truth nvke.

In this since 2010. Almost seen it all. Some realisations take time. There are next steps, but I see none of it getting accomplished by Bitcoin. We need open source hardware We need alternative ways to enter the internet (mesh) We need anonymisaton of traffic (i2p) We need private communication (SimpleX) We need private transction networks (Monero) We need decentralise public communication (Nostr) Bitcoin with its KYC demands is not helping. 99/100 new Bitcoiners enter via KYC. 80/100 use custodians. Meaning with ongoung Bitcoin adoption current visible problems only will get worse.

We're still very early, give it a time

Hey look, another Monero guy jumping on a "bitcoin has failed" bus and driving through town.

Bitcoin has failed me. I am just your random Monero guy that coincidentally happened to be in Bitcoin when it all began. I don't care if BlackRock sees value in it to keep or expand their reign.

Lol

There you have another early Bitcoiner, not shy of speaking the truth.

You know how hard it is to watch it all go down the drain?

I noticed that you mentioned I2P and not Tor. Personally I believe that Tor has fundamental advantages over I2P. I believe that one of the greatest advantages of Tor is how much choice it gives to the people who participate in the network. Someone can use Tor without relaying other people's traffic, and node operators can opt in or out of being an exit node, even picking and choosing what kind of traffic and clearnet destinations one will allow the user to visit through you. Not every user has the same values or OpSec. Some people live in countries where running a Tor node is illegal, even if they can't know what encrypted traffic they are relaying. I believe that I2P's choice to have everyone relay other people's traffic is a big problem. Also, the small number of relays that allow for browsing the clearnet is a problem. What do you think?
