Oddbean new post about login | logout Agree with everything you said. 🍻 -What I disagree with, is your consistent encouragement of people to waste their time, energy & money on some pipe dream. You said in another post that its greed that motivates bitcoiners. Greed is what motivates shitcoins too. The difference is, that people that fall for your stupid bullshit lose money, stay behind and become bitter because of it. If you want to buy #Monero, fine. —but if you spout on about it, I’ll be here to call you out. Nope, wont shut up. Dont shitcoin. 💩<-Its bad for you. 🍻🧡👊🏻 nostr:note1qrl7wdu8ajrss5063676m6xtppma5mttdglhre5shyyphs8ywzqqkqpl34
And we'll be here to call you out too. Calling the most widely used, most trusted and most beloved anonymous&private L1 a shitcoin is obtuse and very ignorant.
You're not wrong in the context of fiat gains. Your framing makes it obvious your mindset, "make money" vs "lose money", but some of us, while we want our holdings to beat out inflation and benefit from the temporal arbitrage of being an early adopter, actually want to adopt a new form of money that gives us more freedom. That is the priority for us. It used to be a priority for bitcoiners too, nowadays your mindset is more common. So, of your criteria is "makes me fiat by sitting on it", Monero is a shitcoin. But if your criteria is "peer to peer digital cash", which is our criteria, bitcoin is failing in this regard and Monero is not.
