Oddbean new post about login | logout I haven't used Monero, but it seems to me to be the only other coin that has a use case.
I could argue that but at the same time "use case" depends on the needs of the individual. So yes if you have use for Monero it's a valid currency.
Absolutely. I have my doubts that I'll use it myself but I think the privacy aspect of it is worth something to many in this sphere of the world. I'm still #Bitcoinonly.
I could not get a monero node to sync that's as far as I got with it
oh? Was that recently?
In the past year yeah. Is it also monero culture to run your own node?
Very much, but it's also not as crucial for new users as it is with Bitcoin. Still strong privacy guarantees even if you don't. https://localmonero.co/knowledge/remote-nodes-privacy
Yes it is. Mine keeps in sync. Maybe try again if you have use for it.
What are other's thoughts on this? #asknostr nostr:nevent1qqsdlzjr9erxqyxk7spu5czlwmegz8e4w7vupzlv3d22c434mnha6xcprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hsygrwwhmewguhegeftc85eg8mcm4ee3umapd6lh2kh5mcygx23mh8fcpsgqqqqqqsznnmml
There is a need for Monero, and it’s not a shitcoin, but I would never encourage anyone to HODL it… Instead, move in and out of Monero as necessary when you need the security of bitcoin, but more anonymity.
Agreeed. The HODL should be orange coin. Buying monero if you have use for it is no differnet to any other foreign exchange.
This is the most sane response to this I've seen on here for Monero.
cheers 🥂
