- if this movement is about #freedomtech, and the ends > means, then let us be agnostic toward the devices that get us there. i'm a Bitcoiner because i think it's the most likely to succeed, but that has more to do with first mover advantage, network effect and momentum, than the tech itself. i don't necessarily want to be part of a club. the camaraderie in #btc is a wonderful thing, but it is secondary to my desire to smash tyrants; to be free and to live in a free world.
- im saying that to say this: i've been mixing my bitcoin into cold storage using #whirlpool for a about a week and i'm only about half way to the anon set i'd like to reach. it wasn't cheap either. i decided to download cake wallet and within an afternoon i had swapped in and out of #xmr for a fraction of the whirlpool fees. and the time invested is night and day. and time is money. this is one example of my larger point; are we missing opportunities because of a binary mind set (bitcoin vs shitcoin)? another example is the #lightning network. i run a node (poorlyi). it's a mystifying pain in the nuts, and i'm not a tech dummy. i've seen stories of devs giving up on it. i know others have pondered following suit. is #liquid less of a shitcoin than Monero?
- maybe our hot wallets are atomic swaps into shitcoins. bsv when you want to be accountable; xmr when you don't. or #ergo . why not? real question, i don't know shit, but i shouldn't be afraid to ask amongst adults.
- if #ln or #fedimints or #ark or some other L2 is able to scale to a worldwide p2p cash system then great. i'd prefer to keep it all in the family, but they seem way too complicated atm and let's not lose sight of the real goal with all of this. #winning
