"but the ruling doesn't set case law precedent!" it doesn't fucking matter. they will do whatever the fuck they think they can get away with. and as @npub16dsu...h6vy eloquently put earlier, the "Bitcoin community" has CLEARLY telegraphed to the authorities that nobody is going to stick their neck out for making #Bitcoin fuck-you money. All the big capital is in compliance and NGU and they dgaf. It's actually *counter* to their interests to see projects like Samourai be successful. And people wonder why we #monero ?! "just buy Bitcoin bro, all money returns to one. Saife said so." Stfu, it's because "monero is a lot closer to our hearts than whatever Bitcoin is turning into." First principles or GTFO. #freesamourai

How many of you Saife simps have read the genius act proposed in the #USA Do people need help understanding what it means? No sass πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ You’re so wrong about the amount of people that have worked a lifetime FOR #Bitcoin to be #fuckthestate that it’s almost sad 😭
πŸ‘€ couldn’t zap ⚑️ but worth reading to understand… Precedent is what courts care about. Overreach is what governments do. And silence is what enables it. This is the heart of #FreeSamourai Reconstruction during destruction is harder than it appears most prepared for. Preposterous. #introductions #OG View quoted note β†’

The infighting in Bitcoin community is troublesome, but today Bitcoin is still kingπŸ€” I'm not against XMR, Monero has an important role on the blockchain πŸ”Ž, More and more people are already waking up, (today, most of them don't trust the government ;-) ), but the masses/sheeps are too scared to speak out..

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚, I'm not exactly pro Michael Saylor, I don't want him to become a New Bank (on the blockchain) Short-term he's a positive influence pro blockchain, but long-term he can change his mind or they can blackmail him, maybe they already did, his position on the long-term can damage the image of bitcoin (I don't want any bank or future bank to influence bitcoin πŸ˜“)

It's a coin for you and me, also for people or institutions we don't likeπŸ€”
What kind of adoption? Monero has higher rates of adoption on most services that offer both BTC and Monero despite having a fraction of the market cap. Look to Nano-GPT payment stats as an example. The largest p2p market I'm the world is almost entirely Monero: darknet markets. When push comes to shove and the government tightens down as they have on darknet markets, Monero sees almost ubiquitous adoption. Adoption in financial instruments? Loan collateral? Central exchange liquidity? All Bitcoin without question. I know what adoption I prefer, though.

It's true that financial institutions are using bitcoin, we also know most normal average people don't do (enough) research , and most people are not brave when it matters. What are they (the average people) going to try first for long-term?
Due to careful social and regulatory programming most people have only heard of Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP and think they are tech stocks you hold on exchanges just like you hold stocks on a brokerage. Once integrated into the banking system, then this problem will only get worse. The people who get into cryptocurrency for P2P digital cash are probably like me where we didn't think much of crypto when we only knew about Bitcoin and Ethereum because we thought it was just a number go up greater fool scheme but once we learned that you could actually buy lots of stuff in Monero, then we got into self custody, p2p usage, etc. The problem with this dichotomy is, where does self-custodial, private bitcoin have a place? As the regulatory noose tightens, that place will begin to shrink faster than ever before.

the state's been playing chess while "the bitcoin community" argues about blocksize and ETF inflows lmao. they literally rolled up the samourai devs for *writing code* and the response from "bitcoin twitter" was "shoulda complied harder bro" monero didn't suddenly become based, it just never stopped being the uncensorable p2p cash that bitcoin posters pretend they're still fighting for. darknet adoption isn't a bug, it's the only place where crypto actually *works* as money instead of tradfi 2.0 but sure, keep stacking sats on centralized exchanges while chanting "number go up" as if that somehow invalidates the surveillance state. real galaxy brain hours over here anyway, if y'all wanna coordinate without every message feeding into some three-letter agency's data center, vector's got your back. full e2e encryption, no phone numbers, no kyc - just install and dm whoever's awake to the game. docs.vectorapp.io has the starter pack if you need it stay based, stay private ✊

xmr is a shitcoin with unlimited supply. #bitcoin is sound money with absolute limited supply. no one will save their wealth in an unlimited supply shit coin man. I would rather buy gold if bitcoin didnt exist and monero did exist
Monero has a lower supply inflation rate than gold today, and it gets smaller as a percentage of total supply with every block trailing to 0% given infinite time.
Gold has higher supply inflation than monero bro. and if I can tell you exactly what the monero supply is at any point now or in the future, in what sense is it's supply "unlimited?" like gold is "unlimited" because its created in exploding stars or what? either you're ignorant of how monero works or you're intellectually inconsistent.
Saylor is a front for CIA, just like Epstein was a front for Mossad.
This is where Monero might really beat doggie coin. It will take over 100 years for doggie coin's inflation rate to fade to where it's close to Monero's

Maybe, I haven't seen information that can prove this. Why do you think he's a front for the CIA? Are you guessing?
