Holy fuck, this is the quote of the day. If this is not the reason you are in crypto, you are not in crypto for the right reasons. This gave me chills when I heard it, and I had to go back and replay it a second time. #Monero #DownWithBigBrother #FuckTheFeds

I've been living on a budget for several years now and I tell you it works wonders. Even when you don't make a whole lot of money, when you have a budget and stick to it, you can actually get some things done. I don't think most people have the discipline needed to sit down and write out a budget and absolutely stick to it every single month.

yep, in bisq1 click Market > Offers by currency and the top of the table says "all offers" followed by a number (DAO must be in sync otherwise it might be incorrect). on bisq2 it just says offers to the right of the price when the application is open.

Looks like Peach has a total of 868 offers available. That is better than Bisq, but not by much. It also apparently is not available in the United States. Like, I was able to access the program, but there is no US dollar options from what I can tell.

No, that's the entire Bisq Network, including all fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies.

With all due respect to this guy, he has no fucking clue what he's talking about. Monero is organic adoption. The only reason that the Monero Bitcoin price is sliding is because the institutions are corrupting Bitcoin, your blackrocks of the world, etc. Bitcoin has lost its use case as money for the people and now it is money for the banks.

Personally, I put my money in the Monero basket.

I know of people who wish that crypto would just go away and the word would go back to meaning cryptography. Unfortunately for those people, crypto is a lot like the wheel. Once it's been invented, there's no uninventing it. That genie is out of the bottle and there's no way it's going back.

You know, it's honestly frustrating when some goddamn frog meme coin, like Pepe, is higher than something like #Monero, which seeks to change the world through financial #privacy. What kind of bullshit is that? I see Monero being the tortoise slowly but surely catching up, but it's just frustrating sometimes.

2024-06-18 14:07:54

#Haveno has broken through 70 offers quite hard. when i looked just a minute ago i saw 76 offers. #Monero #DEX

2024-06-17 12:40:06

Do you think #Haveno will overtake #Bisq as the primary p2p exchange? Why or why not?
Personally I think it is a definite possibility since it is cheaper to trade and cheaper to get started with. It is also around 10% of bisq's offer count after just over a month.

When encryption is illegal, everyone must break the law on purpose to show them that they have no right and they have no authority. Do whatever you must, whether it be downloading "illegal" software to use encryption or importing "illegal" hardware to use encryption. Whatever it takes. remember the first step of the ooda loop is to observe. break that and the rest becomes useless

#Haveno Reto is 1 month old today. So far average daily txns for June are at 4.7, there have been 137 trades, and an average offer count near 50.

To be fair, Monero's transactions have shot up decently well since then. When it was de-listed in February, Monero had about 25,000 transactions per day. Now, it's hovering between 30 and 35,000.

Currency has always lost whether it's gold sinking to the bottom of the sea on a ship or somebody throwing out a hard drive with thousands of bitcoin on it and spending years trying to get them to let him dig in the dump to find it. Coins will get lost. Some estimates are saying about 0.5% of the supply woyld be lost per year. If that's true, then our current inflation would be about 0.3% per year. That is still better than any currency in history, including gold, which the World Gold Council estimates inflates at about 1.5 to 1.8% per year. It's fair enough that we have different strategies. But if you want to hold Bitcoin, so be it. But perhaps you should consider spending in Monero since it's fully private.

The reason for the Nomax supply is so that the miners always have incentive to continue mining the chain while keeping fees low. However, you've got to consider that some coins are lost due to people throwing their hard drives into landfills or whatever. So some coins are going to be lost all the time, so our effective inflation rate will be around zero.

Oh, but they sure as hell can. They can get together and tell the miners in their country they either have to shut down or not mine these transactions. And if those are more than 51% of all mining power, then that's it. Even if your transaction gets mined, they could just orphan the block.

Right, and I ended up sending you another reply and just saying that if you want to save in Bitcoin and spend in Monero, then I see no problem with that. But it's personally not the way I've chosen to do things.

Yes, and a regular person is never going to make the mistake of transferring money from their savings account to something that has KYC on them. It's just too easy to dox yourself on total accident then to keep Bitcoin private. You as a privacy person on Bitcoin have to think, did I use that address? Does this address I'm going to send to have any way of linking to me with KYC? Are these funds tainted? A Monero user just presses send and doesn't have to worry about that.

Yeah, you can. But why would you want anybody being able to view your savings account balance, even if they don't know it's you? It just seems like a bad idea to have regular users having their net worth publicly showable online.

2024-05-23 22:39:12

- reply

You'd have to make sure to do absolutely everything at all times, non KYC, because if I transferred money from my savings account to my checking account and then spent it on, say, a domain, for example, then my savings and checking are both now known with KYC.
