Need a break from Nostr with both Bitcoin maxis and hardcore Monero-loving Bitcoin haters going completely full retard.
Realized how dumb it is to try to get info from random people I don’t follow nor know. Monero lovers have their agenda, Bitcoiners have their agenda, it’s bullshit political sides all over again — and of course, it seems like most people are not a realist at all.

Very good point. But like I keep saying, I’m a realist stuck in this terrible USD system, I’m constantly stacking either way 🫡

Interesting take. I will try to broaden my thinking and be on the lookout from all angles. At the moment, personally, I am still hopeful for a better future

I am fully aware of central bank and government corruption but with the US taking (what seems to me) to be a strong pro-Bitcoin stance with strong possibilities of pro-Bitcoin legislation in place, that last paragraph just doesn’t seem likely nor realistic to me. I don’t think it will be criminalized in the US at the rate things are going and we might even see pro self-custody laws.
I could obviously be wrong, and I have criticisms of Trump (most of which differ from liberals’ complaints) but if a Bitcoin strategic reserve is actually implemented plus all the pro-bitcoin members of Congress now, things could change in our favor. And trust me when I say, as someone who cannot stand the government and knows many of the rabbit holes of corruption, I am still saying that. If Kamala got elected, I’d be fully agreeing with your stance

2024-11-13 00:11:00

If #Bitcoin becomes the backbone of the global financial system, how is that NOT a win? I understand the privacy and custodial concerns and I agree with him, but I’m also a realist. If we can use Bitcoin and have lightning for day-to-day transactions, anything, and I repeat, ANYTHING is better than this dog shit USD system.
I’m very libertarian, of course I love privacy, but be realistic. I think Monero is great, just like Bitcoin. But if Bitcoin becomes mainstream, saying it’s pointless is a little ridiculous. Do people not realize how much better things would be on a Bitcoin standard, even with custodial lightning wallets? Self-custody would still exist. Custodial stuff would be for normies. But again, be realistic. A minarchist or ancap paradise is never going to happen.

Cashu protocol is intriguing though btw, I want to learn more about it. I am a very curious person. I have a lot to learn about Monero as well still.
One thing I think is true is that society settles on one money naturally. If that is Bitcoin (which seems to be the case for “crypto”) then for practical reasons, shouldn’t Cashu be embraced?

It’s the same way I view the shit with Trump. People see the issue(s) but they put Trump on the pedestal and thinks he solves everything. They’re doing the same shit with Bitcoin. Both of which, I am very very skeptical they are the solution.

“Look at me I’m gonna ignore a genuine conversation about something important and post a yawning emoji to show the world how retarded I am” #note15qs…fuav

2024-10-29 19:24:51

Maxis have to ask themselves what problems was #Bitcoin supposed to solve and is it solving them -
These two things need to be looked at honestly without any bias. I still cannot see any way around it. I have no problem admitting I’m happy when the price goes up because we LIVE in the fiat system. If it isn’t money and just viewed as an asset and isn’t solving privacy nor truly decentralized money, of course I will willingly benefit because everything in my life is still in USD. I’d be dumb to not take advantage of this.
But are we gonna solve privacy with Bitcoin? Will there be more regulation? KYC, custodial wallets, billionaires, institutions, pension funds, all of this bullshit has to be considered. If Bitcoin becomes the money replacement that we use in the same system with the same policies, with the same oppression every-day-citizens deal with now, what’s the difference? Seriously, what is the difference? At that point it’s just the same everything except it’s Bitcoin and not the USD. Yes, the supply is fixed, but do you think force won’t be used against you if you don’t follow the rules?
Maybe what I am saying is totally naive, but I’m not afraid to ask the question and raise some concerns. This is why #Monero makes sense fundamentally, but I don’t think it’ll become mainstream money for everyone, probably ever. And I do agree generally that society settles on one money, and as the world goes more and more digital, that likely will be Bitcoin. But again, what is actually being solved with all of this?

Again, I am VERY much a layman on the topic, but it seems to me that people that care about what #Monero is worth in USD might actually be retarded or they are purposely missing the point.
I have only seen Monero advocates on here state that the best thing to do is SPEND in Monero, and SAVE in #Bitcoin. I am researching more and learning more slowly each day and this concept fascinates me.
Stacking any crypto for “number go up” is inherently the incorrect way to think about it. Buying Bitcoin just for that purpose means you are still thinking only in USD with a Fiat mindset; which defeats the purpose of the creation of crypto in the first place.
If you hold to the position that Fiat is inherently worthless and constantly getting debased (which it is), it doesn’t make sense to me to care about Bitcoin’s price in USD (or any other crypto) UNLESS you specifically bought some just to cash out for Fiat in the future.
Monero seems to have everything needed for a private checking, and Bitcoin has everything needed for a (very) high-yield savings.

I’m 100% a layman on this topic, but this makes sense to me. Probably why I’ve seen people say 1BTC = 1BTC and same could be said 1XMR = 1XMR if it’s just viewed as money.
For the other side of the argument, it’s very difficult for me to wrap my head around how someone could say something is more valuable just because the fiat (USD) price of it is more. The entire point is that the fiat system is literally shit. Plus even though the price of Bitcoin could be going up in USD, while that’s happening the dollar is getting weakened.

I greatly appreciate this comment. I also agree with much of what you said.
The contrasting views are always barking from various sides which is a problem for me. “Eternally secure in God’s hands” IS the very promise that many Lordship Salvation teachers and Calvinists claim they believe but they’ll say you need certain works and avoid certain sins to prove that that promise applies to you. That’s where the subtlety is where people get confused and lost. It is what happened to me until I found out about Free Grace Theology and what exegetical interpretation really means. These things unlocked so many passages that I could clearly see were being used and abused by teachers with their own personal bias.
Again thank you for your comment. Pray for me please.

#Nostr is so amazing because since I am looking to grow my account and have people stay long-term to form an online community — it is liberating because if I say things that people do not like and they unfollow because of it, that means I naturally attract the types of people that I would want to be interacting with anyway.
I intend to speak freely, truthfully, and openly with conviction. I have no interest in debating any topics but having an outlet for microblogging. On that note — let’s continue to #grownostr
