I was involved with
#Bitcoin
early on, but it has sold out to the system that we were trying to fight and protect ourselves from.
Have no worries,
#Monero
is here.
Today, Kraken UK delisted
#Monero
. Don’t move your crypto to a custodial service. Your crypto should be in a wallet where you control your keys. From the early days,
#Bitcoin
and other crypto was meant to be held by YOU and not by a bank or another institution. Take control.
The
#Monero
community is not worried about getting
#XMR
delisted on CEXs. With Atomic Swaps,
@HavenoDEX
, Farcaster, and the upcoming
@THORChain
integration which the
@cakewallet
team is working on, CEXs are dead!
It seems to me that the
#bitcoin
maxis came into BTC later. Whereas, the early adopters are open minded to other coins because, after all, you had to be open minded to be an early adopter of this new thing called
#bitcoin
.
You'll never hear a real
#bitcoin
OGs (like the ones I follow) badmouth
#Monero
. I'm not talking about all these "influencers" and "twitter talking heads" who shill
#bitcoin
. They don't know what
#cypherpunk
is. Monero IS cypherpunk!
I was disheartened to realize that people don't care about financial privacy and only using
#crypto
as an investment. But the fact is actual commerce is being done using
#Monero
which is all about financial privacy. If you want to transact wallet to wallet, use
#XMR
.
Its not very cypherpunk to talk of price or comparing anything to
#Bitcoin
, but it is interesting that
#XMR
has gone up around 20% against
#BTC
over the last 10 days.
#Bitcoin
has become part of the very system that it was created to fight! Will I sell my
#BTC
? Probably not. But we still need a money that's "for the people" and that money is now
#Monero
.
#Bitcoin
mining has become an industrial project. The common man has no say in mining.
The
#Monero
folks saw this as a problem long time ago and through
#RandomX
made it that anyone with a simple computer can mine and be part of the network. One CPU One Vote!
#p2pool
If you want to create anything for
#Monero
, it is totally permission-less. You don' have to get approval from anybody - no foundations, no corporations. Just start, the code is all there!
#XMR
Yes I know, its the same for
#Bitcoin
.
Is
#Bitcoin
dying? I don't think so, but I can confidentially state that
#Monero
adoption is increasing. The
#BTC
/
#XMR
chart is clearly indicative of this.
We should use whatever tech that will help
#Monero
. Put tribalism and ego aside. If some tech developed by Monero helps
#zcash
, we shouldn't bash them for using it to improve privacy. I thought privacy was our goal. I personally I'm glad
@sethforprivacy
opened this discussion.
Sorry I've been away. Sometimes you need to step away from social media. I didn't step away from
#Monero
though. For the folks that knew me from the early
#Bitcoin
days, don't worry I still like
#bitcoin
, but for transacting,
#Monero
is just better/more secure.
#Bitcoin
was created to free us from the centralized state/issuer.
#Monero
should stay decentralized and noncustodial. Thank you
@krakenfx
UK for your efforts in this goal.
We give up so much data to big tech continuously. No on needs to know your habits and history. No one needs to know your location all the time. No one needs to know how much money you have or how you spend it.
#Privacy
#cypherpunkethos
What
@cakewallet
has done with “fixed-rates” is a great way to spend your
#monero
with
#vendors
that accept
#bitcoin
without you directly touching
#BTC
. I would like to see the same feature but using
@THORChain
in Cake. Ideally of course vendors should accept
#XMR
directly.
In the twitter space
@balajis
said
#bitcoin
is the only thing that can’t be seized. But
#monero
is even more “unseizable” . You can’t seize what you can’t see.
#bitcoin
doesn’t care if a politician is against it or for it. However, centralized mining can be a target for the state.
#monero
fixes this with RandomX leading to the democratization of mining.
Greed! Greed is the reason for all this. You weren't happy with just the price going up! no! You want interest on top of that! Ever since MTGOX we warned you to keep your coins off of exchanges - the interest ain't worth the risk. We created
#BTC
so YOU can control your money!
Privacy matters because it's a fundamental human right that allows us to be ourselves without fear of judgment or oppression. Without privacy, we lose control over our own lives & our personal information becomes a commodity to be exploited by others.

#GPT4
1 of 2 The short sightedness, tribalism, and ego shown by the
#Monero
mob (albeit a small but loud minority) is actually damaging to privacy. Take
@HavenoDEX
for example. it would've been safer and more private to trade shielded
#zcash
for
#Monero
than it is ...
Privacy is a fundamental human right. Governments and corporations should not undermine it, but instead protect it through encryption and privacy laws

Things to do to get through a bear market:
1. Meditate
2. Yoga
3. Lift Weights
4. Drink lots of water
5. BTMFD (mainly
#Bitcoin
#Monero
- sorry I'm old school. We will see about
#zcash
in the upcoming months.)
This is a great step forward for Monero . I think the privacy risk is overblown. The way to use it privately is to use a new email alias for every card purchase. In this way, the provider of the cards doesn't have a history of all of your purchases tied to one email address.

4/4 Verdict:
#Zcash
has lots of bugs and is slow. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a bashing of zcash I do want to see it improve and have better wallets as I do believe it’s good privacy. I wish
@cakewallet
had the guts to integrate it. They would do it right.
@zcash_community
2 of 2 to trade
#bitcoin
or any other transparent chain to
#Monero
. In the end the, real minds behind
#Monero
will do what is right and not be ruled by silly reddit polls and mob rage.
1/4 My experience with
#Zcash
: I downloaded Zecwallet Lite and Ywallet as per
@zooko
’s guidance. I sent him a U address from Zecwallet lite. He sent me 0.001 zec on March 4th - rcvd. I then restored the wallet using the blockheight on Y wallet.
1/ Shocking New Case Filed by the SEC
The SEC has just filed a case alleging that:
Selling crypto mining equipment and offering hosting services for the equipment constitutes an "investment contract" under Howey.
Yes. You read that right.
Here's what you need to know. 👇
The gov and the establishment going after crypto is meaningless and will only affect the price in the short term. It won’t change the fact that you have money that you control and can use it without permission in a decentralized way 24/7.

@cakewallet
Well that's an old story. In the early 90s, I was involved in a mailing list called "cypherpunks". It was for discussing encryption/privacy (PGP, Deffie-Helman,etc.) Old posts are still at . One is to wonder if Satoshi Nakamoto came out of this group.
Good work
@sethforprivacy
on calling out the lies and misinformation spewed by
@hosseeb
.
@CoinDesk
should get better informed "experts" than
@hosseeb
who has no idea what he is talking about or is intentionally misleading in his writing. Go educate yourself
@hosseeb
.
1/ Apparently this has been making the rounds, but I have *a lot* of problems with the article, unfortunately.
Let's dive into some of the things said here and how I think they are either false or misleading.
In the shadows of an oppressive regime, a determined freedom fighter covertly acquired essential supplies, using Monero to maintain anonymity. The untraceable transactions fueled the resistance, empowering the fight for liberty and justice.

#wallet
We are slowly moving towards
#privacy
and
#anonymity
. Even in the
#NFT
space there should be privacy concerns. People know what expensive
#NFTs
you own. How is that for your safety?
Just learned from my insider friends in chain analysis companies that they have been labeling
#BTC
txs from Samourai Wallet and are pushing
@coinbase
etc to stop accepting txs or even canceling customer accounts.
Samourai is still good, just don't use it with kyc exchanges!
I use
@cakewallet
purely for
#Monero
but after seeing this poll I’ll have to try them out for
#LTC
too. I know many
#BTC
folks use Cake for bitcoin only so I’m not surprised about Litecoin.
2/4 This March 4th transaction just doesn’t show up on Ywallet. Then I did a churn of the whole balance to myself which doesn’t show anywhere. But now in Ywallet, that March 4th transaction from
@zooko
shows as March 7th.
If you were using
@wasabiwallet
and want a proper privacy tool on
#Bitcoin
, you can save on fees here:
@SamouraiWallet
is the *only* privacy tool on Bitcoin fit for widespread use ATM.
3/4 There is inconsistency in transaction history between the wallets. Another thing I noticed is that zcash wallets download around 300 blocks from the remote node at a time to scan, whereas
#Monero
wallets download around 900-1000 blocks, so sync in monero is much faster.
