It's not surprising that Bitcoin maxis are calling something other than Bitcoin a shitcoin. What is surprising is Monero is probably the only other cryptocurrency that many of them give a pass to, actually use, or respect even if they don't use it: "Monero is a very good privacy complement to Bitcoin" -Nick Szabo "I looked at all the other major cryptocurrencies that had adjustable blocksizes and the only one that I thought that didn't completely suck was Monero" -Jameson Lopp "Maybe you need a Monero" -Michael Saylor "For really strong privacy, Monero is much better" -Andreas Antonopoulos "There's a lot of advantages to using Monero" -Matt Odell "Monero is the only goddamn currency that's used!" -John McAfee "Monero will be a champion in that space and we'll have a Bitcoin-Monero duopoly" -Max Keiser "All fiat systems and all tokens outside of Bitcoin and monero (to my knowledge) have middlemen you cannot get rid of" -Adam Curry "I would say Monero is not a shitcoin. I think it's a very innovative and new research project that works." -Max Hillbrand "Monero; Just use it. Objectively it's better than Bitcoin [for privacy]...it's obvious" -Amir Taaki "Monero is closer to our hearts than whatever Bitcoin is turning into today" -Samourai Wallet "Bitcoin is the reserve currency. Hold it. Privacy coins are transactional privacy. Use them...Monero" -Balaji "99% of cryptocurrencies are complete and total garbage, but even among the upper echeleon of real ones, Monero is in the top percentile, so it deserves our respect" -Paul Sztorc "Surprising number of Monero lovers on #Nostr. It’s the only altcoin that I consider has a community of actual cypherpunks with similarly aligned values as bitcoin." -Guy Swann "Monero has always been the altcoin outlier for me, never a shitcoin because I have a valid use for it that I can't achieve with #bitcoin." -Peter McCormack "I have an issue when Bitcoiners get so closed-minded and says Moneros a shitcoin. No it's not. There's some brilliant people there and there's a lot to learn...I'm a fan of Monero." -Nicholas Gregory of Mercury Layer "monero is the best of all Altcoins" -Calle "To me Monero is the litmus test in Bitcoin...Monero is such a good money just technically" -Ragnar Lifthrasir of Guns N Bitcoin "There are altcoins out there that have interesting ideas, but they are very very rare...if a couple altcoins exist, like Monero, where they actually have an interesting idea and a different model that's fine." -Peter Todd "Monero is doing the job that gave btc its start." -Ray Youssef

Citadel Dispatch 145 - @ODELL with @miljan from @primal re: nostr ecosystem: "...new user experiences that are starting to be better than the legacy UX that is being offered out there. I like to think that merging microblogging short form feeds with long form content within the same app the way we've done with Primal, and merging the wallet into the whole UX there; we're starting to, in some aspects, overtake the feature set and the UX that is available in legacy platforms, and this is just beginning, you know? We've been at it for almost 2 years, we started coding in January 2023." (Episode recorded in November, 2024.)

Big tech social media? Why? Nostr via @primal and @Stacker News. You'll earn sats through zaps. Olas is a WIP Instagram-like client for nostr; freeflow is a WIP TikTok-like client for nostr. cc. @Kieran, @PABLOF7z. image
