Regulatory capture seems obviously more likely than magically becoming freedom money untouched by state control. Not enough people are talking about it. like, at all. The monero community wants something that is designed to function in intensely adversarial environments. That's why monero is a popular answer to this problem.

what's wrong with tail emission, dynamic block size and protocol upgrades?

"they were mean online so we don't care about the obvious government overreach and threat to Bitcoin self-custody." 😔

"but the ruling doesn't set case law precedent!" it doesn't fucking matter. they will do whatever the fuck they think they can get away with. and as eloquently put earlier, the "Bitcoin community" has CLEARLY telegraphed to the authorities that nobody is going to stick their neck out for making #Bitcoin fuck-you money. All the big capital is in compliance and NGU and they dgaf. It's actually *counter* to their interests to see projects like Samourai be successful. And people wonder why we #monero ?! "just buy Bitcoin bro, all money returns to one. Saife said so." Stfu, it's because "monero is a lot closer to our hearts than whatever Bitcoin is turning into." First principles or GTFO. #freesamourai

how is it "routed through tor?"

there has to be something shitty about it to be a shitcoin

love the pragmatism and lack of dogmatic thinking here 👍

why should anyone attempt to use their money to produce something, when they can simply hold it but still gain increased purchasing power from *someone else* producing something? your stockholders might actually file a lawsuit if your attempt doesn't beat the rate of deflation.

does what "job"?
