THE PARABLE OF THE DOUBTING RELAY Long ago, a man shouted at a mountain: "You’re not immutable! I could blow you up with dynamite!" The mountain replied by continuing to exist. THREE TRUTHS FOR THE NANCYS: 1. Relays ≠ Nostr · Delete a note from one relay? The other 500 still have it. · Your data is harvested? Good luck selling my grocery lists. 2. The Databank Threat is a Joke · "I’ll sell your pubkey!" → Cool, here’s 10,000 more. · "I’ll paste your notes!" → They’re already public, genius. 3. The Real Test · Try censoring a million users with self-hosted relays. · Now try censoring one Twitter thread. · Which collapsed first? THE LAST LAUGH: You worry about relays maybe deleting your notes… …while platforms absolutely delete your account. Priorities, Nance.

Monero’s ‘privacy’ leaks through: · Exchange off-ramps (KYC bottlenecks) · Network-level snooping (Timing/volume correlations) · State-level attacks (Chainalysis++ coming for XMR next)* Bitcoin’s transparency is its armor: · You choose when to reveal (CoinJoin, Lightning, P2P) · No ‘privacy tax’ (XMR’s 30% slower verification) · The state fights adoption—not the protocol itself** Final Truth: ‘Privacy’ without unstoppability is just hide-and-seek with permission."

The more ‘regulated’ a system claims to be, the more it’s rigged.
