You have a pile of Bitcoins and nowhere to use them. To use them, you have to sell them for fiat currency, with all the risks that entails with regard to the state. This is the big elephant in the room that no one talks about. image

I am a Bitcoin maximalist, much more so than those who criticize me and who do not live a Bitcoin lifestyle, but before being a Bitcoin maximalist, I am anti-statist, and if there is anything that can annoy the State more than Bitcoin, I will use it. I owe nothing to anyone. I have to be worthy of Bitcoin, but Bitcoin also has to be worthy of me. I will never be a slave to my words; life is about effectiveness, more pragmatism, and less theory.

Less crap like Citrea and chains like ARK or Spark, which are unnecessary right now, and more Shopstr. And above all, change the attitude. HODL is useless. View quoted note →

I'm going to show how wrong Bitcoiners are about Bitcoin as a store of value. What's happening now with the dark markets? Since most of them offer their services for privacy coins because Bitcoin hasn't offered any convincing solutions, you have to exchange your Bitcoins for these coins in order to buy anything. What happens if we continue on the same path as before, where, for example, Monero is creating communities where you can buy things with Monero? You'll end up exchanging your Bitcoins for Monero in order to buy anything. What good will Bitcoin be in the end if we don't offer goods and services for Bitcoin? Is it better to stay quiet about all this? And suck each other's dicks? It's a fucking huge strategic mistake. And that's it for my advice today. I just know that I don't see any progress in this when others do. image

I'm human, you know, and I get angry, quite easily in fact. I can hardly spend my Bitcoin without going through fiat. It's all very nice in theory, but in practice most Bitcoiners aren't doing anything that really matters. If you don't understand my warnings, you're just sucking your own dick. To progress, you have to be critical of yourself and your surroundings. Although I admit that sucking dicks gets you further. Wake up, damn it, and use Bitcoin for what it's meant for.

I have to make this post because otherwise I'll explode, and obviously I don't think it will make anyone happy, but that's what it means to be free and not care what others say. As you know, I've had my ups and downs with Monero supporters, but a few weeks ago I decided to put that behind me and start trying out everything in the Monero ecosystem, and I can only say that Monero's privacy works and in that respect it's wonderful. Bitcoin on layer 1 has nothing on Monero in that area. Monero is totally fungible and by default, without complications. That said, my conclusion is that Bitcoin and Monero are like night and day, so different that I don't think they even compete with each other, but so different that I think you have to cover yourself by holding both in case one fails. - Bitcoin has a limited supply, never more than 21 million. Monero has a queue emission of 0.6 Monero per block approximately every 2 minutes. In practice, by 2050 there will be 22.64 million Monero and by 2100 there will be 30.53 million Monero. This is a totally different model for securing the network through subsidies. - In Bitcoin, the supply is fully verifiable. In Monero, you have to trust that the underlying cryptography has no implementation errors and that there has been no hidden inflation. This is the price to pay for privacy. - Bitcoin has a maximum block size of 4MB and scales through layer 2 solutions. Monero has a dynamic block size that allows it to remain functional in times of stress, but it must be accepted that if the chain were heavily used, decentralization would be lost. - Mining is also completely opposite. Bitcoin chose to professionalize it at the expense of decentralization but being more resistant to state attacks due to its hash power. Monero is the opposite, preferring to make it more decentralized with conventional equipment but vulnerable to state attacks due to its low hash power. - When it comes to privacy, the discussion is quite short. Monero is private and fungible at layer 1, Bitcoin is not. And aside from these things, which I believe are objective and I am not going to evaluate, what I am going to evaluate is that Bitcoin is losing the Cypherpunk ideals, as demonstrated by its development. I believe that both Core and those who support BIP110 have lost their way. So, given that Bitcoin and Monero are diametrically opposed and given the danger of Bitcoin's failed development, it is worth considering Monero as an alternative.

One of the things I got wrong was underestimating AI when it first came out, at least as far as IT is concerned. My current view is as follows, and I'll explain it for people who aren't involved in IT. I am a craftsman and I make custom swords, putting a lot of love into the ones I make. It takes me 10 hours to make a sword, but now I have an assistant who makes swords that are not entirely to my liking, and they are very generic, but my assistant makes 10 swords in 10 hours and I make one. That said, AI is just as dangerous, if not more so, than social media when it comes to privacy and social control. So yes, I was wrong. AI is changing and will change the entire world of IT.
