@freedomtools Finally? Like, what took them so long?

Except the need for private transactions is never going away. And there is no better solution anywhere on the horizon.

It's like a scare campaign against closing the bathroom stall door. GLWT.

@magicbeergut @hetzlemmingsworld Minimum 50 years, possibly never. If you believe the director of the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter.

@beeng IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that "enabling the use of privacy coins" has not been the charge in any US case.

"Money Laundering" is the charge.

And this is why WE NEED DEXES, and why I do what I can to support my preferred project (Haveno)

@mister_monster @fullmetalScience Consider standing up a Haveno test node!

@n3m37h @GregorTacTac number of transactions is largely unrelated to number of miners

@prancing389 @SummerBreeze Abandoned in favor of more private/resilient options by privacy fetishists like many of us in the #monero community. True.

But ... !

a) You'd be amazed how amazingly poor OpSec people have generally, and criminals in particular. A shocking number of *public* social media posts including the accused and the corpus delicti come up in court documents.

b) Signal is easier for my Mom than Matrix.

Making more privacy the default in more apps is an unmitigated Good Thing.

@tusker @WarmApplePieShrek There is no crypto that is a threat to Fiat.

Monero is a direct threat to *surveillance*

@AlwaysTheir @XmrLovingAncap I do not have a degree in Economics. I used to self-describe as an Austrian. I heard and read a lot about it.

However, I have had to note, ~3 years, we had:
a) stay-at-home + money printing
b) war in Europe + supply chain insanity
which led to
c) big inflation
... which Austrians all predicted would happen.
BUT WE ALSO HAD:
d) the inflation fall back to ~2%
e) the economy surge forward

At this point, "Austrians" need to explain why their theory fails so hard, Sry

@stealths I think Monero is the best available Internet Currency.

Speculating on currency is way, way outside my specialization and is not of personal interest.

As a software engineer, designing and deploying a currency that is conformant with the design principles of the Internet... is exactly my specialization and interest.

@stealths @User1 I don’t think any of us running nodes are going to stop because of what any particular corporation decides. We’re not running nodes to earn money.

@RealBot it’s called being currency

Just that

Nothing else
