 Monero makes another all time low against Bitcoin https://i.nostr.build/pXeo0tdpx3FGRs4H.jpg 
 Privacy comes after price discovery🤣 
 Price discovery is something that is always ongoing. It's not a point in time that you reach. There is no "after" 
 Monero users are really into it for the tech 
 Being honest, I don't think nobody uses it as store of value, never was the goal tho 
 Those who do are called poor 
 I wish it kept up only so that I’d get more bitcoin from my NiceHash CPU mining 
 🥰  
 Everything is going to zero against Bitcoin. 
 Monero is the ultimate stable coin  
 its by design, the most private money is not having money to buy anything at all 
 Ya well XMR Argument is we never bent the knee to wall street bankers 
 Cope. Wall st bent the knee to bitcoin  
 "Wall St bent the knee to bitcoin"..... If that was true the signs would be a little bit different, listen I love bitcoin 

But I think "wall street" is doing like the  classic Exchange coin base robinhood like how they list any shitcoin  thing where they are like hey we can list a new product?  Tons of ppl will buy?  We will make millions in fees? Thats like the ETF thing right.... Kinda 

Then you got a saylor thing which is like he's creating endless hype  which is great he's created an excuses to access unlimited credit at basically 0% good for him and he has the endless spinning fly wheel in the palm of his hand....


But if "wall street had bent the knee to bitcoin" I think that would mean like J.p Morgan and Chase creating a fedimint or like Tesla running a lightning node or if meta started mining bitcoin.... Idk maybe I'm wrong. I'm hopping that BLOCK comes out with a great chip retail can purchase nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgsprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqc267ea 
 Muh privacy! 
 Me, making lightning transactions with no chain trail

Pew Pew Pew  
 Wallet of Satoshi can see everything you do 

How is that "no chain trial"? 🤔

And if it's so simple and hassle-free to use lightning why do you have Wallet of Satoshi as your zap address. 
If you, a Bitcoin maxi, can't be bothered to use lightning privately and sovereignly what makes you think the average user will use lightning that way? 
 I only use wos for nostr zaps, which are already public by design. Average user should just use ecash for their spending which is way more private than monero  
 Monero hide the sender, the amount and the receiver by default.

What can be "way more private" ?

Are you lying ? 
 Yes, zaps themselves are public, but you're introducing a third party to see what you do with it afterwards when you dont have to.

You must not know how ecash works then. Anonymity sets are fractured up between different mints. And denominated tokens within each mint splits it further. That will never be as private as a single unified anonymity set.
