I watched this on my flight home from Nashville and it really hit home after talking a lot about privacy on Bitcoin, Government censorship and overreach and the Samurai news.

Interesting related conversation about cancer treatment blind spots. It would not shock me if some of this turned out to be valid... Problem is you have to do the science and collect the data to find out and that is something that has been being blocked and/or slowed to almost a standstill by the government.

Yes that would be centralized, but it would still be open source. And you could still bring your keys with you when you go outside the group (even if your profile stays in the walled garden group). Church groups can totally be centralized... Who would push back on that?

2025-03-17 18:10:23

- reply

I always thought that private groups could just have their own little walled garden that doesn't interact at all with the rest of nostr. A single relay or a small group of relay dedicated to only that group.
Are you thinking that is too big of a lift to start up? Or is this problem just way more complex and technical than I can appreciate?
I know you have been working on this for a long time and are 10000 layers deeper than I'll ever be, but are there tradeoffs that seem too big but maybe aren't as bad as you think?

I don't totally disagree, but I think they are a cool learning device given that basically no one can be a competitive Bitcoin miner without access to cheap electricity, top of the line ASICs and the ability to maintain them for at least 4 years.
They are approximately the price of a hardware wallet, are easy to setup and gives individuals some better hands on knowledge about what it actually means to be a sovereign Bitcoin miner.

There are a lot of people who are benefiting from Bitcoin who i disagree with. Ordinals are not good for Bitcoin either IMHO.
And, if Bitcoin was ever going to fill it's role as money for the world, blackrock was going to have to join the network at some point. We must remain vigilant in our cypherpunk ethos in the face of government and central bank adoption.
Number go up helps Bitcoin to continue to grow. But I agree it is ashame that we couldn't get more people on board before the big money... I've been running a Bitcoin meetup for over 2 years trying to onboard plebs and mint new sovereign individuals, but most people legit do not care.

I am still formulating my opinion on the scarcity of Monero. I agree with your assessment of the tail emissions.
My issue with the supply, and potential future of Monero as money on the global stage is that it is no where near decentralized enough to withstand the types of attacks that Bitcoin has survived. Bitcoin has been under attack essentially constantly for almost 10 years and no one can change it. I am skeptical that Monero could survive in its current form with that kind of pressure.
It's hard forks have had consensus, but again it hasn't had to survive a malicious or contentious hard or soft fork attempt.

Honest question, I'm doing a mini deep dive on Monero vs Bitcoin so I'm genuinely curious.
What about Monero makes you think it is a good store of value over the long term? Also what market places are you using to "buy things you want" in Monero?
