I'm sorry #Monero, but the markets have decided. In monetary terms #Bitcoin will take it all, that is pretty much a given by now.

We're in a fight for freedom and even sanity where Monero still is extremely important, so I'll certainly still support the project!

Development and adoption, however, belongs to Lightning... The services available now are impressive, and in practical terms privacy has become easy.

What I totally WILL watch closely in the years to come is any signs of exchanging between Bitcoin and Monero getting close to impossible, but what I think is that Lightning will be a driver for this too: we'll be in an open rebellion where someone will always set up a gateway between the two!

So today I'll keep exchanging what I have left before the next surge of Bitcoin, especially since I just tried this excellent service with Lightning:

Will I keep some? Probably, maybe worth 100-200 bucks for domains, and emergencies... Will I buy in again later? Maybe, all depending on how markets develop!

And that is the thing: although Monero took over the free markets online I think that from now on Lightning will take marketshares back.
