 Gm,

Monero down again today

 I thought it was decentralized? 
 Price 🤠 
 I too was confused. Thanks for clarifying. 
 That was the better interpretation i thought it solana’d or something. 
 Gm Unspent 
Love it🤣🤣🤣 
 limit (monero/bitcoin) -> 0 
 Bitcoin privacy already = 0 
 Oh no!  The first decentalized coin, with the highest market cap that is being adopted by insitutions and nation states is demonitizing the privacy one!  Who would have guessed? Haha 
 Gm, what's new... Buddy tried to get me onto monero and the btc monero chart shut that down right quick  
 So I assume you don't use Bitcoin based on the bitcoin / doggie coin chart? 
 Saddens me as a privacy advocate.

I've seen theories it has an inflation bug but I think the simpler explanation is that people don't value privacy. 
 No KYC, coinjoins, Lightning and ecash, the explanation is Bitcoin is better IMO!!🤠 
  um sweaty you're not fooling anyone

 Oh no, a small amount of money I'm about to spend is custodial, it's the end of the world  
 privacy isn't just for hiding a bag of potato chips 
 You can use the exact same argument for using Monero as a spending tool if you're scared about it's price 
 I just use lightning, I prefer to not leave any traces on any chains and have to worry about swaps 🐸 
 I think even simpler explanation is that it's not on exchanges and so people don't crazy ape into it.

Also if you are using it only as a privacy proxy on top of your bitcoin, then you generally don't need to care about the price. 
 Does this happen often? 
 Yes 🤣🤣🤣

 I’m just amazed by the stoic response 
 He’s a professional. Years of practice maybe 
 Takes a big breath in and continues to enjoy his meal 
 I’m trying to get on that level man lol 
 Same man 🤣 
 By the way your replies are not tagging @bold I’m assuming you are using primal 
 Yes. Didn’t that bug happen with Damus as well? I remember you noticing this before but I started using Primal not long ago 
 I’m using @damus 
 No it’s only an issue on primal. Idk if it’s even a bug at this point they refuse to fix it. 
 Am I gonna be alright? https://i.nostr.build/D2l0vfTUr3ZcquLS.jpg  
 Yes @SatsMcd is bringing you back to life https://video.nostr.build/d706a69f91ec331297ad9268d4a066cb02d632e4909be48a255f6dadeee65112.mp4  
 Interesting no notifications for this 
 You’re starting to notice lol primal is unreliable 
 Yeah none of them are perfect yet 
 You’re right. Found the old conversation. You were talking about missing notifications and reactions

 Yeah @primal needs to fix this. Been waiting for a long time. It’s the only reason I still use damus. 
 I created this note in Primal btw. First screenshot is Primal, second one is Damus

 Cc @Marko a bug in Primal 
 Yeah I’ve seen that on primal 
 GM 🌞☕ 
 Does it really matter? Monero use case is for privacy not NGU is anyone “hodling” Monero? 
 👋  
 Yes. I wouldn't recommend to hold onto it for people who depend on getting rich quick.

But for wealthy people wanting to protect their wealth it is a must have.

Taxes and fractional reserve will also put a heavy weight on future BTC price appreciation. Arguable more weight than any undetected inflation bug will ever cause. 
 Remember this in 10 years

1 BTC = 600 XMR
