Fiat Shenanigans 🤡🌎 on Nostr: ...

There are people who only want Bitcoin to win, because according to their thesis Bitcoin fixes everything.

This is one of the most outrageous things I've ever heard from people with the capacity for conscience.

What fixes everything is the inner and individual change that each person makes to become a better person, which consequently improves the community around them.

Everyone preaches change in others, but how many really want to change themselves?

Bitcoin doesn't fix anything, because bitcoin is a tool and like all tools, it doesn't have the free will to do anything on its own, it doesn't have the free will to decide to only allow its use for good.

Bitcoin was created with the main role of being a tool that removes personal exposure from the creation of new currencie, and in that respect it has fulfilled its function exemplarily so far.

Now, is Bitcoin the best tool to use as everyday money?

In my humble opinion, no, because to make a purchase or exchange goods there is no benefit in exposing so much information in a simple transaction.

Would you feel comfortable if every time you made a purchase with your bank account the person you were buying from could see how much you had in that wallet?

Is it sovereign to use your main wallet to make payments in Bitcoin?

I don't know anyone who has the slightest understanding of Bitcoin who makes any payments with their main wallet!

For this very reason, I don't think that the main use case for Bitcoin is to replace physical money, but I do see it as a substitute for a savings bank account, protected from all anti-sovereignty measures and devaluation of the currency through new issues of the same.

In the case of a digital substitute for physical money, I think it's much more viable to use the most private too in the digital world, which in my opinion is Monero.

When person A makes a transaction to person B, only A and B know how much has been transacted between them, and with the information they both generate in the transaction, neither person A nor person B knows any information other than what is strictly necessary to carry it out!

In this way, I consider Monero to be an approximation of what physical money is in digital terms!

In conclusion, nothing external changes what's inside, and tools are just tools, it's what we do with them that can trigger change!
