I also like how public figures in the Bitcoin community focus their arguments solely on Bitcoin's open source code, without mentioning the philosophical aspect.
If your memory is slightly better than that of a goldfish, and you were part of the community back then, you must remember when the narrative emerged: Bitcoin is "digital gold", buy, hold and don't spend/sell. View quoted note →

I listened to the interview while making dinner, about how some folks in the BTC community are trying to clean up Blockstream / Bitcoin Core from uncle Epstein's dirty money.
Honestly, it didn't sound convincing.
Simon Dixon talks about how decentralized Bitcoin is, and a couple of minutes later he talks about how Adam Back decided to bring all the most advanced developers under one roof (Blockstream) + how some of Bitcoin Core received money from the MIT Digital Currency Initiative (which also received money from uncle Epstein).
In other words, uncle Jeffrey sponsored both sides (Blockstream + MIT DCI) that were directly working on Bitcoin.
Yeah, that really smells like decentralization.
Also, I don't understand why there is so much negativity towards Tether (USDT), which successfully pumped the price of BTC to 120k...
A nice thing is that BTC fans are just as fed up with the "privacy coin psyop." 😌
And finally, the standard mantra of "everyone should put their energy into Bitcoin" began.
But this was especially funny: "So if you want to discredit Bitcoin, then fine. But understand, you're supporting things that are doing a lot worse. But the solution is not another altcoin."
But I'm not complaining. I'm not one of those who wants to "save Bitcoin", da boyz are fine.
I don't care about BTC for ~10 years.
No matter how happy a Bitcoin degenerate may be, it still doesn't change the fact that Monero is digital cash that doesn't need institutional investors and governments to pump up its price. 😌

Oh, what happened?
Why do I see so much negativity in my feed?
Those who told you fairy tales about "Bitcoin = store of value" are not to blame for you being a naive cuck.
Have a nice day, goyim. ☕
This is what modern dictatorship and genocide look like in Ukraine, in the city of Odessa.
Zelenskyy = dictator.
#war #Ukraine #Zelenskyy
GG = good goys
Actually... that would be very interesting to see.
All the rabid BTC maxis can leave a screenshot of XMR/BTC price. And it won't change the fact that XMR is used as digital cash, despite the delistings from CEXs.
And what is BTC worth without what's listed in this post? 🤔


My dear goyim, don't forget that they showed you exactly what you are allowed to see.


Well, goyim, are you enjoying the show?
Epstein bet on the wrong horse, which lost his money.

It will age like fine wine.


"Bitcoin Core / Blockstream were funded by Epstein!"
Because the first thing that comes to mind is that uncle Jeffrey simply needed private digital money, and just bet on the wrong horse.
I'm not defending anyone. Just enjoying the show. ☕
What a good man uncle Jeffrey Epstein was after all.
He helped develop Bitcoin and invested in Blockstream, which is still not a profitable company until today...

Recently, I wanted to buy a dictionary from reader-dict.com, but they only had the option to buy with a credit card or PayPal.
I wrote them an email saying, "I want to buy your work with cryptocurrency, preferably with Monero."
Now you can buy the dictionary you need for your e-ink reader (and more) using XMR:

People wonder why. Because I'm not a newbie and I understand what I'm doing, and I take responsibility for my actions.
It makes sense to be afraid of the clipboard when your phone is full of proprietary crap and you don't practice good digital hygiene.
The best option for beginners and those who are not afraid of the clipboard is to have a "copy seed phrase" button, but when you click it for the first time, you get a warning about what could happen, and then you see two buttons: "take the risk and copy anyway" and "cancel copying".
Over the past 10-12 years, the UI in crypto has improved slightly, but the UX still sometimes makes me angry and cringe. View quoted note →

I don't like crypto wallets that don't have a seed phrase copy function.
Honestly, I enjoy Epstein's files like fresh homemade pastries, like excellent specialty coffee...
I'm not a naive who believes in democracy and legality. All this data that has been made public is part of a bigger show that is inaccessible to us. [yes-yes, we are all equal]
But seeing politicians, monarchs, and other moral compasses of modern society on the lists is just... 😌
Please remember uncle Jeffrey every time you pay your taxes and go to the polls. He worked hard for you and your politicians.
Have a nice Sunday. I hope you have a good rest today surrounded by your loved ones.
