 Can someone and I mean anyone give me a non speculative use for BTC? 
 Hey can someone shoot me the list of xmr Nostr relays I don’t think have them all . 
 Anyone want free Kuno.Anne.Media stickers for free? Shoot me a DM with an addy! A great fundraising site where we keep you anonymously safe from likes of terroristic dirty  Jews and looney β€œCristian Zionist”

 5am is my average wake and bake and code. Sometimes SEO other times graphics for our websites stickers. It’s the prefect time here just be couple hours before the sunrise. These are some of the first for KuNo.Anne.media but definitely not the final versions. Just 50 to get the ball rolling.

 Ya that being true she was amazing to work with at her time with me at Google Fiber. She didn’t like what she was encouraged by the others to do and wish she left when I did.

 HODL your wife.

HODL your kids.

HODL your bitcoin. 
 Meh spend it. I’ll hodle 5 btc and 15 eth for at most one more cycle and the I see mass decline in price in fiat after. Maybe 2 cycles at best. The first two I strongly agree with and killing my mind dating the beach woman around here. Just want someone who want to build a family but once they know I own my home outright plus other properties and a sizable bank account about to grow exponentially over the next couple months that’s all they seem to see me as. Monero I hodle more and spend literally only fin value in spending and holding xmr. Would never advice a coin losing utility and users and coins gone forever continuously till it will be near zero or at zero. Not what I’d trust as many as I see putting them into generational wealth for their kin and so on. What do I know I’ve only been in Bitcoin since late 2009-early 2010. 
 Why? I’ve had 3.7 btc on a paper wallet just find cause it’s only use is gaining me money is from the wash trading and the whales and miners controlling the price so I can swap out for a coin with utility and fungibility. XMR superior in every way and growing. 

Whoops think I missed your joke…

 Is something still a scam if it’s completely honest about what it is and how it works? 
 Guess there’s no logical answer for this. Especially saddening as I’ve been in bitcoin longer than most and once upon a time thought it was worth the effort. Now just an uphill battle against true cypherpunk ideals.

 I have over 15000-20k  btc lost forever. I know a fair amount who have lost 100k. A tail emission makes mathematical sense and many other BIPs do. Currently miners have been mining at losses that basic calculus has shown for years.being back up in the realm of breaking even currently. It’s a dead project. They will not get consensus in Core. It’s a useless coin. Inflation bugs, double spend bugs, I mean it has a terrible history but I always appreciate it for bringing  about devs that knew how to fix the problems with BTC with numerous superior chains. 
 What you just said doesn’t make sense. Bitcoin supply will ultimately go to zero at its rate. There is plenty of btc lost forever. Explain you understanding of β€œmildly interesting math”. I may not like Pete but he’s great with math and that includes high math. 
 Ok explain the mostly interesting math he’s still pushing for as of two days ago. Yes I read it and he as usual is partly right. Maybe watch more of his recent speeches . 
 Build your home fully sustainable and clean water systems. Also most importantly home school. 
 Who the fuck gave me $22k worth of sats? Has anyone had Alby have a glitch on there custodial version though Zeus? 
 No I do not. I’ve ran up and down some kind of glitch but it converted to on chain just fine. 
 Swapped half to to XMR and a 1/4 to btc in chain. Where most my preferred vendors accept. I use to tip with LN  on here but with  Garnet and BirdPay  now I can use with monero my lighting usage is becoming less and less. Still left a quarter of it in sats cause they come in handy for like the maple syrup guy and vendors like him. 
 So once again it appears no one can actually say why monero isn’t better than Bitcoin in every aspect except for the price, which is dwindling currently. 21 million Bitcoin forever going to zero. My prediction is by 2063 there will be under 100k Bitcoin. Scarcity is great but when no schedule to replace the lost ones(which is a lot and ever growing) which in fact means there never be 21 million by the time the last block is mined. 
 Hope he will answer…this is an honest question I can never get an answer to. Please have this minor dialogue with me.

 Honest question for Plebs and Developers in general. Why do so many of you block me when in mid conversation y’all lack technical facts and just block so you can repeat the same lies that had been debunked by the people they block. This is referring to Xdotcom but I’ve experienced here as well. I’d like and guest question from the technically knowledgeable btc only crowd. 
 
Disclosure. I’m obviously a monero guy but recognize the dwindling use case of p2p money in bitcoin so I use it onchain quite frequently. Also up front my Lightning Network usage is for fun mostly and with monero tipping on here now it’s decreased quite a bit. Most my vendors refuse to use LN and if BTC is an option it’s on chain and requires a 5-10% fee. @Derek Ross @jackmallers @jb55 
https://m.primal.net/KCTQ.jpg 
 Please have a better answer than Lightning. I like the potential of covenants. But really secure privacy isn’t a sole in LN without using Bolt12 and still only projects one sides privacy, and not great. 
 @jack any input? I am asking in good faith since I’m someone who’s been in btc since 2010. 
 I hope your solutions get accepted. I just fear the further we get from good implementations the chance of thriving dwindles. I have much respect for you and was so psyched when you start using lmdb for this client. If I remember correctly. Either way your amazing dev that I have a lot of respect for. 
 You have discredited Monero and I believe referred to it as a shitcoin and refused being funded by it. Is it because you don’t like anything others than bitcoin or do you really considers it a shitcoin?

 How is it the most decentralized? My metrics show solo mining with RandomX decentralized it a lot more. Granted p2p pool before its current state made an attack easier but would be short lived attack. Bitcoin has little censorship resistance. Lacks full fungibility. I think the biggest leaping is calling btc Freedom Money. Dnms that made btc popular is removing it as an option left and right. The digital
Gold narrative is all they have right now and lacks empirical evidence of it being similar. I’d say if it survives the future in its current path it could be better than gold for storing value but gold is one of a kind and plenty have held as a better sov in the last week, month and YTD. I love bitcoin but can’t help but see if nothing changes significantly it will fail by the next cycle. Just my option. Just curious why you refused monero donation that you could swap to your preferred currency. I am rambling this morning but I think you understand my position and my questions. 
 Garnet is great but cake wallet can tip accounts with their address in bio since before Garnet. I still use primal till my new Pixel comes and I’ll likely use Garnet and hope for more improvements. However on IOS it’s always been Damus(originally) and Primal more recently. I appreciate all the long hard work you put in. 🫑 
 It y’all need to make a fundraiser I highly recommend one and and can attest to the great stories of people in war zones making it out because of the amazing privacy of #Monero #XMR $XMR    kuno.Anne.media 
 Are you in Nostr? It’s a heart protocol full of people like myself that like you content. Plus can get tipped directly to you with no middle man. 
 Yeah distillate but they are from a Florida medical dispensary. This brand is called Kind. Used them to make a 150 gummy bears. It was my first time making any kind of gummy but I think they came out well.

 It's time for a culture shift in Bitcoin and I can see it happening. 
 Someone’s out here really promoting some testicle sunning…reminds me of this comedy show where they were advocating to their city council on the benefits  of perineum sunning. πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ 
 The joys of using BTC in black markets. LN doesn’t fix this but XMR currently does. Don’t let your ego get you sent to prison. Monero is battle tested and ready for you to use for purchasing Ozempic on the black marketβ€¦πŸ€£

 Every monero user on Nostr needs to be pumping #XMR & #Monero on every post because these bitchcoin (sad ass attempt at privacy) lightning(hoping it’s what they’ve been told) maxis here are going to do everything here to stop you and I. 
 I do my best regarding all available competing technologies. However this and more recent posts show that even on nostr that antagonizing posts and or β€œshitposting” can double the reach almost immediately. I am and always have been one for constructive discourse between crypto communities. Nostr needs some slight leveling out from my normal posting pattern here, I would say. 
 Usually run 2 mobiles(1 iOS, 1 Graphene OS) and currently waiting on my replacement pixel in the mail. I do appreciate the offer but if I could recommend any amount at any viable looking fundraiser on kuno.Anne.media 
 Perhaps. Plenty of proof to the contrary though.
