Oddbean new post about login | logout I don't think so tbh. If you need a way for privacy payments Monero helps a lot and that on a stress free way. And Icknow many BTC maxis which uses Moneronmvbut they would never admit it in thecpublic for reasons. With the fall of the last privacy fighters for Bitcoin Monero has won a lot if attraction. We see that also in many online shops. Monero goes up & up as payment method. To be against Monero means that you are against privacy. To be against Monero also means that you are against currency freedom.
This argument might work against many people except devs who work on joinmarket implementations, sorry sir You can't call yourself a freedom fighter then be forced to follow every Monero hard fork, that's what the sheep do If you want to learn more about how to make me private txns with lightning and ecash I will help you
Joinmarket brings nearly none privacy. If you know Joinmarket Sudoku you would route around it . the only working coinjoin solution was Whirlpool. I do not force someone into something. I'm just against currency dicatorship. Ppl should have the choice what they are use as payment method. And again, I'm not a Monero maxi and I'm not a Bitcoin maxi. My company holds every money in BTC and Monero and 0 fiat.
This is what I think is the "freedom" you're talking about. Choosing the way you make payments or how you use your properties. Monero is a tools, just like Bitcoin, and both have negative points.
I thought freedom was that you could run any software you want and develop any software you want. not that development completely ceases. I guess freedom is just one chain without any development, but you're free to run any software on top of it. I see. THATS what freedom is.
Do you 100% agree with every single decision Bitcoin Core as made? No. Unless you're a blind sheep yourself. There are decisions they've made in the code you don't understand technically or don't know about at all, yet you still run their software. Nothing "forces" you to follow a fork the same way nothing "forces" you to use Bitcoin. It's an open permissionless system. You can swap, fork, or leave crypto completely the moment you disagree and can't be stopped by anyone. Ability to exit is what is important.
Lightning privacy is much, and to use it is much. Ecash is custodial which means it is an absolute NoGO for me and my company. The usage of LN in general is super super low and that since the existence of LN. You can check the numbers from many online shops. Privacy seeking ppl use Monero. I see that with the Mynymbox customers.
