 You want a Monero parallel economy now. But all you get from Bitcoiners is shitting on it.

I tell you one thing. Bitcoiners aversion against Monero will hurt them more than the people seeing the value in Monero today. But it will hurt all of us as now is the time to get dark.

All data that gets produced today and tomorrow ... will get used against all of us.

Now how would transparent and taxable at will Bitcoin where the majority of coins belong to government differentiate itself from a CBDC. Correct it won't. They would use the BTC now in their possession to starve and seize miners getting rid of 21M limit next.

Bitcoiners got lazy. They are not thinking anymore in adversarial ways. It's a problem. 
 Fuk boys your scaring benny! Feels like what you're all saying is that with BTC no matter what the gov will get theirs one way or the other .... 
 Just try not to buy KYC 
 Further to that probably via cash aswell? So far all my nonkyc is etransfers, probably easily discernable. Not really kyc free 😔 
 If they decide they want it they will get it. Question with self custody is how long you think you can hold out and if the pain is worth the hold. Flip side if it’s mass adoption then govt also has a problem, how hard can they push when the populous wants to keep their bitcoin. The real battle is in education and mass adoption (self custody) before the ETF’s take over
