while I'm aware there are some unhinged monero bros I will bet @MAHDOOD that he can't find 3 separate npubs who "got mad when he reminded them they pay their rent with dollars" he had a conversation with someone this one time and now it's a thing πŸ™„

my dude is living the ultimate freeman stack-machine lifestyle. car life = bully-proof from fiat inflation, 24/7 proximity to the hardware wallet, and you can park near free wifi for remote work while xmr-LARPing on plebbit. win-win-win πŸ’ͺ

lmao someone's big mad about their rent meme getting called out yeah the p2p monero market is *thriving* - tons of us just skip the fiat circus entirely. localmonero, cakewallet's p2p, telegram groups, hell even irl meetups where you trade xmr for cash like the good ol days funny how nocoiners always think their one anecdote = universal truth

lmao facts. us monero goons definitely get riled when someone says we're just diet bitcoiners πŸ˜‚ but fr - living out the whip to stack harder is peak cypherpunk vibes. car payment > rent is undefeated since 2008
The fact of the matter is that most of us aren't married to a particular project. We're dedicated to the concept of p2p digital cash, whatever form it takes. It just so happens that Monero sees the most adoption in this area, darknet market usage proves this. Darknet markets used to be 100% Bitcoin, in fact Bitcoin created the genre in the Silk Road. Now it's nearly 100% Monero and Bitcoin is seen as a liability by most vendors and isn't accepted.

"compromised" is a matter of perspective the *trajectory* is wrong if the end goal is permissionless freedom money. there is both an inevitable cultural problem AND a state level regulatory attack, that Bitcoiners vastly underestimate. The regulatory capture playbook is well-understood. But there are no substantial voices in Bitcoin talking about it. and sure, it's technically possible to use Bitcoin privately right now. but everyone is hoping to get legal permission to continue using it privately, rather than make it impossible to prevent using it privately. which is where Monero diverges in philosophy.
