You are blinded by ideology. Zealous to the extreme, with an ego so fragile that even the slightest criticism or opposing view sets you off. Writing in all caps in half of your posts does not get the point across any better and makes you look like a blabbering fool.
Want to keep losing credibility in this space, continue acting the way you are. There is a way to protect people from shitcoins aggressively as you have and maintain a level head. Seriously, wishing you the best, as you have legitimately helped many people in the bitcoin community, myself included.
For more you learn about Bitcoin you became more toxic with shitcoiners.
You are still a young padawan if you still don't know this.
If my toxicity bothers you, that means you still have a lot to learn about Bitcoin...
I totally agree with you and understand your view. Although it may not seem like it, I am 100% Bitcoin. I owe a lot to your videos, texts and tutorials.
As I said above, my intent was only to present alternatives for holders of shitcoins (like XMR) to get out and into Bitcoin. But, I understood your logic and recognized my failure in trying to use a didactic using the enemy (shitcoin) itself.
I apologize for that and thank you very much for another learning from you.
The question is: who in the right mind will give his sats for useless shitcoin monero?
You have to be insane to give away your sats.
Just by posting this you promote giving away sats... for shitcions. So you literally support a shitcoin and push people to use that shitcoin.
STOP posting anything about shitcoins.
Bitcoin ONLY. FUCK'EM'ALL
Your logic is broken.
In order to have those shitcoins out, somebody have to pay in sats for them.
That means, somebody will get scammed giving his sats for a shitcoin.
Please explain how you will have "shitcoins out" and "bitcoin in" without "bitcoins out"...
No wonder we have so many scams and shitcoins, because people like you do not use their brain in this simple logic.
I kinda agree with him, though. This is becoming a life/death situation for many around the world. Shitcoins are actually hurting people by distracting them from Bitcoin.
I don't think we can be "toxic" enough about this.
There isn't strong privacy on Bitcoin, and Lightning privacy is broken (cite - #90648), which would mean getting people to use it in dangerous situations is unsafe.
I give you 100 sats over LN. Please find my real identity and the UTXO from where I bought those sats even with KYC. Please come to my door with the proof.
If you are able to prove that LN privacy is broken AF I will give you 1BTC.
Well, it may be a shitcoin but I don't think it will die anytime soon anyway since one can buy stuff with it on DNMs.
So why not use it as the tool it is? Because then "I am supporting it"?
If I can achieve privacy more efficiently by using monero, I will.
If I can achieve privacy more efficiently by swapping into LN and back to onchain, I will.
Same with coin joins etc.
I know you are a hardliner regarding shitcoins but I tend to be more pragmatic.
I don't see how using this will hurt bitcoin or anyone else in any way.
People buy monero because they want to buy stuff on DNMs. And that definitely does work.
So I don't see how they are getting scammed or whatever other (valid!) reason you may bring up when talking about other shitcoins.
Better using a private shitcoin then using sats without privacy. Privacy is a human right and Bitcoin is not able to serve this. It's not private by design, so its only suitable for governments being transparent and Monero is for the people. True story, so please stop crying and start to push Bitcoins privacy in the right direction
I don't own Monero or plan to own any, but I think it's a pretty cool tool for Bitcoiners to anonymize themselves if they need to. There's a lot of FUD slung in both directions, but I am glad Monero exists.
It is: A) a sincere project, not a scam, and 2) does things a bit differently than Bitcoin. Whether Monero gains long term success vs. Bitcoin will help us determine whether our theses are right or wrong.
It's great to have more privacy preserving ways to swap from BTC to Fiat (using gift cards, P2P, etc) and BTC to shitcoins (atomic swaps). This is how BTC matures into the most saleable form of value.
It's very difficult to be BTC-only today. BTC is not mature enough to be accepted by utilities, groceries stores, and tax agencies. BTC is not private enough to be used by most anonymous markets anymore.
I earn in BTC, I spend in BTC, I hold BTC. Because I want it and fuck the banks. If you still don't do it that means you still do not want BTC... so HFSP.
Taxes? Are you out of your mind to pay taxes? Especially with your BTC? No fucking way!
Yes, its possible to live on BTC only. We you are a sovereign individual that dedicated years to learn the way and you've made it your mission to educate others as well. Most people are not willing to do the work required to use BTC for EVERY situation.
The easiest option is to pay taxes, groceries and utilities in Fiat. It's easier to pay taxes than to avoid them.
Shitcoins offer easy privacy when privacy on BTC is hard. The easiest method for darknet is shitcoin.
The flower does not dream to educate the bee on the utility of pollen, it simply flowers and the bee comes.
