😂 Pray for this guy 🙏 Such an illness can cause permanent damage

so, you think your gov can not take your kyc'ed coins?

I was trying to point to your monero statement ...

reply

so monero does not fix this?

reply

how can it fix anything with MC less than PEPE and dogwifhat, not to mention such blue chips as SHIB?

reply

how is this related?

Market tells you LOUDLY that it wants private ways to move Bitcoin rather than another altcoin.

reply

How do you figure that? Where is the Bitcoin layer everyone uses for privacy? All the general crypto market is saying is it wants NGU. Completely unrelated to private transactions.

That only relevant markets that we can say have a dire need of privacy and anonymity are Darknet Markets and Bitcoin is being phased out there in favor of Monero.

All the layers I can think of except Rootstock offer some privacy:

  • LN hides senders assuming they do routing on their own
  • Liquid hides amounts
  • Cashu hides everything except amounts
  • Fedi is a hypothetical offspring of Liquid and Cashu, check out its beta

Also check out dark.fi, they're sort of like Liquid but with ZK, and they move Bitcoin and various cryptos privately.

The market segment that has the dire need of privacy values privacy, sure. But the market as a whole doesn't value it that much. So if I planned to only buy drugs in the future, then I'll stock up on Monero. But I plan to buy food, so I'll stock up on what the market in general values, which is Bitcoin.

market says the normies dont give a shit about privacy, only about number go up.

I am not sure what monero fixes since I am not an expert of private coins. I also do not know how to verify these coin's privacy approach. By the way if we are already discussing this, could you tell me how can be verified the supply of Monero if the balance of addresses are unknown ? To continue, have you checked the performance of monero compared to btc ? I believe monero is rather a tool than a currency. Again you may know much more about this topic however this is how I see it. Feel free to correct me.

Coins are briefly visible as they are mined so you can count them manually as they enter supply. You can also run a Monero node and have it audit circulating supply for you. No different from how every Bitcoiner verifies in practice

I just see Bitcoin as another tool as well. It does some things better than Monero and some things worse. And to be honest Bitcoin and Monero are both just mediums of exchange at the moment. Neither really meets all the criteria for a money.

How can you call a guy for pray if you don't even understand how Monero works.

to be honest, i just wrote monero fixes this to trigger some low iq coiners here. Its my way of pointing out that bitcoin has a huuuuuge problem as we create our own fully transparent database of transactions, ready to be exploited by governments around the world.

The total supply of Monero can be audited like this:

The Monero blockchain is still publicly auditable. While individual transactions are private, the total supply can be verified by auditing the entire blockchain. By analyzing all transactions, it's possible to ensure that no XMR has been created out of thin air or lost due to double spending.

Monero's consensus mechanism, based on proof-of-work, ensures that all transactions are valid and that the total supply adheres to the protocol rules. Miners validate transactions and ensure that no new coins are created beyond the predetermined emission schedule.

Monero has a transparent emission schedule, meaning the rate at which new coins are created is known. By tracking the block rewards over time, it's possible to verify that the emission matches the expected schedule.

But i dont want to get into a Monero vs. Bitcoin discussion, i just wanted to support the argument of the threads autor that we have still a tremendous problem with a completely transparent blockchain and we might dig our own grave currently.

I see, if that's the case then don't worry about it. Because you can use bitcoin privately. It only depends on you how to use it. There is no problem government see all transactions and account balances. Just because they see doesn't me that they know who really owns those coins.

if what is the case?
