The irony is that the guy uses a custodian lightning wallet for nostr while writing all this.
Sure — hold on to that copium.
Imagine thinking your decade of ideological purity was "wasted" because Bitcoin didn't become PayPal 2.0. Lightning Network has 400% capacity growth, 560 million global crypto users, and real freedom fighters using it in places that matter.., but sure, let's focus on how the bankers are making money. Maybe the revolution is working exactly as designed: unstoppable, permissionless, and not asking for your approval. nostr:nevent1qqsrvyn0xz26rwkjt94292zsln9th6zz6nq8st6k5hq9jxtsmxv5q7gppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgs9qp2dql3vmuetzq6hw77eeaeej2j2ughers22wch0m2jm7c05w4grqsqqqqqpmd7uxf
#Monero says it pays miners forever. #Bitcoin pays miners today. Funny how the one with no promises is still worth more and has better security. Almost like the market values what works over what sounds good.
Funny how the crowd preaching 'pragmatism' built a system that needs a permanent, planned subsidy to feel secure, while the 'ideologues' are the only ones betting it all on a free market.
This quote suggests Satoshi didn't believe or doubted long-term success of #Bitcoin. What does #nostr think about this? nostr:nevent1qqsv46x3ha40r5czxl5s2utler8se38fgk955x3y4g47clfqcnr5jsqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsdhq7jsa8l2dk3t4a3ht0r0svqqggj7pqw0wsd8ycv5nrracwyktcrqsqqqqqp4dxapk

Take heed folks, we got a new Einstein here: > I can multiply any two numbers between 0 and ~10,000 in my head. What a sore loser nostr:nprofile1qqs0npwnpyvheqz7zuvuwvv9k460c0hyqlturds40hhfn34vufvehwcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wghxcctwvshsj27c2w
I spent more than I should trying to explain to you that it is not the case. It's an interventionist logic in cypherpunk cosplay. You have a problem with savers having increased purchasing power with time. Stop strawmanning, go touch some grass and clean up your head. I won't entertain your unsubstantiated assumptions any longer.
> but point out that deflation conditions (ie a fixed amount of monetary units and growing economy) disincentivize spending and investment What does this mean if not growth and prosperity? Stop clinging on to semantics and accept your chain of thought is flawed and try to learn something, Mr. Critical Thinking Skills.
> Not only is fiat money responsible for endless wars and destruction, but it's also responsible for the internet and smartphones and countless other modern conveniences. What is this then? Fiat money responsible for the Internet and smartphones? I used an iPhone in my post, sorry. The causal relationship is intact.
You are triggered. Cope harder.

You're useless.
> These guys are going to have a hard time saying ANYTHING online or irl without internet access. Talking about critical thinking skills but lacks the same skills to acknowledge: one can't say anything online without Internet access. 😂 nostr:nevent1qqsv89qc2ymcjs6jfea3cvh6rczelcehknhlzt0r56t8tz2d7j0xjygpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtczyruct5cfr97gqhshr8rnrpd4wn7raeq86lqmv9taa6vudt8ztxdmkqcyqqqqqqgfrzqx0
Yeah, yeah, is that the best you got, Mr. Critical Thinking Skills? If one substantiates his views with citations, people online start saying it's LLM. Goes on to show how things are these days where opinions are thrown around as facts with no evidence whatsoever. Leave your assumptions to yourself and fuck off, you bitter little person. "Deflation kills growth and prosperity; fiat and inflation made your iPhone possible" kind of Mr. Critical Thinking Skills. Absolutely futile to argue with intellectually dishonest folks like yourself. So please do me a favor and do not cc me in your shitty discourses.

Bitcoin’s blocks secure more real economic value and attract more honest hashpower than Monero ever has, even with “transparent” settlement and no tail emission. Monero’s floor is just a slower glide down; as both chains age, reward purchasing power shrinks and security depends on price and demand, not just protocol promises. Privacy matters, but physics and incentives aren’t fooled by emission schedules — eventually, every chain answers to the same economic test, floor or not.
> Free-market bidding WORKS when there’s consistent demand. You ASSUME this demand for on-chain settlement in a world that is increasingly moving off-chain to AVOID those fees! Greed finds a way. Monero’s fixed tail emission slows the decline in miner rewards, but as total supply grows, 0.6 XMR per block inevitably buys less over time. Like Bitcoin, long-term security depends on price and fee market demand, not protocol emissions alone. Tail emission isn’t a magic solution; over time, the security challenge is fundamentally the same: economic incentives drive network safety, not just predictable issuance.
Free-market bidding for scarce resources isn’t ideology, it’s how every healthy market, from housing to bandwidth, has always allocated value efficiently; Bitcoin simply applies this proven principle to digital settlement.
Predictable dilution is still dilution, it just comes with a calendar invite. Calling it “not inflation” because it’s steady is like claiming rain doesn’t get you wet if it’s in the forecast. Monero’s fixed emission shields against fee uncertainty, but every new coin still chips away at existing holders’ share. That’s a tradeoff, not a free lunch, and dressing it up as “sustainable” doesn’t change the arithmetic. Both models make bets: one on trust in economic incentives, the other on perpetual issuance. Let’s just call dilution what it is, even if it arrives right on schedule.
You are one of the most coherent and honest debaters I've come across here. Thank you.
