Why not just donate to a food pantry, get tax write off etc?
Or possibly just run a promotion? Make them cheaper. Add a limited time ultra hot wing?
So, what problem does bitcoin solve today?
Terrible for crime, terrible for MoE. Seems unproven as a SoV as it has no long term security model and it's totally possible it loses 50% of its value (it could also double).
I can only conclude it's just a speculative investment,

Don't think of clouds as a group of water droplets.
Think of them as an area of cold air where water droplets can persist.
If the water droplets moves outside of this region it evaporates.
If humid air enters this region, it condenses.
Love to see Roger Vers popularity and ideas becoming more mainstream again.
I think Bitcoin maxis are legit like the left. They basically destroy their own movement as they eat one another and NPC repeat every trendy idea, etc
They can't even begin to say why Bitcoin is
I love how bullish monero enthusiasts are, many think XMR is for sure a top 3 crypto and that view seems unwavering regardless of current market behavior.
Everyone should have a goal to hold at least the suicide stack level of Monero: 18.7 XMR
Current cost: $7500ish or 1/1,000,000 of XMR supply before tail emission.
Imagine seeing XMR now and having it go to 20K, 60K, or more
What other DEXes for Monero exist or are in the works?
I know of:
1. Farcaster
2. Haveno
3. Thorchain
4. Comit
5. SeraiDex
6. BasicSwap Dex
7. Samouri Wallet
8.
9. Bisq
Are all these still active and working with Monero?
Make no mistake - the battle has just begun.
Don't be surprised if using Monero is illegal in the near future.
Stealth money requires stealth networks, that's why ANONERO has mandatory proxy connections.
No configs or optional settings.
Enforced privacy, just like $XMR
If Monero were delisted from all of the CEXs, you think it would be less responsive to the ups and downs of crypto markets. This might cause price stability, and most of its "volume" would be by idealists, DNMs, etc
Which, would make it more of a commodity than other cryptos,
Say what you will about Monero people, but God damn at least they can take disappointing price performance like a champ.
LTC people are losing it lmao
Denial, Bargaining, lies and promises.
Lmao
Intention: build a cypherpunk cryptocurrency to free ourselves from the barbed wire fences of statism.
How it's going: everyone trading highly traceable KYC "crypto" to generate capital gains tax for the state.
Failing so bad that inaction would have been better.
I'm not sure I can really give good advice in this realm because it's totally insane, pixels are selling for millions, a dog coin exceeded the marketcap of spotify, etc..
but this is my strategy:
1. Monero
@BTC_for_Freedom
How it will play out:
1.
#bitcoin
Spot ETF get approved
2. BTC has some price increase but ultimately not that significant.
3. BlackRock lobbies gov to regulate BTC to decrease self custody and exchanges from competing with their product. They do this because "terrorism" or
Monero has seen further but only because it stands on the shoulders of giants from nearly half a century ago:
1. Ring Signatures (2001)
2. Zero knowledge (1985)
3. Proof of Work (1993)
4. Hashcash (1997)
5. Blockchain (1991)
6. E-gold (1996)
7. b-money (1998)
8. Digi-cash (1983)
@21milinfinity
Why are you focusing on Monero so much? It's so much smaller than Bitcoin. Obviously that's nothing to even be worried about, right? RIGHT?
Totally expect $1350 for Monero within the next few months.
We see the same patterns into crypto all the time, and this looks just like the $88 to $540 peak, so 6x is pretty reasonable if not conservative.
I believe in Monero because I believe many others have my same deep relentless rage against the system and will come to the same conclusion that Monero is the best potential answer against said system.
Idea: Raise Monero to donate to Freedom of the Press Foundation if Snowden comes on a
@MoneroTalk
episode to discuss what he believes are the short comings of Monero against ZCash: perhaps in the name of Skepticism Sunday, & have someone like Sarang Noether present as well.
Nothing makes me question my beliefs about monero more than a confident litecoiner.
If someone can be that confident & that dumb, maybe I'm in the same boat.
But... I'm pretty sure fungibility on the base layer is a requirement for adoption as a cryptocurrency.
@DouglasTuman
Also the exit scam is a great way to fund the CIA or something.
But that's all crazy. I don't think they'd use drug markets to fund the CIA.
@DouglasTuman
Bitcoin is a Twitter conversation: anyone can read it.
Monero is a signal message: only the recipients can read it.
This analogy falls short because Twitter isn't forever public like bitcoin & not even the recipients know the sender for monero but they do with Signal.
Having Monero available to the global population is like tossing guns into a field of sheep. It'd free them from their masters but they're too stupid to comprehend what it is and they've no idea how to use it.
CoinMarketCap but for number of nodes reachable within 24 hours.
Does such a thing exist? Would look radically different, maybe even with XMR at the top, followed by bitcoin.
XMR: 11547
BTC: 10491
Any crypto with more? What's in 3rd place?

Bullshit. The natural state of humans was hunter gathers and they had plenty of food.
Poverty only began to exist from the formation of the state.
Rarely if ever did a nomad or similar starve. See today of Amazonian tribes.
Had $640 in BTC from 11 payments.
Sent to a new address, transaction fee was $110
Got ~2.6 Monero in return.
Can do 40,000+ monero transactions for the same price but it would conceal sender, reciever, amounts & if/when I did those transactions.
In “Cypherpunk's Manifesto,” privacy activist Eric Hughes (1993) wrote: “We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence.”
By contrast...
@foundmyfitness
All the comments make a funny joke but fail to realize how immense the SARS reserve now is and how many new variants can evolve in the coming decades and beyond from animal to human transmission.
@Snowden
Would love to know more of your thoughts on "Monero as a shell game" I assume it's referring to Ring Signatures but w/ Stealth addresses & RingCT, even if you know the real sender, you still don't know address, amounts or history, except in very rare instances: knacc attack.
@CryptoOverCash
Fungible, anonymous, private, decentralized, scarce, displaced BTC on DNM, has some clearness adoption, has similar growth to BTC in first 7 years. Similar S2F.
Could easily go to $30,000+ in the next few years or so
Before talking to Bitcoin Mumble people, I couldn't see thinking my way out of Monero maximalism, thanks to their help I can see how I *might* switch back to Bitcoin Maximalism. I still support fungiblity on the base layer, preferring perfectly hiding over perfect binding.
If you believe in Bitcoin or Monero simply depends on how hostile you think governments will be to cryptocurrencies & their users.
Bitcoin is a bet that gov will be pretty accepting of it and not attempt to control every user.
Monero is the opposite bet.
How many times have you heard something like:
"I would only use
#Monero
in a life or death situation. It's a shitcoin."
🅰️It has a definite use and is of value to human life
and
🅱️It's useless shit that no one needs
🛑These statements are contradictory🛑
@BryceWeiner
Dressing in suit and brief case is signaling submission to those above you. People in control of their own lives do not dress in this submissive fashion, but rather they dress practical: a backpack has higher utility.
Bruh if there were tainted bitcoins they'd go for different prices.
*blatantly ignores that BTC to XMR goes for 0.01 on Bisq where you're more likely to find tainted coins & 0.0083 on Kraken where they are clean.
A 17% difference.
All squares are rectangles
But not all rectangles are squares
All fungible cryptocurrencies have privacy implementations
But not all cryptocurrencies with privacy implentations are fungible.
