Satoshi Nakamoto, Hal Finney, & Jack Dorsey are some of the few if only people who have actually done anything to benefit Bitcoin. And I am skeptical of Jack still but I'm being generous enough to assume that he's turned a new leaf, and does care about the principles of individual freedom, and choice. I believe individuals can change, and improve but unfortunately a lot of us have bad memories from being banned, suppressed, and Censored under Jack, not that Elon is any better. You can blame Jack, his woke staff, or The Government for the bans, regardless it makes sense why people are skeptical of him. I miss the old Bitcoin, that was about technology, freeing the individual, and giving people a wat to transact over the internet without a bank. But now the culture of Bitcoin feels like it's all about Fiat gains, price pumps, and strategic reserves. If I wanted to be rich in fiat I would use the fiat tools to make me rich, and multiple my wealth, Bitcoin for me isn't about price which is why I don't HODL, I have some saved up sure but I'm lucky to even save Bitcoin because I'm usually spending it faster than I can save but that's just my circumstances, I'm not poor but I'm definitely not rich either. And I'm trying my best to save, and invest for a better future, as well as work hard to move up in life.

My intent is to save at least $10,000 in Bitcoin, 20 to 60+ Monero, reasonable amounts in gold, silver, etc., a house, most of my networth in stocks, and Bonds for probably 20 years, some alt investments, etc. I want my money to work, and grow, be hedged, and safe but also allow to have sound seed capital if I ever need to restart and grow from $0 again.

I don't think I'm the biggest Monero voice on Nostr since we have @Hanshan, @Saberhagen The Nameless, @Schmidt, @rafael_xmr, etc. But I think ironically I get known as "The Monero guy" more so than anyone else probably because I put a face to the name, & the normies trust faces more than figures, I'm not sure, or because I'm more vocal, or because my posting methods is different. I don't think I'm a Monero guy, I think I'm just a guy who uses what works, and right now Monero is amongst one of the best, if not the best tool as money in my opinion but if Monero fails to work then I will gladly move to what does work. I use Bitcoin but I find the justification for its use case to shrink as time progresses. I try to not get focused on the money since most people on here already understand the money, I try to talk about other things but despite this I get known as the shitcoiner because I just want people to be factual. I like Bitcoin, and I hope it succeeds but I'm also not going to be delusional, and ignore the reality of things.

I think as time continues on, more, and more people here will begin to be more open to using Monero. As the facts continue to come out, and the glass towers shatters. Everyone on here complains about v30, and some of the devs but ignore the reality that the direction Bitcoin is heading in is only getting worse if we continue on this path. Monero acknowledges this, and said we're doing different trade-offs, ones that we think will be more efficient as P2P cash. When Monero discovered the malicious node exploit by Chainalysis, Monero added a suspected Malicious Node Ban list as a countermeasure to prevent malicious ledgers transmission, and connecting to dangerous deanonymization nodes, as well as making it more difficult for malicious nodes to track. When Monero got attacked by Qubit the community immediately started decentralizing more by putting more miners online, and making proposals to counteract selfish mining. Monero has been one of the few decentralized Cryptocurrencies that has matched Bitcoin's level of Decentralized, and Adaptation. But in more recent years Bitcoin has failed to adapt. Monero is usually at least 25% to 50% or greater of money marketshare on Multi-coin shops where Monero is allowed to compete, Monero tends to be Number 1, and in some cases number 2. While Bitcoin tends to 1, 2, or in some cases number 3. Darknets markets almost exclusively only accept Monero now, and stop accepting Bitcoin from what I have read. I think the narrative of Bitcoin Only Dies More, and More as three things happen. 1. Bitcoin continues to release bad forks. 2. Monero users join Nostr more. 3. People on here change their minds.

I just wanted to let you all know that for some reason, YouTube won't let you talk about Nostr 🤔.

Ok, rebroadcast my following list, most of you should be back now 😎👍.

There's Chaos in Poverty, and Stability in Wealth. That's why they want everyone poor so there can't be a rebellion launched against them.

Is there a way to download kind 3 as as a txt, excel, odt, doc, csv, or pdf, etc. #AskNostr

This is why I diversify, while Crypto, & stocks are tanking, the dollar is still a “dollar”.

The Social Class you were born in, & the zip code you live in are amongst some of the biggest determinations of where you’ll end up at. Most people don’t escape.

People like their pre-comfirmed biases affirmed by others. Notice how most people tend to fold even under the slightest pressure because most people aren't critical thinkers, they follow trends, and do what's socially acceptable as a survival mechanism to fit in.

I'm fixing my following problem, either later on today, or tomorrow. Who knows.

Why I bought Bitcoin in 2018: To become rich quick (but I ended up becaming poor quick). Why I bought Bitcoin in 2021 - 2025 to use as P2P cash. Why I buy Bitcoin now: To use as Collateral for Credit Products, & engage in greater fool theory, & give it to someone else later on when the gain/risk calculation is at the point where Bitcoin becomes overpriced.
