Oddbean new post about login | logout Oh yeah I forgot to call it a shitcoin. Thanks for reminding me. Monero is a shitcoin. A shitcoin is anything that is not Bitcoin. Monero is not Bitcoin. It is a plaything for privacy weebs to larp about how mysterious and secretive they are.
You didn't forget to call it a shitcoin, retard. I am sorry you think Satoshi Nakamoto's invention is barely a better form of money than feces.
Things are shitty for reasons dismissing something simply because "its not bitcoin" is anti intellectual. Bitcoin got to where it is today because of critical thinking and preparing for adversarial scenarios. it is not perfect and it makes tradeoffs. you actively work against that ethos with your moronic maxi attitude.
if bitcoin had scalable self-custody and monero-level privacy I would love that. but it doesn't have those things. it is failing to scale without custodians and it cannot offer a level of privacy similar to monero without exposing users to rug pull risk. I want it to overcome these problems but I don't think it will ever happen.
