You never had control over "your" money [evil laughter] in an exchange. If that is news to you I don't know what you do in Nostr/Bitcoin?

But Monero is a shitcoin for being delisted from CEX, am I right?

You can work locally, p2p, and get paid in cash. Creating and strengthening relationships where you live. There's no need to be exclusively digital. It's also a good opportunity to show people new ways of trading and facilitate the transition to Monero.

Bitcoiners think the Monero's community is against Bitcoin but the reality is far different. I knew Bitcoin around 10 years ago when there was no altcoins in general. Bitcoin was good, quick transactions with few fees, around 1 cents... then something change and there was moonboys chilling a highly expensive transactions fees system with 1 mb per block, bitcoin became slow, it took hours to settle a transaction. Bitcoin Cash was far more closer to the original version, Satoshi configured the 1 mb block saying it should be temporary, BCH community understand the need to adapt the block’size as adoption grew and they where right... Then I learned about many crypto, like Ethereum, Monero, Elrond, BNB, Solana, Luna, Ripple, Doge, PAXG etc etc... when I fall on Monero, suddenly something became clear, something I never asked before honestly. As Chainanalysis rise, it became obvious that a public ledger is a problem, especially linked by KYC. Not really about taxes, it’s far more deeper than that, if the state know where is your wealth and how do you use it, they can put you in jail for something "illicit", but in some country it can be death sentence. They don’t need CBDC, Bitcoin is the world’CBDC, traceable, linked to your ID, just a matter of time for controlling the network itself and be OFAC compliant, mining is heavily centralized already and it should only go that direction because of Halving... the whitepaper said 1 cpu 1 vote, Bitcoin and so many failed that way, Monero is ASIC resistant, maybe the last one to resist, we need to be clear, this is a question of death situation, not promotting my prefered shitcoin because the name or the chart sound's good... true bitcoiners are in Monero because it’s the only one remaining castle. If you value privacy, you should support Monero, not fight it, but let’s go with Lightning Network and any way possible to improve privacy on Bitcoin, Monero is not the ennemy of Bitcoin, just a better version. For information, Bitcoin is the first functional try of Cypherpunk's work to create an anonymous transaction system as written in the Manifesto:

"Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy."

I don’t hate Bitcoin, but at some point Bitcoin is a successful failure. Monero is the first functional anonymous transaction system.


Bitcoiners are living in a dream that will end badly, the boiling frog

Bitcoin vs Monero Price for Dummies!

Imagine you have two types of fruits: apples and oranges. Apples are very popular and everyone knows them, so they are sold in all markets and stores. Moreover, the government and big companies support apples and help them spread all over the country.

Oranges, on the other hand, are less known and some stores don't sell them because they are not as popular. Moreover, the government and big companies don't support oranges and, in fact, prohibit them from being sold in many places. This means that oranges have to be sold in secret, in underground markets.

Now, imagine you want to compare the price of apples and oranges. If you just look at the price, it may seem that apples are more valuable than oranges. But this doesn't take into account the context in which each fruit is sold. Apples have all the support of the financial system and big companies, while oranges are prohibited in many exchanges and don't have the same level of support.

Similarly, when you compare the price of Bitcoin and Monero, you need to consider the different conditions under which each currency is traded. Bitcoin has all the support of the financial system and big companies, while Monero is prohibited in many exchanges and doesn't have the same level of support. Moreover, Monero is more independent and not controlled by the system, while Bitcoin has already been "captured" by the system and is easier to control.

This means that the price of Bitcoin is influenced by the support of the system, while the price of Monero is influenced by the lack of support and prohibition in many places. Therefore, it's essential to consider these differences when comparing the prices of the two currencies.

In short, comparing the price of Bitcoin and Monero is not as simple as looking at the numbers. You need to understand the underlying factors that affect each currency's value, and consider the different environments in which they are traded.

Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMPs) will replace rings in the Monero protocol to significantly improve sender privacy.
FCMPs will prove the output spent is one of any output on the chain, effectively removing risks associated with rings.
This will increase the anonymity set from 16 to 100,000,000.

Never underestimate people's ability to make private stuff less private.


The advice you give is great until you tell people to use bitcoin. That is very likely to get them killed. Monero is by far the better choice here


To send transaction on

Monero:
- Open wallet
- Scan/paste receiver address
- Eneter amount
- Send

Lightning:
- Create a node
- Open at least one sending cahnnel (pay the on chain fees)
- Hope that you haven't messed any of the settings and everything goes through
- For some unknown reason get a channel with less money than the one you opened
- Open wallet
- Scan/paste receiver address
- Eneter amount
- Send

You see what I am talking about?


Bitcoin maximalists, let's get real. You think the Lightning Network is the answer to all your problems, but when it comes to financial privacy, it's just a Band-Aid on a bullet wound.

With Bitcoin, every transaction is a public declaration of your financial activity. Even with the Lightning Network, your transactions can still be linked to your identity and tracked by anyone with the right tools. It's like trying to have a private conversation in a crowded room, everyone can still hear what you're saying.

Monero, on the other hand, is like having a private conversation in a soundproof room. Its ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential transactions make it impossible for anyone to link your transactions to your identity or track your financial activity. It's true financial privacy, and it's the only way to ensure that your transactions are truly yours.

So, if you're serious about financial freedom, don't settle for the pseudo-privacy of the Lightning Network. Choose Monero and take control of your financial destiny.

Monero is not only a privacy use, their is actually less xmr than btc, until 2040. The problem with lightning is lightning itself, it’s not the Bitcoin’s network, assuming the transactions goes to LN instead of the Bitcoin’s blockchain, that mean less transactions in block, tx fees need to be high or Bitcoin’s price need to goes up with Halving, at some point the situation is unsustainable, if the price stop to rise, miners will sank, growing the mining centralisation and OFAC compliance further... the fixed supply is leading the network to a huge centralisation which absolutely not good


I come here because your blind belief in Bitcoin is putting friends and allies on the line. And you deserve to be called out for north promoting the easiest andc safest options.

Show me the self-hosted LN environment in Tails?

You can easily run Haveno and Feather on Tails. Within minutes you are ready to do whatever youvwant with your money. It might be news to you that Monero is much more stable in USD terms than BItcoin, which is a feature for those needing access to their money.

BTC is a great investment and hedge against further inflation. But your suggestions here are outright dangerous.


You want a Monero parallel economy now. But all you get from Bitcoiners is shitting on it.

I tell you one thing. Bitcoiners aversion against Monero will hurt them more than the people seeing the value in Monero today. But it will hurt all of us as now is the time to get dark.

All data that gets produced today and tomorrow ... will get used against all of us.

Now how would transparent and taxable at will Bitcoin where the majority of coins belong to government differentiate itself from a CBDC. Correct it won't. They would use the BTC now in their possession to starve and seize miners getting rid of 21M limit next.

Bitcoiners got lazy. They are not thinking anymore in adversarial ways. It's a problem.


This is the elected Bitcoin Pope, heed his words.

Bitcoin is the greater casino of all time, it’s not only useless, the Bitcoin’s marketcap is close to Silver. Nothing can justify this, Silver passed around 5000 years of utility for humanity, it was wealth from the begining and don’t care about any conflicts, politics, world war, internet or electricity shutdown, we can’t create it, it wasn’t a human creation, but on the other side there is Bitcoin, around 15 years of existence, sensitive to politics regulations, mining centralisation, internet or electric shutdown, a human creation that can be modified, didn’t pass a major conflict, it will probably don’t survive, especially when you consider one of the first thing attacked is the communication systems. What a joke, a bad joke, I warned you, Bitcoin is a tool not wealth, a tool for gambling, the worst is Bitcoin has no real utility, no privacy, KYC fucked and government compliant... maybe one day Bitcoin will go back to it’s real value which is far lesser than Silver. Bitcoin is actually a ponzi scheme, it’s sad, just Youtube "Bitcoin" and you will see it’s pretty all about price green or red... it wasn’t the original purpose I think 🙃 Monero is a tool like Bitcoin, but it’s usefull, in our dystopian society, an anonymous electronic payment system over the internet is a safe heaven, regardless of the fiat price, few understand that point, privacy is so important.

You want politics compliance to Bitcoin with the hope they will accept it, You need to face reality or you will hurt a big wall one day. Bitcoin is becoming the banking system 2.0

This is why #Bitcoin has already failed. It is a fact. I have no problem saying I am in Bitcoin for “number go up” now because I am honest with myself. Yeah, it’s a great asset, but KYC has ruined it. What it was meant to solve, it has failed.

And also the whole “buy something [Bitcoin] that no government can take away” is not a smart thing to say in my opinion. Do you REALLY believe that they don’t have the power to make you give them what they need if they want to? Seriously?

Like I said the other day, #Monero fulfills all the boxes that Bitcoin was supposed to and also like I said — it has been ruined due to KYC and rich people. nostr:note1p4s7tveglcj4thd6k5qwpdf7salyegt6a0dnuj48t2z69vtxt4mqpp8qpy

People telling you what you can or cannot do or what you should or shouldn't do are basically robbing you of learning from your own mistakes which is very important. We have to make mistakes in our early years to learn from them and grow. Your mistakes and failures will contribute to the person you'll become later in your life.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes, those are part of our journey.

Can you delete on Nostr?

Yes! Does it work 100% of the time? No! But I'll say it works 99% of the time. That last 1% is what keeps us from having a true delete.

Why do people say that you can't delete here?

Deletes are delete requests sent to relays. The vast majority of relays honor these requests. Content can still exist in local caches and caching servers though.

It's hard to fully and truly delete all traces of content, therefore we say content can't be deleted on Nostr because there is no central authority to coordinate and force these changes and requests.

I hope this makes sense.

I will delete this note in an hour to demonstrate.

Credit card fraud sounds like they traced it when he LEFT Monero

But really none of us know because it's vague and lacking in details

If it's like any of the previous "MONERO WAS TRACED!!!" articles throughout the years, it was when they off-ramped to an exchange or swapped into transparent crypto. In other words, nothing to do with Monero.

Receipts. Onus is on them to prove it since they are making the claim. Until then it's safe to assume its another clickbait article.


Wall Street is notorious for being bedfellows with federal regulators, politicians, and government in general.

It's kind of naive and simple to think BlackRock is just letting the free market do it's thing without artificial influence from government (monopoly on violence) for their advantage and to our detriment.


Surely in Europe and US there is lot of nodes, but it’s not about geographic centralisation, it’s more about power centralisation, 2 pools own around 70% of the network wich is not so good, but supposing 51% attack, they will be able to validate their own invalid transactions and reject all others transactions, they will not be able to selectively block transactions because every transactions is anonymous. But in Bitcoin, if 51% attack happens, they will be able to selectively reject transactions, like in Ethereum actually. The main difference is if Bitcoin become overtaken, many people will don’t care because they will be able to transact normally, but Bitcoin will be compromized... hope Bitcoin will go in the privacy way more in future 😉


101 on how gold was confiscated:

You had to turn it in for dollars by a deadline prior to dollar devaluation, and there were massive prison consequences for not turning it in, but little resources in terms of investigating who didn’t turn it in. That would be expensive. So it was fear based. Focusing on illegality and tail risks on edge cases more than enforcement on average.

Institutions had to comply immediately, since it’s all visible. So the government broke liquidity in the domestic gold market, which was enough for their purposes. Gold became a hard-to-trade illegal relic for those that held it.

If a small family hodled some extra bars for 40 years until it became legal again, they did okay.

But can the government track bitcoin in the 2020s better or worse than gold in 1930s for enforcement purposes? That’s the right question.

And don’t just think of confiscation. Think of 70% selective taxes and things like that. Far more within the current rule of law. That’s the sophisticated approach. Don’t take it. Selectively tax it by a lot.

Those are the politics to push against from a bitcoin perspective.


Without privacy, you have no wealth.
There will always be a bigger, better armed bully.

Therefore, lack of Bitcoin privacy jeapordizes its censorship resistance.

also
"boating accidents" on a transparent ledger are a farce. nobody is going to believe that shit.


Article was vague and lacked any details so we don't know yet. More than likely because they used an exchange to off-ramp or swapped to transparent crypto like always.

Monero's Disruptive Power

The Silent Revolution in Digital Privacy

Monero (XMR) is quietly disrupting the world of digital payments. In a society increasingly dominated by financial surveillance, Monero offers something radical—true privacy. Here's why it's poised to shake the system.

1
While Bitcoin is often praised for privacy, it's pseudonymous. Every transaction can be traced. Monero, on the other hand, is private by design—ring signatures*, stealth addresses, and confidential transactions hide every detail.

2
In a time where governments and corporations push for more financial surveillance and control, Monero's default privacy makes it the ultimate financial shield. Your wallet balance? Hidden. Who you transacted with? Hidden. Complete freedom.

3
Unlike many coins, Monero operates under a simple principle: fungibility. Every coin is identical to another. No tainted coins, no blacklist risks. This is crucial for a truly free market where value can flow without restrictions.

4
Regulatory agencies aren't happy. They can't track or control Monero. That's what makes it revolutionary. Instead of complying with centralized control, it stands for free speech, financial independence, and privacy.

5
Monero's disruption isn't just technical—it's ideological. It's a beacon for anyone who believes in personal freedom, financial autonomy, and the right to privacy. In the age of digital panopticons, this is a bold statement of resistance.

6
As CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) rise, aiming to control how and where we spend, Monero becomes more important than ever. It’s the antidote to a world where every purchase might be surveilled.

7
Privacy is not about hiding wrongdoing; it’s about protecting personal dignity and autonomy. The growing adoption of Monero shows that people are demanding financial systems that prioritize privacy, and this demand cannot be ignored.

8
Monero isn't just a cryptocurrency; it’s a financial tool for a free society. Whether you’re hedging against censorship or simply protecting your financial data, Monero’s disruptive power is undeniable.

9
Monero is building a future where financial freedom and privacy are non-negotiable. In a world where surveillance is the norm, Monero stands out as the true decentralized solution. The silent revolution is already underway.

* Ring signatures will soon be replaced by Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++), enhancing sender privacy even further.

Monero is the IRS switch off button. Use it.


Basically, I'm saying that the "then they fight you" stage will be much worse than anybody else.
Sure, I can hold my own keys and run my own node, and in theory, be totally self-sovereign. But in actual practice, that doesn't do very much unless I have a transaction peer.
If they could make it onerous to *actually use the stuff*, then we have a problem.
And they are certainly very adept in regulatory capture.

It isn't going to be just "some of the network."
They are going to map the entire UTXO set and link it to KYC identities over time.
On a long enough timeline, there is no privacy.

and if people don't think they're going to come for their share, then I think thats being very naive.

Denying a transaction in Monero is not possible, thanks to the anonymity of sender, reicever and amount. Every transactions on Monero is private not public. But in Bitcoin, Ether and others, the censorship is possible and it’s happening everytime on Ether for example where around 50% of the network is censorship compliant. The market can be wrong and it was wrong many times, technically, Monero is just better, more privacy, more censorship resistant, more ASIC resistant, transactions are far less expensive etc etc but the price is a different thing. The market is far more about psychology, if you believe Bitcoin is better is better, you will take it, even if you where wrong. The positive price evolution of Bitcoin doesn’t imply Bitcoin is going better or more adopted, in real life, Monero is taking the place, it already done in Darknet, it will probably be on the clearnet by 5-10 years from now. When it will happen, price will move because of supply shortage, I don’t care about the price btw


Nodes don’t control the network, miners did, they accept or reject the transactions. Because transactions are public, miners are like banks, like in Ethereum, they are able to deny someone's transaction, it’s not here yet but it will eventually be later if the majority of mining is OFAC compliant. Your anonymous relay will not be able to change that


Because wall street and institutions cant control Monero.
Free market?
You say free market decides the price when a coin is deplatformed from exchanges and another isnt?
I would love to see the difference between the two coins if both are banned.


That mean controlling the information

I don’t have evidence that Monero wasn’t compromized, but there is no evidence it was, it was never be in the past, every time someone was put in prison with the use of Monero, it was because of a bad opsec. In the article, they talk about analyse of Monero without details and credit cards involved, that really seems a bad opsec actually and not a break of Monero's privacy. Monero don’t need to be an expert to be anonymous, running it’s own node or using Tor is enough in the vast majority of usecase, but there is other points to check, especially if you are doing wrong things... so yes I have serious doubts about Monero being the way to track them


If your money supply is fixed
the ledger transparent
there aren't privacy tools

then the anon-set of *any* UTXO not linked to KYC identity decreases over time

as mapping of the ledger increases and ownership of UTXOs are exposed.

Your lack of interest in strong privacy makes my transactions less private.

No it isn't, mining is centralized, and yes core devs and mining pools can dictate and are dictating how people should interact with their wealth 👀

Bitcoin is NGU tech not Freedom Tech rigth now.

Monero is the ultimate freedom digital tool.


They DID NOT. The XMR was "traced" AFTER the guys get arrested. Look te discussion @ Reddit to know more and make your own conclusion:

Free speech isn't defined by the 1st Amendment as it is a global human right. The first Amendement just puts it into words for the people of the USA. If you believe in god you'd say it's a god given right same as free will.

However, once they take our speech our will is next and no amendment in the world will prevent that. So resists, disobey and defend what's yours, globally.

Nah not really a maxi on any. When I say that I’m saying it seems to be the only money that I’m fully aware of. I need to learn more definitely, but I’m seeing more merchants accept Monero and it is the best crypto for privacy. To be fair, I don’t know enough about Bitcoin cash and Litecoin. But when you think of the “crypto anarchy” goal etc. I think Monero fits it best (at least right now)

The conspiracy is not about jewish having success, happy for them but it’s about jewish controlling everything, why do you think they want absolute control? Why not about Russian, Chinese, Americans, English, Australian, African, French etc etc billionaires, Was Steve Jobs a jew? Maybe Warren Buffet is jew? Maybe Trump is jew? Maybe Putin is jew? Seeing Trump wearing a jewish hat doesn’t mean he is controlled by an imaginary evil jewish worlwide shadow corporation, what a crazy think... that’s a fact jewish people have success but you know what? They did it themselves, Sandisk is a jewish corporation and they created the USB stick, Waze was a jewish invention, Facebook was created by a jew, McDonald's was succeed because of a jew, agricultural technologies, médecine, high-tech, weapons etc they have some success because they was, they are able to innovate further. Maybe Henri Ford was a jew? Maybe Newton? Maybe bill gates the founder of Microsoft? Maybe Mickael Saylor? Maybe Changpeng Zhao the founder of Binance? They succeed because of innovation, by that they became wealthy, happy for them, jewish or not, many arabs are rich because of petroleum, happy for them, after all maybe some jews are doing bad things, like some Americans, some English, French, Russian, German...

Let’s clarify the situation, you talk about "complicity in the war on Gaza" but the reality is Israel defend itself against Hamas, a terrorist organization which killed around 1500 innocents, baby, women and olders. The war is not against arabs in Gaza but against Hamas, even the gazaoui population is starved and killed by Hamas. Stop blaming Israel for the Hamas attrocity, Hamas have what he deserve, the destruction.


We will see if Bitcoin is "perfect hard money" when mining will be done... and fees became unsustainable on L1 so using L2 which is not Bitcoin... oh sorry, it’s already happening today... but if you change the block size you change Bitcoin ant it will be BCH, what a deal 😏

They might know you sent it to a swap service address and that you swapped for Monero if they collude with SimpleSwap, but they wont be able to trace what happened after as long as you stay in Monero and spend it directly

If you want to later go Monero -> BTC (or another crypto) use Bisq, Haveno-Reto, Robosats, or BasicSwapDEX. Don't swap it all back in one shot (break into different amounts) and don't use SimpleSwap again for this.

My Monero is not to sell because my freedom is not to sell 😇


> [Read the original blog post](https://blog.kycnot.me/p/monero-history)

Bitcoin enthusiasts frequently and correctly remark how much value it adds to Bitcoin not to have a face, a leader, or a central authority behind it. This particularity means there isn't a single person to exert control over, or a single human point of failure who could become corrupt or harmful to the project.

Because of this, it is said that no other coin can be equally valuable as Bitcoin in terms of decentralization and trustworthiness. Bitcoin is unique not just for being first, but also because of how the events behind its inception developed. This implies that, from Bitcoin onwards, any coin created would have been created by someone, consequently having an authority behind it. For this and some other reasons, some people refer to Bitcoin as "[The Immaculate Conception](https://yewtu.be/watch?v=FXvQcuIb5rU)".

While other coins may have their own unique features and advantages, they may not be able to replicate Bitcoin's community-driven nature. However, one other cryptocurrency shares a similar story of mystery behind its creation: **Monero**.

## History of Monero

### Bytecoin and CryptoNote

In March 2014, a Bitcointalk thread titled "*Bytecoin. Secure, private, untraceable since 2012*" was initiated by a user under the nickname "**DStrange**"[^1^]. DStrange presented Bytecoin (BCN) as a unique cryptocurrency, in operation since July 2012. Unlike Bitcoin, it employed a new algorithm known as CryptoNote.

DStrange apparently stumbled upon the Bytecoin website by chance while mining a dying bitcoin fork, and decided to create a thread on Bitcointalk[^1^]. This sparked curiosity among some users, who wondered how could Bytecoin remain unnoticed since its alleged launch in 2012 until then[^2^] [^3^].

Some time after, a user brought up the "CryptoNote v2.0" whitepaper for the first time, underlining its innovative features[^4^]. Authored by the pseudonymous **Nicolas van Saberhagen** in October 2013, the CryptoNote v2 whitepaper[^5^] highlighted the traceability and privacy problems in Bitcoin. Saberhagen argued that these flaws could not be quickly fixed, suggesting it would be more efficient to start a new project rather than trying to patch the original[^5^], an statement simmilar to the one from Satoshi Nakamoto[^6^].

Checking with Saberhagen's digital signature, the release date of the whitepaper seemed correct, which would mean that Cryptonote (v1) was created in 2012[^7^] [^8^], although there's an important detail: *"Signing time is from the clock on the signer's computer"* [^9^].

Moreover, the whitepaper v1 contains a footnote link to a Bitcointalk post dated May 5, 2013[^10^], making it impossible for the whitepaper to have been signed and released on December 12, 2012.

As the narrative developed, users discovered that a significant **80% portion of Bytecoin had been pre-mined**[^11^] and blockchain dates seemed to be faked to make it look like it had been operating since 2012, leading to controversy surrounding the project.

The origins of CryptoNote and Bytecoin remain mysterious, leaving suspicions of a possible scam attempt, although the whitepaper had a good amount of work and thought on it.

### The fork

In April 2014, the Bitcointalk user **`thankful_for_today`**, who had also participated in the Bytecoin thread[^12^], announced plans to launch a Bytecoin fork named **Bitmonero**[^13^] [^14^].

The primary motivation behind this fork was *"Because there is a number of technical and marketing issues I wanted to do differently. And also because I like ideas and technology and I want it to succeed"*[^14^]. This time Bitmonero did things different from Bytecoin: there was no premine or instamine, and no portion of the block reward went to development.

However, thankful_for_today proposed controversial changes that the community disagreed with. **Johnny Mnemonic** relates the events surrounding Bitmonero and thankful_for_today in a Bitcointalk comment[^15^]:

> When thankful_for_today launched BitMonero [...] he ignored everything that was discussed and just did what he wanted. The block reward was considerably steeper than what everyone was expecting. He also moved forward with 1-minute block times despite everyone's concerns about the increase of orphan blocks. He also didn't address the tail emission concern that should've (in my opinion) been in the code at launch time. Basically, he messed everything up. *Then, he disappeared*.

After disappearing for a while, thankful_for_today returned to find that the community had taken over the project. Johnny Mnemonic continues:

> I, and others, started working on new forks that were closer to what everyone else was hoping for. [...] it was decided that the BitMonero project should just be taken over. There were like 9 or 10 interested parties at the time if my memory is correct. We voted on IRC to drop the "bit" from BitMonero and move forward with the project. Thankful_for_today suddenly resurfaced, and wasn't happy to learn the community had assumed control of the coin. He attempted to maintain his own fork (still calling it "BitMonero") for a while, but that quickly fell into obscurity.

The unfolding of these events show us the roots of Monero. Much like Satoshi Nakamoto, the creators behind CryptoNote/Bytecoin and thankful_for_today remain a mystery[^17^] [^18^], having disappeared without a trace. This enigma only adds to Monero's value.

Since community took over development, believing in the project's potential and its ability to be guided in a better direction, Monero was given one of Bitcoin's most important qualities: **a leaderless nature**. With no single face or entity directing its path, Monero is safe from potential corruption or harm from a "central authority".

The community continued developing Monero until today. Since then, Monero has undergone a lot of technological improvements, migrations and achievements such as [RingCT](https://www.getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/ringCT.html) and [RandomX](https://github.com/tevador/randomx). It also has developed its own [Community Crowdfundinc System](https://ccs.getmonero.org/), conferences such as [MoneroKon](https://monerokon.org/) and [Monerotopia](https://monerotopia.com/) are taking place every year, and has a very active [community](https://www.getmonero.org/community/hangouts/) around it.

> Monero continues to develop with goals of privacy and security first, ease of use and efficiency second. [^16^]

This stands as a testament to the power of a dedicated community operating without a central figure of authority. This decentralized approach aligns with the original ethos of cryptocurrency, making Monero a prime example of community-driven innovation. For this, I thank all the people involved in Monero, that lead it to where it is today.

A Cypherpunk's Manifesto

                        by Eric Hughes

Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age.
Privacy is not secrecy.  A private matter is something one doesn't
want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one
doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively
reveal oneself to the world.

If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of
their interaction.  Each party can speak about their own memory of
this; how could anyone prevent it?  One could pass laws against it,
but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to
an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all.  If many
parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the
others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other
parties.  The power of electronic communications has enabled such
group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it
to.

Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to a
transaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessary
for that transaction.  Since any information can be spoken of, we
must ensure that we reveal as little as possible.  In most cases
personal identity is not salient. When I purchase a magazine at a
store and hand cash to the clerk, there is no need to know who I am.
When I ask my electronic mail provider to send and receive messages,
my provider need not know to whom I am speaking or what I am saying
or what others are saying to me;  my provider only need know how to
get the message there and how much I owe them in fees.  When my
identity is revealed by the underlying mechanism of the transaction,
I have no privacy.  I cannot here selectively reveal myself; I must
_always_ reveal myself.

Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction
systems.  Until now, cash has been the primary such system.  An
anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system.  An
anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when
desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy.

Privacy in an open society also requires cryptography.  If I say
something, I want it heard only by those for whom I intend it.  If
the content of my speech is available to the world, I have no
privacy.  To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to
encrypt with weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for
privacy.  Furthermore, to reveal one's identity with assurance when
the default is anonymity requires the cryptographic signature.

We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless
organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence.  It is to
their advantage to speak of us, and  we should expect that they will
speak.  To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the
realities of information. Information does not just want to be free,
it longs to be free.  Information expands to fill the available
storage space.  Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin;
Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and
understands less than Rumor.

We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any.  We must
come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions
to take place.  People have been defending their own privacy for
centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret
handshakes, and couriers.  The technologies of the past did not allow
for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.

We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems.  We
are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail
forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic
money.

Cypherpunks write code.  We know that someone has to write software
to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do,
we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow
Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all
to use, worldwide.  We don't much care if you don't approve of the
software we write.  We know that software can't be destroyed and that
a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.

Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is
fundamentally a private act.  The act of encryption, in fact, removes
information from the public realm.  Even laws against cryptography
reach only so far as a nation's border and the arm of its violence.
Cryptography will ineluctably spread over the whole globe, and with
it the anonymous transactions systems that it makes possible.

For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract.
People must come and together deploy these systems for the common
good.  Privacy only extends so far as the cooperation of one's
fellows in society.  We the Cypherpunks seek your questions and your
concerns and hope we may engage you so that we do not deceive
ourselves.  We will not, however, be moved out of our course because
some may disagree with our goals.

The Cypherpunks are actively engaged in making the networks safer for
privacy.  Let us proceed together apace.

Onward.

To true bitcoiners, I'm sad for you, bitcoin was corrupted and Saylor is an example, we need to stay vigilant, especially when someone came pretty from nowhere. Bitcoin,  Monero and others like Bitcoin cash... we shouldn’t fight each other, arrogance is bad and it blind us. Bitcoin, Monero, all of us who cherish liberty, we need to rise for freedom and privacy like the cypherpunks ever did before. We are the continuation, fighting oppression and dystopia need to be our common way regardless of tech or market price. We can do better, we need to do better, together. I will ever promote theses fondamental values 🫡


You don’t care about bitcoin, or privacy, or moral at the end, you just want more money, it’s sad but ok have fun with your fedcoin, just keep in mind one day they will come to you for taking all what you was thinking owning


#Bitcoin has been hijacked thanks to KYC, custodial wallets, and rich investors.

Seems to be real simple now, in my opinion:

Bitcoin is digital gold, a store of value, a hedge against inflation. Absolutely yes - buy it, save in it, and hold it. The reality is we are still in the USD system and that will not change. So if you’re in for “number go up,” then just admit that. Nothing wrong with that if you’re just aware of it. We’re all in the same financial system, so I understand, especially because Bitcoin has already failed what it set out to do.

#Monero on the other hand, is digital cash. It seems to be the only money that actually held onto the values and mission that Bitcoin was supposed to hold to and solve. So get some Monero, and SPEND IT. That’s the purpose.

They both have utility. It’s annoying to see that Bitcoin maxis are so anti-Monero for no reason. Like stop and think for a second — why? I have not seen a single legitimate reason other than “BTC is worth more in USD” which misses the point entirely. Stop calling it a “shit-coin” simply because it isn’t Bitcoin. That isn’t how it works.

If Bitcoin was a threat and was succeeding in the mission it was supposed to be accomplishing, it wouldn’t be available to purchase on an exchange. Monero on the other hand, is getting delisted.

Before (if) you reply in disagreement, keep it civil. Way too many butthurt people recently for no reason.


Because you don’t have problem with third party, go using Instant Sepa, it’s faster and inexpensive 🙄


I'm not sure what's more surprising, the fact that you think reading 50 books on Bitcoin makes you an expert, or the fact that you seem completely oblivious to the elephant in the room. Bitcoin's been co-opted by state agents, and the OGs who actually understood the tech have been warning about this for years.

You're still stuck in 2017, thinking that Bitcoin is the revolution it once promised to be. But the truth is, it's been captured by the very same powers it was meant to disrupt. The devs are in bed with the regulators, and the network is being slowly strangled by the very same forces it was meant to overthrow.

You want to talk about 'doing your homework'? How about doing some real research on why the Bitcoin OG's have abandoned ship? Why did they move on to other projects, like Monero? It's not because they're 'no-coiners' or 'Bitcoin haters.' It's because they saw the writing on the wall, and they knew that Bitcoin was no longer the decentralized, censorship-resistant network it once was.

You can keep reading your books, but until you understand the real reasons why Bitcoin's been co-opted, you'll never truly grasp the nature of the beast. So, I'll leave you with a challenge, go dig into the archives, read the old Bitcoin forums, and talk to the OGs who were there from the beginning. Ask them why they left, and what they're working on now. That's where the real education begins.


M. Saylor lied on the executive order in 1933 for gold. The order was an obligation, if you don’t comply, it was a crime, as written a penalties of $10k or 10 years imprisonment or both... Saylor commited a big mistake, what a shame

The whole point of #Bitcoin is the optionality & ability to actually hold your own money, instead of someone's liability.

Now, you have thinkbois who argue that you should just stick to the old ways & give your money to the banksters.

Absolute madness!

After the swap, when you receive your first transaction on the Monero wallet (I like feather wallet, it’s like electrum), moving funds to another sub address or a new wallet is good. Running your own node is very nice but if you don’t want or you can’t, you should use Tor (preconfigured on feather wallet to connect after block sync, nothing to do especially). The goal is to hide your IP to a remote node and be even more anonymous


If you want to swap, i can advice exch : https://exch.cx/

Actually, there is far more liquidity on usdc rather than usdt but it change in the time.

There is no KYC and I never had any issue with the service

Maybe you should not directly send from binance to a swap service, use a middle wallet to lure binance, with all the "regulations" going on, your transaction will eventually be considered suspect by AML rules and your asset frozen


More like BlackRock ad. Maybe you thought of Monero?


You are a fanatic of bitcoin, you have no arguments, you just mock of the others and if bitcoin’s community is like you, bitcoin is doomed, because of you the community. 10 years ago it was different, people where smart, not in a run for money but trying to build the money of internet. These good philosophy is out of bitcoin’s community but in Monero instead. I am really sad for you and hope better


Of course no, we are not, and we don’t need, but when you are doing bad things and attract feds, you need to be


Are you aware that the US and many other governments are storing absolutely all the data you leave on the internet?

From your history of websites visited, your comments on social networks, your photos, your bank details, your tax data, the calls you make, absolutely everything.

All that is stored until they need to accuse you of something or spy on you for some reason.

Besides, now, with the fake artificial intelligence, it is very easy to analyze this data and correlate them.

Humans have become very predictable thanks to all the data they have on us, the riots are over, the government has perfected the boiled frog syndrome to the extreme.

It's a bit hopeless, I think we will eventually end up agreeing with the unabomber.

Technology is making us more and more slaves. We need cryptography to protect us from the government, but maybe we should involute in some aspects, especially social ones. Return to the countryside and create a more atomized society with circular economies and cryptography.


You want bitcoin for running TOR, are you from CIA ?


They are not fool to use Bitcoin, the failure was probably from bad opsec, not Monero itself 😉


We shouldn’t be opposed, I want Bitcoin with privacy, it’s called Monero... sorry for you 🫠


More than Bitcoin anyway 🤭


The article don’t tell how Monero was compromised so maybe it wasn’t


How dumb one can be to use a custodial wallet and say that payed without any financial institutional? 😂😂😂

This people dont understand what they are doing 🤡🤡🤡

And yet here we are.

Many people say this over and over but seem to just overlook that the current state of BTC is far from what the original protocol was/is

Thus, if anyone can change the protocol, then where is the trust less system?

What's stopping BTC Core from implementing more changes and taking out things that don't understand or think is "pointless"

Jewish diaspora was a perfect example of decentralization, around 2k years in that situation, they survived without land or army and even being persecuted in every generation, now they return to their ancestral land written in Bible. We can disagree with Israeli politics but that thing is like a miracle, maybe it is after all. The lesson here is probably to never give up


All politicians are not equal, some want power and some really want to improve the situation, we can’t blame all politicians but saying taxes can be removed seems to be an illusion, do we know one country where there is no taxes ?


Monero being delisted from CEX and banned by regulations is a healthy signal, they don’t want Monero because they fear it, very difficult to trace transactions, make the KYC and ASIC irrelevant, Monero succeed where Bitcoin failed, they understand a real threat against financial dystopia is now alive


What if I told you entire COPA was set up in the same way, and Jack and Adam et al  are just waiting to yank your sidechains?

At least know the devil your sleeping with

Americans love deregulation.

So, when there's no one checking what's going in where, you eat whatever or dyor.

It's what you want right? Deregulation,  less government and less oversight?

Eat chemicals then

EU regulations actually benefits their society.

Study Monero 👀


The narrative moved from "don't trust, verify" to "don't verify, trust".
How is it possible ? #bitcoin #woke #monero #saylor https://video.nostr.build/8665cd7a39ce3f5d1ee28cfa801d61fc7085328acc0071458931060c0ebec1f2.mp4


Political chaos is connected with the decay of language... one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end.


The mining centralisation, KYC and transparent ledger is a mess, we the people should use Monero or something like that,, BCH have cashshuffle wich I like but there is no protection against ASIC wich is a big problem


Sorry to say that, but hash rate going up don’t necessarily means more security, it can be 3 letters agency running more and more farms for overtaking the network like they partially did on TOR


There is much more use cases than that, i never buy drugs with Monero, but i buy my VPN acess with Monero for example 😎


Monero doesn't need to fix anything, because it already started without the problems that BTC has. Monero is real money, BTC is a store of value, and I don't know for how long it will be.


Monero fixes this because you don't have any clue who's a small holder and who is a large holder unless they tell you.


You are fucked if you use Bitcoin, thanks to public ledger and KYC


What was your problem with Monero? Used from years and never had any problem


I prefer BCH to BT, is far close to the original conception, but the problem is BCH use the same algo of BTC so 51% attack is too easy


The more I actually try to use Bitcoin Lightning, the more I hate it. I just want to send and receive digital shekels. All of this shit about channels, inbound/outbound liquidity, etc is a pain in the ass and gets between me and what I want. The fact that channels can arbitrarily get closed, leaving money in limbo for days is even more shit.

AlbyHub closed a new channel I opened after 13 fucking minutes... now I need to fund another one if I want my wallet to work, but I can't the funds in AlbyHub because they're too few and stuck in closed channels anyway.

I have an embedded node Zeus wallet on a phone with enough sats to do the job, but oh no! The channel's stuck as Inactive, and even if it does activate properly, there's too many zombie channels so any attempt at payment times out and goes nowhere.

I won't pretend Monero hasn't given me headaches and borderline heart attacks in the past, but it's got nothing on this Lightning shit. When it works well it works well, but just one piece out of alignment and it all goes to shit. Lightning fucking sucks, and I'm not willing to pretend it doesn't.
