USD

only 1 node
1% of holders own 30%
25% supply minted in the last 6 months
38 million notes printed every day
loses at least 3% of value every year

Yea, it's the biggest rug pull in history

I mean... its really not. Not even close. But maybe I am thinking to much about it. I know its cool to say stuff like this but it sounds extremely off.

pretty sure Ethereum and Solana are worse shitcoins when you actually think about it

Yeah nah, $37Trillion+ debt that will never be repaid...USD is surely the biggest shitcoin rug pull ever.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @kilianbuhn 22 Apr

Why are you defending Ethereum here? Disgusting shitcoiner

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Solomonsatoshi 22 Apr

I watch ETH going down every day and rejoice. But the USD, and its decline, it's a more grand, complex and nuanced story. It is the story of the decline of western civilization. In terms of sheer scale, arrogance, greed and gall - USD is BY FAR the greatest shitconnery ever imposed upon humanity. You will do anything to avoid the truth, and that is telling...

Monero, because it's unique in its psychological exploitation.

It's not about gains, utility, or in-grouping like every other shitcoin, but a much more insidious attack on Bitcoin by perpetuating false narratives about privacy.

What are the false narratives?

100 sats \ 15 replies \ @justin_shocknet 21 Apr

Any contrast to Bitcoin, whether that its more private, a "true" digital cash vs. a speculative vehicle, more utilitarian, more ethical...

It has to justify its existence by comparing itself to the standard which is Bitcoin, and by every measure it is found wanting.

It's more insidious because it's inherently divisive. Your typical scam coin is only there to make gains in a zero-sum environment which as we know can't escape the gravity of Bitcoin being the measure of wealth.

By my own logic though maybe BCash should be the shittiest shitcoin.

strangely enough... OP didn't put BCH and XMR in the poll...

XMR would never have occurred to me, since real people actually use it for real stuff, and have done for years. It provides practical utility, right now. The objections to it are still unclear to me.

BCH's shittiness I already perfectly understand, so no reason to mention it.

stupid people use it for stupid stuff ... It feigns utility

If you have a more substantive critique of XMR I'd be interested in reading it.

They say its more private and you're just like ok?

Every year we have new candidates, from what I’ve seen. This year it’s Kaspa and XRP.

XRP is the opposite of a new candidate.

Obviously ETH is the most shit of all ... a centralized and corrupt system, used as a sect for those stupid who believed that would exceed Bitcoin.

And from it, the other shit arose.

Bigger and More corrupt than the USD?

It could never be bigger and more corrupt than the dollar ... that is super clear.

I thought you were talking only about cryptocurrencies.

Etherium and Solana more suitable and profitable

The fight between these for the title is good.

At the moment I believe that XRP wins because of all the lobbying it has done against Bitcoin, not that it matters, since it doesn't get in the way at all. But the fact that it positions itself as an enemy doesn't please me.

Ethereum is the shittiest because it should have died completely when Vitalik hard forked the entire chain to censor one smart contract.

In the list you provided, BNB is hands-down the worst.

The others have some kind of use and offer at least some decentralization.

Sadly, it does get worse than BNB. The ones that are obviously designed to be rug-pulls, such as Hawk Tuah, Squid-Game, Trump/Melania, and thousands of other like this. These are the worst because the scam is so blatant.
