Just another entitled cunt who thinks she knows better than everyone else. She's smarter, more virtuous, more morally superior too, to boot.
There's a fucking epidemic of them out there.
Probably won't happen if you eat less carbs, or gain more muscle (muscle is kinda like a sink for carbs, if they are worked out consistently and are of appreciable size, they'll always scoop up the extra energy)

I need it for digital payments made in a private way.
It's just a tool, not the be all end all. Am I the only one who's happy we have CHOICES to pay anonymously and privately online?
We don't even need the statists and globalists to divide and conquer us, we do it ourselves, to ourselves.
Goddamit xD
lol dude. You think the bucket stops at CB? Come on.
Even if it did, do you trust CB to keep your data safe for the rest of your life?
"Who's watching". In a world of pervasive mass-surveillance and now AI agents. lol.
Do you honestly think the people who've been busy playing tyrant are going to do less of that if they can track what everyone does in real time with near-complete accuracy (transparency...)?
Or might they instead double down on the control and censorship, you think?
Start meditating (or continue if you do).
Specifically: samatha to stabilize your concentration, vipassana to learn to see reality as it is without your ego/mind overlaying its own thing on top, and metta to open your heart.
Nothing is more important imo. Wake up, know thyself. Everything else will fall into place.
*stop identifying with thoughts.
thoughts come and go, that's what the mind does.
but are you mindful enough not to be forcefully and unconsciously merged with those thoughts, moment by moment?
THAT is the question.
Left-leaning and leftist are two different things. Woke and leftist either entirely or almost entirely overlap. Those are the deranged nutty ones.
I disagree with a lot of left-wing politics but I can have conversations with people who have such opinions, I disagree but I can their logic, and vice versa.
Woke/leftists though, always very angry and emotional, bitter and resentful, resort to name calling and bullying because logic is not their forté, and they are not in the argument to discover what the truth is, but to bully others into submitting to their nonsense.
It's democracy only when they get the result they want. Otherwise it's a threat from the people.
This coming from the people who see everything through the lens of oppressor and oppressed and believe there is no truth, only power.
When they tell you how they think, listen.
Can also vote for classical liberal or libertarian or right-wing policies, but the masses presently don't want to.
And why would they. Hooked to the tit of the State as they are.
Channel updates are public knowledge and you can be sure that there are many entities logging each and every change and building a searchable history, from which many correlations can be inferred.
Anyway, either one (ln/xmr) is much better than btc l1 when it comes to privacy and anonymity.
It's very telling that after women earned the vote, the welfare state was practically born overnight, and it turned out that their primary concerns as a group were having the ability to murder babies, and endlessly victimizing and pandering to themselves.
In other words, women as a group are one fucktastic orgastic neon ball of relentless narcissism. I suspect our ancestors knew this well.
To top it all off, many regularly complain that men don't want to share their feelings - this is after as a group they repeatedly and consistently deflect, ignore, and downplay such feelings.
Oh, and the cherry on top, if shit hits the fan due to their collective imbecility, they still expect the men to go fix everything (die in war, get rid of the invaders they invited in, etc).
It's all fun and games until shit hits the fan. Then it's on to "someone" fixing it for them.
Oh well.
Almost right.
True power is observing thoughts and emotions, without forgetting who you are (not the thoughts and emotions).
Logic is fine and all, but in the final analysis, it's just another constellation of thoughts.
Go beyond thought. Go beyond the mind. You will be delighted with what you find.
GPS is passive, so if no nefarious app or the OS is not uploading location data, it's fine.
Without airplane mode, yes, of course there will be permanent records of your location stored.
GrapheneOS + open-source apps only + airplane mode is a pretty good combo.
What changed my mind was my own experiments in finding what works best. Listen to the body, it knows. And it's trying to tell you every day. Most people today live too much in their own head and ignore those signs, for years and decades, until disease comes.
It does not have to be like that.
First they came for #monero and you said nothing.
Hell.. why do y'all think CEXes were bullied into delisting Monero, and why did you think Lightning (with it's acceptable privacy and anonymity for many use cases) would be any different?
I just knew there would be a couple of ignorant maxis complaining about nym having a token.
The amazing design they've come up with, the stellar dev lineup, the extremely strong privacy and anonymity guarantees, the massive improvement over any currently existing solution.. none of that matters to the maxi - nym has a token, therefore they must all be shitcoiners looking for boundless profit.
Or, you know, it could be because they understand something that you maxis don't..
Hmm, no.
It lost purchasing power by that amount (assuming your numbers are correct).
It had minimal, transparent and predictable inflation in the form of block rewards.
That is not inflation. Common mistake.
Inflation tends to cause price changes, but not all price changes are a result of inflation.
Inflation would be 10 million more Bitcoin having been created, doubling the supply and therefore reducing the value as expressed in another unit (say, USD) as each individual sat would now be worth less, as there would be about twice as many sats than before.
I echo your sentiment about learning basic economics back to you.
I don't blame you btw, this is a very common mistake.
But perhaps be a little more humble. The ego thing really doesn't reflect very well on anyone - 10x so if you happen to be wrong on top of it.

I already replied to you with a link that explains beyond any reasonable doubt why this is incorrect.
Feel free to keep your current erroneous perspective if you'd prefer. I have no dog in this fight.
No, it's not a semantic discussion.
Your definition, widely used by laypeople today but incorrect, fails to differentiate between real inflation caused by an increase in the money supply, and "inflation" as in price rises.
By your definition, after the money supply has been jacked up by, say , 6000%, and prices go up massively but stabilize after several years because among other things the money printer miraculously was put back in the closet, there is at that point no inflation anymore ("look ma, prices have not gone up this year!").
By the correct definition, the fact that there have been no price increases over the last year is immaterial, fact is the money supply is up by 6000% and THAT is inflation.
What you're saying is akin to someone who weighs 80kg on year 0,
90kg on year 1,
110kg on year 2,
130kg on year 3,
and then remains at 40%+ bodyfat and 130kg for the rest of their life,
saying they "have not gained any weight lately".
Sure, they have not, but they still put on 40kg of fat over a period of 4 years in the past and they're still obese and unhealthy.
I am sorry that your ego prevents you from seeing such an obvious point. Really at this point I'm no longer trying to help you see that you have a wrong definition which will invariably complicate your thinking surrounding this & adjacent topics.
No, I'm bothering typing this up so that others who may end up reading this in the future understand why the erroneous, currentlt predominant definition of inflation is wrong and misleading.
Hard to leave people around when the whole concept is collectivism to one degree or another.
Not to say the right is all angels, of course. But any kind of left-wing politics is gonna come with coercing a fair share™ of other people's money out of their pockets.
I just don't see how it could ever be compatible with leaving people alone.
True, I didn't mean to imply all LH ideas are crap and all RH ones (although I would dispute the notion that crony capitalism and the military-industrial complex are not RH ideas in the slightest, even though a certain party that advertises itself as more RH from a certain country we all know tends to be the one pushing such ideas forward.
100% with you on Ron Paul.
Man, I wish some of you guys could see how you sound from the outside. And I've been in Bitcoin longer than probably literally 95% of you.
That's such an unsubstantiated dogmatic position it's not even funny.
Open your mind a little. There are several other interesting projects out there.
None of them is Bitcoin, and none of them is pretending to be. That doesn't mean they have no use and no value, it means they have different goals.
There are no solutions, only tradeoffs.
That's just stupid, you deliberately pick one silly example out of all the possibilities, in order to use that as justification that everything else is silly too.
Once upon a time your supplier didn't accept Bitcoin either, and be either researched it himself and adopted it, or someone orange-pilled him.
It's understandable you don't have the patience to educate and redpill people on privacy. Although I would say that is unfortunate, because lack of awareness about its importance is exactly why we are where we are today, and it was all so predictable and avoidable.
Also, to you and anyone else who happens to read, get into your head that most Monero users are not maxis, we care about PRIVACY and ANONYMITY, and we believe Monero is the best financial tool for that purpose at the moment.
I won't go into the pro/cons and up/downsides of Monero vs Lightning, so I will just say to you, I am just as happy if at least you use lightning when you pay your supplier.
Help normalize privacy. That's all most of us (also most of us use or at least hold Bitcoin too, often at a 90:1 or even bigger ratio, by the way) are asking for.
It's the normalization of reckless transparency that criminalizes people like me. We just want to do our thing and be left alone. Nothing shady (mostly lol), nothing special, but I have a right to do my business and my transactions without doxxing everything to government, corporations, and on a transparent chain, literally to the whole world in perpetuity.
It's not too much to ask. Right?
