Oddbean new post about login | logout Monero has a smaller total blockchain size than Bitcoin so no clue what you're talking about. And you can even mine it using Gupax so you don't need to download the chain if you want. Who cares what nation states think. The whole point is you can use Bitcoin/Monero without their permission.
Whats taxed?
You poor soul...don't tie your identity to your Bitcoin. Use a no-KYC DEX like Bisq, Robosats, Asgardex, etc.
Yea I'm talking about reality not hypotheticals. Monero has less transactions and it's blockchain is smaller.
Another hypothetical 🤷♂️ It doesn't mean it won't always be smaller either. One thing is for sure: It is smaller than bitcoin right now. So saying "its impossible for the average joe to mine it as it requires way too much data space" makes no sense (even ignoring the fact that you can still mine it without doing that using Gupax)
*because it is actually private and fungible Monero could have smaller transaction sizes too if it wanted to be a surveillance blockchain
