Bitcoiners you know, showing love for #Monero

All these Bitcoiners seem to think Monero is great too: "Monero is a very good privacy complement to Bitcoin" -Nick Szabo "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: getmonero.org" -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

I'm glad Monero is getting some respect. I don't have any nor have ever, but every time I go back to the ideas the Satoshi built, and built on, I feel there are missing pieces to this. Monero seems to have configured at least some of these pieces. I esp. am interested in the distributed mining and obv. the privacy. Cool stuff. The *real* question we should be asking is why isn't the Bitcoin privacy being fixed? 😮😐
A few new additions I picked up 😉 "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 "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 "Cashu isn't an alternative to Monero. Monero is cool." -Calle
This time last year, the ratio for BTC:ETH:XMR:ZEC donations via donate page addresses are around 40:20:20:1. We received more donations via Monero than Bitcoin and nearly all of the ETH came from a single, gigantic donation enough to hire a full time developer. Outside of Lightning (not official) then Monero is the only consistent, reliable flow of small crypto donations. ETH gets some as well but not as much.
If you would run Garnet Nostr client or publish your donation address in your profile we can increase the XMR numbers.
