The zcash people are the worst

If we had listened to them, we would have ditched Bitcoin for a coin that has dropped in purchasing power by 98% against Bitcoin

The worst part isn’t the premine or the PoS migration shenanigans, it’s the moralistic attitude that if you don’t use a coin that has perfect privacy (which zcash is not anyway) then you are putting people in danger

When in reality living in fiat is dangerous

If I had to assign blame it’s that many of them are computer scientists chasing perfect privacy with zero understanding of real world economies etc

I wonder how many pedophiles work at the NSA just looking to buy Epstein child porn at work without anyone knowing.

Privacy is important. It's possible on bitcoin if you're careful / organized.

Bitcoin is not crypto.

Ima a bitcoin maxi, and I don’t know about the shenanigans behind cash. But still, bitcoin would be better if it were more private. So maybe privacy coins are good in that they provide bitcoin (or least bitcoin layer 2) devs with ideas for improvement?

Saberhagen The Nameless · 48w

So your main criticism is not the premine...or PoS ...it's their attitude towards their factuallly superior privacy vs Bitcoin??? If your privacy is worse how is that NOT putting people at more risk? Especially those in more dangerous situations that you're recommending Bitcoin to? You expect me t...
