I like Frank's thesis of a privacy coin renaissance. I don't think #zcash will thrive on it compared to #monero, it's easier to get better at UX than to mutate from a Electric Coin security into a decentralized digital commodity. If we look at history I don't think it's only because it was first than BTC keeps being bigger in stores value than ETH.

I agree. But if stablecoins on surveilled chains are on one side of the trade, they'll be traded below "clean" coins price. That's what I meant when I said it'd be worse. But I have my hopes up, we'll find a way.

Didn't say it was going to impossible, just harder.

I agree. But it'll also make on and off ramps way scarce and dangerous for the common folk.

Fdroid version, used to have nifty installed and set up but I don't remember it working at all. Ended up uninstalling.

I stumbled upon a surprisingly fresh take on privacy by James Hoffman (the British coffee guy) on this interview: https://youtu.be/72yeeuFjtSk&t=775 They way I understood it, keeping some of your endeavors to yourself kinda ensures that the reason you're doing them is truly yours, and not another seek for external validation. I've tried it myself and I consider it a very effective hack.

Yes please. I don't know why but notifications have never worked for me.

Here's mit doing exactly that in german: https://alexanarcho.live/podcast/146 I managed to verstehen they're talking about meine vorstellung at min 30' but I need zwei more jahre auf klassen für verstehen if they liked it or nein.

Exactly. For those who want proof of that process look no further than the past decades of USD bottom-up adoption in Argentina and what it meant for the ARS.

Heads up Xenumonero's 's recap of the last day of #MoneroKon is out: https://youtu.be/n2B6KT1fbBA?si=0rOc3dX6gQ3mgc0P I encourage people that speak other languages to do the same, it'd make the topics way more accessible to the rest of the world, increasing the chances of someone finding #monero. Ideally one video per topic, so for example someone searching for 3D printed guns will find your greek-spoken recap of Joseph The Parrot's kon talk and be one step away from #monero itself. Once the talks are out I'll do the same myself in Español probably at , so I do what I preach. Don't be shy. You can make it audio only. You can even make it text-only or voiced by an AI. But do it. Nowadays there are less and less excuses.
