The center of the globe-spanning surveillance apparatus approves and endorses Bitcoin. Somehow... this is fine. Freedom tech, baby! woohoo! no second best! View quoted note →

Jesus fucking Christ, just use #monero already people. Seriously! Are we here for the freedom tech or are he here for ideology and tribal shit? Want onchain privacy? Use Monero. Do whatever the fuck you want with it later, convert to Bitcoin, whatever Who cares! But just stop trying to rationalize away the very simple and self-evident fact that *bitcoin onchain privacy doesn't just suck, IT DOESN'T EXIST**! View quoted note →

I go one step further and say that the concept of telling the entire world for all of eternity every single transaction with full data visible (sender, recipient, amount, asset) is retarded in 2026 (honestly, it was already retarded in 2016). Wake up people. That's what CRS and CARF bolted on top of the already pretty compromised (in terms of privacy and anonymity, and by pretty compromised I mean totally compromised) SWIFT system. More surveillance = more control = more enforced "compliance" || more self-censoring = less freedom. The tools that fix this already exist. Use them. Before it's too late. View quoted note →

#monero address reuse is fine. the danger is offchain correlation. onchain, no problem at all. it's pretty sane, more people should try privacy-by-default which you can't turn off. different feel altogether. ergo, one gets delisted from most exchanges (and thrives anyway), the other is accepted at every exchange, many banks, has ETFs, has cults of personality (Saylor, etc). anonymous privacy is the real threat to the system of totalitarian control being built on our watch. transparent permissioned ledgers? small bump, after a few years of disoriented panic, but eventually the vultures understood: the transparency works in their favor, even if it's permissionless. hence, accepted everywhere. the real thing, delisted everywhere. few understand this.

Iran screwed up by using stablecoins and now by using Bitcoin. In the first case, of course the freeze function was used against them. In this case, it's trivial to enforce sanctions via chain analysis. A transparent ledger is not a freedom fighter's tool. We should have learned that back in the Canadian Trucker days. The right tool for the job is #monero - something tells me that after the transparency bites them in the ass (as the freeze function in stablecoins did), they'll reach the next logical step. p.s: not endorsing or not endorsing any of this, just observing a simple fact.
