If you complain of kyc shotguns on monero, it's a skill issue because you didn't used what the market offered. Use haveno-reto.com or unstoppableswaps.net
I might have an idea to wake up bitcoiners on a near situation in Europe.
Europe banned those PROTOCOLS (yes the math not the currency):
ring signatures
confidential transactions
stealth addresses
"I'm bitcoiner I dont care about monero problems"
Honestly, I dont care about those legal problems because I fight for freedom of everybody on this earth.
BUT
You, are using KYC providers right ? And this law was made to ban above monero, as a way to avoid improvement on protocols of other chains SUCH AS BITCOIN
AND WHAT FROM MONERO IS CURRENTLY USED BY BITCOIN AND ON THE MARKET ?
Silent Payments (stealth addresses)
Confidential Transactions (Liquid L2)
Do you start to realize now ?
I *lot* of time heard from a lot of non monero people:
"Nothing happens in monero, it's annoying"
Then you might need to remind them how 2024 was rocky:
- OKX + Binance delisting
- Finnish feds tracing FUD (the deanonymized threat-actor in reality leaked his personal infos in a ransom archive so completely unrelated to monero).
- Spam attack
- LocalMonero.com closure
- Haveno-reto.com launches 2 weeks after like a community response
- botnets shutdown from feds dropping monero's hashrate, giving more opportunity for fair solo or p2pool.io mining.
- Announces about future FCMP++ integration to grow the anonset.
- chainalysis inefficient tools leaked (powered by malicious RPCs and insufficient decoy revealing because most of monero are bought without KYC)
- Kraken delistings in EU
We truly are the bleeding edge of censorship resistance.
The new paradigm monero should reach during this economical decentralization phase, is being usable as an extension along crypto privacy tools to make monero purchasing more private.
For example: getting a MimbleWimble implementation in haveno to trade LTC for XMR, or paynyms for atomicswaps to CoinJoin your swap
I stopped to use bitcoin the day they put my friend tdev in prison. Samourai has a great cypherpunk spirit that I wanted to believe in the bitcoin community.
But in reality, all bitcoiners (very specially those based in US) would spend their life to throw you behind bars if it could keep bitcoin regulated to fulfill their shitty hard money theory.
Satoshi designed bitcoin as a way to make honest coin creation but it gone turned as the whoppy woppy supa rare asset that shows how humans can submit themselves and going more dumb if that could pump their bags.
The famous day, where they hopes dollar collapsing, will not be in their favor. Because they're now beasts they wanted to beat.
You seen how bitcoin reacts everytime the global panic is here and you also sees how monero break limits of manipulation.
If youre a bitcoiner that wanted freedom by having a money you can spend on what you want, learn people about monero. Always in first by usecase and for investment for people financially educated.
You probably noticed haveno-reto.com don't makes a big volume, because this network is very young (end of May).
To grow this network, we need to primarily using it as an escrow with ex P2P traders or new ones. "Hey do you still trade monero for cash ? we can settle on haveno-reto.con I share you my tradeid".
haveno.markets -> good #Monero price tracker rid of Coingecko/CoinMarketCap
monero.boats is also nice
Some of my friends I onboarded on monero complained about long syncing times for their wallets:
So I rant my own full node and gave them a private hidden-service.
Now they enjoys a smooth experience, on using monero and I protect their own privacy.
Do the same to push monero towards decentralization, while on-boarding people you know
Satoshi wanted to add anonymity & privacy in Bitcoin.
Hal Finney also wanted to and he specifically told that "if the digital currency you have to use isnt private or anonymous, it will harm society instead of deserving it".
Bitcoiners are saying "we fight against the FIAT" when in realities they're shilling it to institutions and governments who are seeking it for collateralized loans that will empower the FIAT instead of starving it.
They thinks their asset is providing freedom and threatening states when countries are regulating it because being sufficiently weak while currencies like Monero are getting widely banned and targeted of misinformation and speculative attacks.
Nostr can be extremely dangerous for people not using VPNs/Tor, because they loads images from any URL.
So someone who needs to capture the IP of someone, can simply link to the victim an image-powered "IP grabber/logger" to get the IP of the victim.
