who wants to productize breaking Monero.
The reason cypherpunks build is to be sovereign and private. It’s continually improved upon because of actors such as Justin and the Federal Governments. Comes back to the Biblical proverb that “the love of money is the root of all evil”. It’s continually improved because it is continually under attack. If it wasn’t attacked, Bitcoin would be pseudo perfect.
Bitcoin is an evolution of currency, Monero is a forged tool where Bitcoin has failed to protect sovereignty and privacy. 2 different roots, 2 different outcomes. So you best believe I try to take an objective approach to the overview and point out where we are close to becoming like Bitcoin, all for a few thousand dollars. Bitcoin was inevitable but Monero wasn’t. So I want Monero to not only stay true to its course but also survive bad actors, even friendly millionaires who bled with the very people who made Monero what it is.

What is Moonstone known for? Crescent Discovery, a tool that tries to help deanonymize Monero.
What better way to capture FCMP++ data than having a lot of users (most who don’t change default nodes) use your poisoned nodes with your wallet. This helps mature the patent and tool. How it deanonymizes is with poisoned nodes or wallets as it needs an identifying “enote” to start the trace

Everyone’s talking Silver and Gold
Monero though is breaking out. This is digital wealth that refuses to be subject to market manipulation, regulatory control, and public analysis
It requires purposeful steps to own, much like physical metals. You can’t just buy the paper version from an exchange and expect to own it.
If you want to own it, you will want to go through the steps to acquire it. If you want to sell it for cash, you will go through steps to figure it out. If you want to purchase items with it, there’s plenty of places to use it.

Since when is having the best tech more important than having the best community?
XMR is king of privacy crypto and is not slowing down. ZEC is in ETHs position and will remain so.
ETH is better than BTC and LTC combined with TPD
Yet ETH can’t usurp BTC. It’s pretty much centralized and captured. It has a very central head like ZEC does. The irony is in the comparison.

Nah, he slipped up way before on the Bitcoin side
Same old story with these hacks:
• Tiny test transaction in BTC
• CEX hits (KYC leaks, emails, IPs)
• Linking wallets to his email servers
BTC clustering heuristics nailed the ID early. Switching to Monero after? It’s like putting on a mask outside of the bank doors you’re trying to rob
Privacy isn’t a magical shield. It's your whole damn playbook.
Monero shields the moves, but can't fix dumb upstream mistakes

From Shanaka Anslem Perera on X
The Silent Seizure of Bitcoin Has Already Begun
What took governments 15 years to fail at through regulation, Wall Street accomplished in 18 months through optimization.
The numbers don’t lie … they scream:
BlackRock’s IBIT alone: 802,000 Bitcoin. That’s 4% of all Bitcoin ever mineable, held by one entity. Total US spot ETFs control 1.25 million BTC … 6.3% of circulating supply … concentrated in Coinbase vaults.
Since July’s SEC approval of in-kind transfers, over $3 billion in Bitcoin has moved from self-custody to institutional control, enabling 20-37% tax deferral while capturing an additional 5-7% of supply within 12 months.
Here’s what nobody’s connecting: On-chain transaction volume has collapsed 15% since Q2. Addresses holding more than 1 BTC are declining 8% quarterly …. the first reversal in Bitcoin’s 15-year history.
Economic nodes dropped from 60,000 to 52,000. The Lightning Network has stagnated. Fee revenue is evaporating while mining costs remain fixed, threatening network security itself.
Meanwhile, 30-day volatility compressed from 45% to 38% … projected to hit 30-35% by 2026. This mirrors gold’s trajectory post-ETF launch: 40% volatility reduction in three years, 30% supply centralization by 2010.
The mechanism is surgical: Low-basis whales swap Bitcoin for ETF shares tax-free. Custody transfers to Coinbase. Supply disappears from circulation.
Price discovery fragments … spot markets now represent just 45% of volume, down from 80%, while CME and ETF flows dominate at 55% combined.
But here’s the systemic risk nobody’s pricing in: ETF sponsors retain sole discretion to select the “valid” chain in protocol forks.
When custodians controlling 6-10% of supply signal their preference, they effectively veto contentious upgrades … privacy enhancements, scaling improvements, anything non-compliant with AML regulations.
This isn’t theoretical. Bitcoin Cash’s 2017-2018 forks left 16-17% of nodes stranded when economic majority chose differently.
The parallels to 1933 are haunting: FDR’s Executive Order 6102 confiscated gold at $20.67, then revalued to $35 …. a 69% wealth transfer. The mechanism? Centralized custody.
Today’s ETFs create identical seizure vectors, but the confiscation is voluntary, incentivized, and irreversible.
Top four mining pools control 55% of hashrate. US geographic concentration sits at 45%. AWS hosts 75% of relay infrastructure.
The 51% attack vector has quietly shifted from nation-state adversary to state-custodian cooperation.
We’re witnessing the transformation of rebel money into spreadsheet collateral. Bitcoin’s success as a reserve asset is simultaneously its failure as sovereign money.
Arrow’s impossibility theorem proves itself at scale: you cannot have decentralization, institutional adoption, and protocol sovereignty simultaneously.
By 2030, projections show 70% supply capture by compliant custody. Price may hit $200,000+.
Volatility may compress to equity-like levels. But the asset that reaches that milestone won’t be the Bitcoin that started this revolution.
The speciation has already begun: BTF (Bitcoin TradFi) versus BTS (Bitcoin Sovereign) …. two chains, two visions, two incompatible futures.
What matters now: custody concentration above 10% triggers protocol ossification. A custodian hack exceeding $5 billion reverses the trend.
Bitcoin below $50,000 forces mass redemptions and self-custody resurgence.
The choice crystallizes: allocate 50-70% to self-custody for sovereignty, 30-50% to ETFs for liquidity …. but understand that threshold risk at 20% concentration signals the point of no return.
This isn’t evolution or corruption. It’s something more profound: proof that scale itself is incompatible with pure decentralization.
The question isn’t whether Bitcoin will be captured .. it’s whether what remains after capture still deserves the name.
