XMR MONERO is what BTC was supposed to be. It is amazing! Featherwallet is a great wallet of many. Cakewallet is easy for converting.

I’m so glad I met you. I respect your decision.

We lost a fight but not the war. The sun will rise again tomorrow. How about an alternative that abides Satoshi's rules?

Can you articulate who/what is manipulating Bitcoin…?

"The powers that should not be" is based Gotta say though, I've been into Bitcoin for over 15 years and was never a maxi, and I still believe in the vision originally outlined by Satoshi Nakamoto

Man bitcoin has a history of seeing people crashing out, best of luck in whatever you pursue next Bitcoin will still be here if you would ever like to return

I'll stick around for the fiat gains but the freedom money dream is dead. Saylor and the core faggot devs can pump my bags and hopefully I can time cashing out before the end. We're all degen shitcoin traders now because Lopp, Taproot wizards, a Zionist mossad asset, and a blue haired femboi successfully turned Bitcoin into a shitcoin while most of the inflooencers cheered them on.

We can change the difficulty adjustment. We just have to survive long enough for the next difficulty adjustment, and the proof of work survives sudden heavy mining. I can build models that show the adjustment regime works and handles a 1000x hashpower rise and then also a drop of tye same size and the rest is just actually making the hard fork. I already designed several of these algorithms before because i was being paid to save a coin from a broken DAA.

Do not be discouraged. There is still hope if there is still memory.

Bitcoin was a 17 year long false-hope swindle

when the community / property / market condition changes - may another time to get back into btc - anyone can $10 in anycoin without reading studying Q who wanna put major life saving at this stage in major class n why - bitcoin no longer meet such criteria anymore. have 3 npubs and can accept zap in btc/xmr/eth/bch in nostr - that's where we stand now.

all SHIT N SHIFT started 2019 for 8 years was best good cycle then all blown out of proportion when pedostien money started flowing in.

nothing ever will be next just which chain how much u wanna hodl n swap to another at first sign of danger.

and more non tech wall st jewish pimps using just fiat

go beg ✡

how is the taste of the boots tho? does it make up for the indignity?

We may never get back to b/r with inflation.

real smart OGs exited in 2025 weak OGs started exiting from 2017 onwards satoshi cannot spend his coins anymore (without KYC)

if you are curious about what i'm talking about, i made a note today about a draft design for a hard fork that eliminates taproot, binds to the shared mempool, has a two pronged difficulty adjustment regime that enables the chain to survive both big increases and decreases of hashpower. i'm working on the finer details and implementing it. it will be a new type of testnet identifier, and will require actual mining on it to progress. i will run a miner on my VPS with the instance alongside it, and for now it will just be a testnet, in that, the real activation will reset back to sync with the main chain and then start the new protocol at flag day. the idea is to get people to stress test it, find out what conditions it doesn't cope with, it's designed to handle both the big hash power changes and also eliminate checkpoints and replace them with a robust, in-protocol checkpointing system that stops big miners from minting a sidebranch and then overtaking and breaking the history, censorship attack. lots of little details but i have tested already in past work most of the elements of the DAA that i am proposing. and it will enable bulletproofs, also. which means we can give the middle finger to the moneros "you want private transactions, now you don't need monero" and the idea is that because it can survive any attack, and because it will enable the use of a lot of idle old hashpower people have laying around in their garages, it improves ux for lightning, enables lightning and ark schnorr signatures, and deletes taproot. it will be awesome. and i expect that coretards will be mad as hell and think it's not serious, and then start to get mad and attack it, and it won't break, and then eventually big miners start to see it has value as we build shapeshift style atomic swaps against spamchain and people can sell bitcoins and enable a price discovery process.

Just hope you stick around 🫂

I'm admitting defeat. Shitcoiners, Saylor, miners, the Consortium are in charge now. No tantrum, just not afraid to face reality. I hope I'm wrong.

Good, and I hope that remains possible for a long time.

Same as Jim Cramer last week. Probably the exact bottom of the market.

Except unlike Cramer I anticipate serious bag pumping for the medium term at least. Saylor and friends are in control now and they want a payoff. I'm happy to ride that wave up. The only thing that's changed for me is my eyes are open. Bitcoin isn't freedom money or separating money and state like I thought it was. But I atill anticipate NgU for a while.

I understand your principled position, and will be glad to buy your coins when you wish to sell. Honey Badger don’t give a shit.

I feel you. Then I see this also as growing up. The world is complex and much more dark than many of us can even imagine. Maximalism to me still represents the boy looking for a strong father figure that once established orders the worldly things. It's a nice story, but it has to break down sooner or later. Welcome to the brotherhood on the other side, where we manage uncertainties as they reveal themselves. It might be very well an initiation rite your going through. Take your time.

Ok we listed a few corporations in this illustration. What are these corporations doing to manipulate bitcoin..? Can anyone identify how the manipulation @@Séimí Mac Síomón mentions is taking place?

Love your way to put things. It shows you read some psychology. What are your favourite 3 books if i may ask?

I do think I read quite a few books. Butvto be honest I asked myself what were greek and egyptian philosophers reading and I came to the conclusion that they observed. So I mainly read in the books... of my life. of (y)our life. of the life. It's not so much important what you read. It's more important that you are in the right environment where other people spark your ingenuity. So before starting to ask for another authority figure - the book - sit down and observe what you already know about yourself, where your edges of the body (really?) begin and how you can create experiments to expand your awareness. Then maybe come back and ask for a book recommendation - or not?

Some books are great guides!

Sweet, I'm asking $200k/btc, interested? If not I'll just wait for Saylor to pump my bags like I said.

👍

Yea keep pumping those troupes. Pump my bags. I got you for 199k/btc. Want them?

I already cashed out above 100k when everybody was acting like it would keep going up forever. Put it towards paying down my mortgage. I only have small change in Bitcoin for shits and giggles anymore. It's no longer good for anything other than a speculative investment. They all LARP like they're freedom fighters but their actions suggest that their primary motive is fiat denominated capital gains to make them look rich on paper. They can't even do that part right because they don't take profits. They just HODL and masturbate. Post a bunch of cope about how they stay strong in a downtown, but you know it hurts anybody to lose 50% of your purchasing power in less than a year. My house is a better inflation hedge than your fucking UTXOs, and it has the added benefit of providing one of my primary survival needs. Monero has better price stability than Bitcoin, is fully private, more decentralized, gives me cheap, fast transactions, and I can even mine it on my desktop PC. The fact that none of the KYC exchanges will list it is more of an endorsement than an indictment. I only buy Bitcoin to swap it for Monero.

Sad but true.

Cash (which NGU hypemen and Epstein-Blockstream sycophants revile to this day, because it’s continuing to prove all their bullshit claims about big blocks wrong) and Monero are around to keep Satoshi’s dream alive, if you’re so interested.

Mine the sats. Hold the sats. Spend the sats. Don’t overthink it. Money was never meant to be a religion. Spend your time wisely (as you are now). ✌️

So does your Bitaxe

First of all you don't even know what I'm paying for electricity. I calculate about a 20% profit margin. Second, that's not even the point for me. The point is that I CAN do this with general purpose computing hardware that also has a host of other uses for me. Mining Monero is not the only value that I derive out of my desktop PC. Far from it. A SHA-256 ASIC is useless for anything else.

Oh I will.

What misinformation?

Like a lot of users you are in denial of the capture that has taken place.

There were already people moving to usurp the project when Satoshi was still around. It's been corrupt for a long time. There's a small club and you're not in it. Yet you all go around with this unearned sense of superiority while you LARP at being freedom fighters. You haven't saved anybody from anything and you haven't won anything either. At least I was smart enough to cash out and translate it into material benefit in my life. The rest of you masturbate to your ephemeral USD gains and then turn to posting cope when half your buying power evaporates in a matter on months. The rest of the world doesn't take you seriously. You thought you won wall Street but they are using Bitcoin as a speculative toy to pump and dump. Your arrogance is misguided.

I said what I said and I'll keep saying it. Not sorry if you don't like it.

One Bitcoin equals one Bitcoin, so there’s no need for me to over pay now. When your number hits, sell. I’ll be buying.

You say misinformation as if you have any authority to label anything as such. I just swapped more Bitcoin for Monero and it feels pretty good. I'm going to tell people about it. You're nobody anon. Count your UTXOs and STFU.

I'm not going to help you maintain the boundaries of your fantasy. Bitcoin is a speculative investment with little utility and has been co-opted by scammers.

I also renounce the cult and “bitcoin-only” attitude. As of the past two weeks 😅 Bio-110 didn’t have enough hash, I don’t think the failure automatically means the dream of overthrowing the governments and everyone on earth using bitcoin is dead. Thing is tho Seimi, looking back I’m not sure Satoshi ever believed it like that anyway. Satoshi made us a tool. Not an idol to worship.
