I would like to see some actual arguments against LN from Monero fans. It's always "bUt YoUr CuStOdIaN kNoWs EvErYtHiNg!!1!!!!!" like Monero in someone else's custody doesn't face the same problems.

Sorry, but this is your source? An AI-generated video talking about a huge conspiracy theory no one could see through and just kept pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into? I agree that the media often exaggerate things for clicks, but that isn't an argument against technology. I would like to hear an argument that couldn't be used in history against computers, airplanes or AI. These two cited guys are probably basing their calculations on the assumption that things will go in the same direction, but nobody knows if there won't be a breakout in the future (and as always there will be).

I hope Bitcoin will someday destroy democracies around the world. Because democracy and freedom aren't exactly compatible. Bitcoin is freedom. Democracy is when the majority of people decide what to do with your Bitcoin.

Thank you, that sounds very interesting :)

The missing minute

I know this site for some time, but only now I've decided to try it! The first mention of SN I've seen was on Twitter or Nostr, if I remember correctly.

It depends on what kind of benefit but in most cases it means that someone else lost their freedom

The worst part about this is that a lot of people will eventually defend the government and banning the usage of GrapheneOS (or all not-by-police-hackable OSes) after some fearmongering story will be successfully pushed by media. We desperately need to teach people that when something is a crime or is making policework difficult it doesn't make the thing immoral.
